Great!...we could have won atleast 5  medals with a little bit of luck. I must admit, I under-estimated our prospects this time! ::cheers:: ::cheers::
Otherwise, a seperate Child board for the Olympics would have been on.

Sorry....I have given the wrong info above.
India first participated in 1900 Paris Olympic......courtesy Norman Pritchard of Calcutta, who was then holidaying in Paris. He bagged two silver medals in 200m. dash and 200m hurdles.
There was no hockey team then.
Indian hockey team first participated in 1928 Amsterdam......where they won their first Gold.
For other details....chk out the link below.

BRAVO   BRAVO   Sushil Kumar. He has done India proud. It seems like Vijender Singh is also locked in for Bronze. May he win better than that.

Way to go boys....brilliant stuff and most importantly all winners are from small towns with a huge desire to win....

Thanks again to these guys for doing the nation proud and showing the masqueraders like Sania and Hesh what it means to wear India colours....
