Sports federations are run by politicians. Real talent is not recognised at local levels. Politics interferes in the selection process. We in India celebrate mediocrity. China had introduced self imposed moratorium (i.e. did not participate in Olympics for quite some time). Then there is issue of sports infrastructure. Talent is rewarded only after success and before that there is hardly any state support. Span of a sportsman career is 5-10 years. Govt. should come out with National Sports Policy with clearly laid out objectives. Identify areas where Indians can excel.
