Anand Mahindra | What on earth is stopping us?.. Mahindra post viral

Anand Mahindra: It is surprising that India, with a population of over one hundred and forty crores, could not win double-digit medals in the Olympics.

India won seven medals in Tokyo Olympics. India ranked 48th in the World Games. The dream of Indian athletes who wanted to win at least ten medals in Paris was dashed. At the same time, four of them turned back in the quarters and lost the medal. And Vinesh Phogat, who was expected to bring a medal in wrestling, unexpectedly left. A hundred grams of extra weight ruined her medal hopes.
