Nepotism is bringing down Indian Kabaddi. First time in history that we have to settle for a bronze after two consecutive losses against South Korea and Iran. BTW, Iran has an Indian coach!

Kabaddi is a contact team sport. Played between two teams of seven players, the object of the game is for a single player on offence, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be "revived" for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle.

Quite depressing to see even North Kore racing ahead of India in the medals tally. On the brighter side, Indian Women's Hockey Team qualified for the finals for the first time in 20 years!

We are still way behind in sports.

Like in many aspects we as a nation are lagging in individual & team sports events.

Hopefully new initiatives taken by sports ministry and GOI will bear fruit in years to come.
