India's Sports Sector

The conclusion of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 brought immense joy to the nation. India won its first gold medal in track and field events of the Olympics. A total of 7 medals were won, which marks India’s best score at the Olympics. However, despite this, India finished 48th in the event. Whereas Japan, with a far less population, came 3rd on the leaderboard.   Thus, it shows that with the right guidance and hard work, it is not impossible for India to compete against countries like the US and China. The government and the private sector should come forward to support the sportspersons and breed robust sports culture in India.
