INDIA WON GOLD

Congratulations to Golden Boy Neeraj Chopra 🇮🇳 🏅 👏⭐️🥳

Congratulations Neeraj Chopra and India. 🥳

Hope he gets grand welcome when he arrives back to india.

I've noticed no matter how many medals the Indian sportsmen and sportswomen bring back to india be in Olympics or Commonwealth Games, they don't get grand welcome or any monetary or cars or sponsorship. Why? where as cricket gets grand welcome, biggies give grand cars and so on. all should be treated equally.

Also, imho, it is futile to compare cricket benefits to other sports. Extremely large rewards are direct derivatives of business outcomes. If other sports are as popular and bring in viewership revenue etc, that gets channeled back into its management, development and perks. It took 50+ years for cricket management to reach this level of excellence and strength.

Also, most countries have a national team sport which is usually more popular than individual ones (and other team sports as well for that matter) because of the collective energy and hysteria that team sporting generates. That is the nature of team sport.

really happy for him.

What I said before was few years ago there was no-one at airport (no politician - sports minister, reporters no crowd etc) to receive them when these athletics had brought back quite a few medals. The disappointment on their faces really made me so sad.

Keeping aside our differences I really appreciate ur effort to make this thread , I am genuinely very happy n congratulations to our golden boy 🥳

The feeling of hearing our national anthem there was enough for me to have tears m goosebumps ! Imagine the happiness n proud of the athletes n people associated with them ✨

At last thank you for this thread!

There are state govts in India that assume a dhoti and shirt is the best reward for India’s Olympic hockey goalkeeper 🙄 The centre and BCCI will be rewarding the team monetarily separately, but imagine the gumption of the Kerala govt that rewards a resident thus. Pathetic.
