Why India, With 1.4 Billion People, Ranks 71st in the Olympics | Why Indian Athletes Struggle in International Games

India, a country with over 1.4 billion people, ranks 71st in the Olympics, which raises a crucial question: why does a nation with such a large population consistently struggle to perform well in international sports? Despite having an enormous talent pool, the performance of Indian athletes on the global stage often falls short, especially in the Olympics and other major international competitions. In this video, we dive into the reasons why India is not performing at its best in international games and highlight the challenges faced by Indian athletes.

One of the main reasons behind India's underperformance is the lack of proper infrastructure and facilities. While a few elite athletes have access to top-notch training facilities, most Indian athletes train in subpar environments, which directly affects their preparation and performance. Another significant issue is the insufficient funding and financial support for most sports. While cricket continues to dominate, other sports like athletics, football, and wrestling often receive little to no funding, limiting the opportunities for athletes to excel.

Furthermore, there is a serious gap in grassroots development and talent identification. The process of scouting young athletes at the grassroots level is inadequate, and without proper early training, many talented individuals never get the opportunity to develop their skills and compete internationally. The quality of coaching also remains a major hurdle. Many coaches, especially in non-mainstream sports, lack the necessary expertise and resources to provide world-class training to athletes.

On top of these systemic issues, Indian athletes face immense mental and emotional stress. The pressure to perform well for a country with such high expectations often leads to burnout, and mental health support remains an overlooked aspect of an athlete’s career.

In this video, we will explore all these challenges in-depth and discuss how India can address these issues to improve its performance in international sports. The road to change may not be easy, but it's necessary for a brighter future in sports for India.
