I have thought about this for years. How ironic is it that India, by and large a peaceful nation and peace-loving people excels in the killer sports: shooting, archery, boxing, wrestling, and the strong person sport weightlifting? Who says we do not have the killer instinct?rajitghosh wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 3:54 pm Indian wrestlers have the most killer instinct (pun intended). It is proven. You need killer instinct to win medals.
The only non-killers are: Sindhu, Leander, and hockey.
I always wonder why these other countries can pick up other sports that need strength and flexibility such as judo, karate, taekwondo, etc. and be competitive and we cannot.
Or the other killer sport: fencing. Maybe this takes too much money and infrastructure?
We should also focus on the throwing events and cycling. Imho.
