  • Indian Athletes: A national record-holding steeplechaser from Bulandshahr, a hurdler from a Haryana village, a long-distance runner from Hamirpur. Athletes by day and gig workers by night, they are among hundreds of budding players whose track and field dreams begin in the densely packed lanes of Kotla Mubarakpur. The Indian Express spends time in the Delhi neighbourhood, tracking their long, daily sprints.

    I'm so used to the insane benefits and support American athletes receive. 2 practices a day, weight training, physiotherapy, massage therapy, recovery baths, and nutritionally-balanced meals, not to mention a roof over their heads and as much rest as they need. These young Indian athletes are so hard-working, they would absolutely be winning international competitions if they were given the same support.

    This is so sad, so many medals, so much training, so many events and being treated like this. I am not undermining the ability of Indian athletes but this where we are clearly failing. Olympic medal is a glory to achieve and every single politicians will take credit for it but when it comes give sustainability and justice to these athletes, every politicians will either run from their responsibility or promote propaganda of anti-national or call them free loaders.

      @@drago4803 Its quiet a deep psychological and philosophical question and it can go deep down the rabbit hole as we discuss more. Let me cut short for you, its how human society evolved over time. Playing sports does not mean "not contributing to anything". In Societal sense it is contributing through many way for instance, motivation for fitness, pushing physical level, entertainment etc. Contribution can be further extended to what transaction is being made out between the parties and in what context.

    I have seen athletes running at JLN Stadium or nearby kartavya path. Many of them are from grassroot. All these are true strugglers. There stories are inspiration but at the same time it disappoint me somewhere.
    No doubt our system is doing something by providing jobs for sportperson, accessibility to sports amenities,sport quota in defence,etc. But still there is long way to go.

    I had practiced in jawaharlal lal nehru stadium. I took a pause in my journey in 2022 when I was in class 10th due to financial problem.... I decided to continue my study... now I have completed my 12th (science stream - pcm) and I am start preparing for nda exam... There are so many problem if you have not enough money and family support as it will cause depression and increase pressure in the athlete life in sport... I think government should support these athlete by organising tournament and give atleast enough scholarship to meet their expenses of around 6-12 months.

    High-time Indians look beyond cricket and IPL. Who are the athletes, boxers, wrestlers and hockey players who have been making India proud with medals? Most of them come from villages and small towns with very humble means and fought much harder to make it to the national and international stage. If we celebrate their medals, we must celebrate their struggle too, and they are in thousands.
