    This man is a lot smarter than every single cricketer in the present cricket team but the media wouldn't really care much about him for obvious reasons. You make us proud Siva. Sad you couldn't bare our tri-color at games,our incompetitive IOA will never be forgiven for this.

    Just watching him "train/practice" on those Himalayan roads amid those herds of sheep, heavy traffic, sharp turns by those trenches was shivering....even though that was still not enough/not any near to the actual luge track (which could have actually helped) ....he risked his life just to get a little closer(to get the feel) to the actual thing :/ ....Sports (other than cricket) is really in shambles in India :/

    when I read the newspaper, the only thing I am able to find and read is cricket, when cricket is not even the national sport of our country. Our country should be ashamed, that they are not even able to send sufficient people for winter olympic games. They don't even bring the proper coverage and news of what happens in the olympics. shame on the sports authority of India.
