The Story in Brief
The Hindu published a daily quiz on India's performance at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The quiz tests readers' knowledge of medal winners and notable achievements from the event. India had a strong showing at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, winning a total of 64 medals including 15 gold, 30 silver, and 19 bronze. The quiz covers various sports including wrestling, shooting, weightlifting, and badminton.
The Indian Opinion
The endless lionising of a handful of medal winners while ignoring the system that produces them is a tired act. Headlines scream 'glory' but never ask why our best athletes often train abroad or in private facilities. A real test for Indian sports is not the count of golds but the number of government school playgrounds with functioning equipment. How many of those medals came from athletes who never had to crowdfund their own travel?
