The whole country is boiling! India celebrates finally winning a gold medal, and the total number of medals in India 100 years is ridiculous.

According to comprehensive media reports, China and the United States competed for medals in this Olympic Games until the last day or even the last moment. The United States not only ranks first in the total number of medals, but also leads one in the gold medal list. As far as China is concerned, Tokyo has already had the best performance in participating in overseas Olympic Games, leading the gold medal list almost all the way, which is completely satisfactory. But the real national boiling is India!

Indian athlete Nijera chopra became a hero in India. He won the javelin at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Indian Prime Minister Modi said excitedly at the first time that people will always remember chopra's achievements. At the same time, Tokyo Olympic Games is also India's best achievement in Olympic track and field events after 12 1 year. India won two silver medals at the Paris Olympics with 1900. Of course, India was not an independent country at that time, but a British colony.

India won 7 medals in this Olympic Games, namely 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals and 4 bronze medals. Even if we don't compare the results of 12 1, chopra is the only Indian Olympic gold medalist for decades. After returning from Tokyo, chopra received a super grand welcome at Indira Gandhi International Airport, and thousands of fans surrounded the airport, although the COVID-19 epidemic has not subsided. Chopra's hometown will also reward him with 60 million rupees and a job as a civil servant. It's hard to imagine an Olympic athlete being treated so grandly in India, which calls itself a "world power".

In fact, just a few days ago, even CNN ridiculed that a country with a population of 65.438+0.3 billion won only three medals at the Tokyo Olympics. Compared with China, which India has always wanted to compete with, India began to participate in the modern Olympic Games in 1900, making it the first country in Asia to participate in the modern Olympic Games. China, who participated in the Olympic Games from Liu Changchun in 1932, was several decades earlier, and even won a medal. However, from 1900 to 20 16, it is ridiculous that India only won 28 medals in more than 100 years.

China won 542 Olympic medals, including 224 gold medals, ranging from 1984 to 20 16. The level of competitive sports fully reflects the soft power of a country. It's not that India doesn't attach importance to sports, but it has long been inclined to advocate elastic sports like yoga and "colonial sports" like cricket. Indian schools and parents also hope that their children will become decent engineers or doctors in the future, not athletes. However, in response to India's "dream of a big country", Indian officials and media have also begun to attach importance to the Olympic Games. In 20 15, it was rumored that India would bid for the 2024 Olympic Games, but IOC President Bach said after his visit to India that the Olympic Games were still too early for India. Text /PY
