It’s unfortunate that the nonsense about the lack of Indian athletes is in the limelight more than the fact that India actually won medals. Three medals, to be exact, which, though not that many, is still the most they’ve ever won in an Olympiad. One should note that India, out of the 81 participating nations, was 50th in the medal count. Hey, it’s far from last. We’ve come a long way from a white man winning the first Indian gold. I quite honestly was a little disappointed that a hockey team wasn’t fielded, since historically, it is India’s strongest Olympic sport (also a cricket event would be thrilling), but let’s not get into that.
So without further ado, congratulations are in order to Sushil Kumar (Bronze – 66kg class wrestling), Vijender Kumar (Bronze – Middleweight boxing), and Abhinav Bindra (Gold – 10m shooting). I took the liberty of giving the stars Gold medals in events that they should have won, after the jump.

Sushil Kumar: Gold - Least likely to be f$#ked around with
Vijender Kumar: Gold - Most amount of teh wiminz he's about to attract
Abhinav Bindra: Gold - Ability to be a Gangsta' (check that picture man!)
Their success no doubt shows that the Indian people are very capable on the world stage, and hopefully it motivates all the budding athletes to make an effort to represent in four years time.
And if that doesn't work, well, hopefully they'll be motivated by hotter prospects. Sorry, dude, I really hope it happens, regardless.
