India looks to improve its standing
by increasing the tally of medals in the Britain Olympic Games 2012
India is in the gold
hunt underway at the Britain 2012 Games, and the treasures are not buried in lost
galleons undersea. The gold is there for the winner and also for the onlookers
who rejoice in the victory.
Heracles is credited
with the creation of the Olympic Games. He was a son of Zeus, and the Olympics have
been celebrated as the running of the stade (distance of 192 m) year after
year. This ceremony carried on every four years for about 1200 years and has
had its fans and followers. However, there was a break when a Christian emperor
took the throne (Theodosius I) and abolished the pagan practices. Pierre de Coubertin
began the revival of the Olympics and through his speech revived interest in
the sports arena. Athens had the honor to be the venue of the Games.
Today India is in the
hunt for gold at the Britain 2012 Games. And the chase is on, because, though
many medals are there to be won, only gold medals matters, the ones that
differentiate the winning edge from the rest of the world.
People and fans of
India, who would settle for silver, or bronze, would also contribute to the
tally at the Britain 2012 games, but when the final Olympics countdown begins,
it is only gold for India that matters.
Here is to the Gold
Rush! Here is to India!
