Ten years that changed Indian sports

The decade started with the unlucky tagline none in a billion.India hadn't yet won an person Olympic gold after eight decades of contest at the world's greatest sporting spectacle and had a bronze medal each to show for at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games.Hopes of becoming a multi-discipline sporting nation was a delusion and the national ritual of castigating the system, the administrators and finally athletes and coaches after each Olympics had become second habit.

The first decade of the 21st century has changed all that. India will now go to London in July-August 2012 with a realistic chance of seven-eight Olympic medals. We have a number of world champions in shooting, serious medal aspirants in boxing and wrestling, a budding world champion in badminton, ageless performers in tennis and an outside chance of a medal in athletics, archery and swimming.

Indian Olympic sport has undergone a fundamental transformation in the years 2001-2010 . Ranked second in the Common wealth Games and an unparalleled medal haul at Guangzhou where India won medals in a enormous 14 disciplines demonstrates a simple truth Indians aren't overawed by the world stage anymore.If Olympic sport was the surprise package, Indian cricket consolidated its hold at the top on expected lines. Off the field the shift of world cricket's nerve centre to the sub-continent is now complete.
