Everyone was confident that India is going to increase its medal tally from the Bejing Olympics and it happened when India Finished 55th with two silver and four bronze medals at London Olympics.
London Olympics gave Indians many moments to celebrate, Be it indian boxers thrashing opponents in one sided bouts or Indian athelete reaching finals of 800 m race.There was change in atitude this time in indian camp as Silver medalist Sushil kumar said "Nobody is participating in london olympics to become olympians but they are aimimg for medals" and this was cleary visible when 84 Indian athelets were participating in 13 sports.
18 out of 84 athelets were from a small Indian state called Haryana and
4 out of 6 medals India won are from athelets of Haryana.After every major sports event Athelets from Haryana comes to limelight be it Bejing Olympics or Delhi 2010 or London Olympics.Haryana is slowly becoming Hub of medal winners in different sports - Boxing, Wrestling,Badminton, Shooting.
London Olympics become the first olympics for India were opening and closing ceremony flag bearers (Sushil Kumar & Marry Com) were Medal winners in current as well as previous Olympics (Marry Comm sport was not part of Bejing Olympics). London Olympics would always be remembered as India douled its medals tally from last Bejing Olympics.
