Michael Phelps leads India in his medal haul

[amjath]

Its a great honor to congratulate Michael Phelps.

Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time - after he won his 22nd Olympic medal, and his fourth gold of these Games.

He would be ahead of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Croatia, Chile, Israel, the old Russian Empire and Tunisia. He's also ahead India, Taiwan, Portugal, Nigeria and Thailand. In terms of golds, he's ahead of North Korea.

Sad to see most people (not necessarily on forum) ranting like cry babies. Stop whining and do something to change the system. Encourage your kids to become professional athletes. Rs 1 crore for one Olympic medal is incentive enough. Time to be positive.

Medal tally has gone up from 1 in 1996, 2000 and 2004 to 6 in 2012. That is significant. I think we will do better.

On the darker side, people still need 'connection' to become professional athlete.
