    Based on the NBC Olympics site they have 123 athletes at the games, give or take a few for a calculation error on my part.

    Minister of Sport for India was given a warning by the IOC for being rude, pushing and other acceptable behavior from his entourage. This totally doesn't surprise me.

    Rio Olympics officials warn India: Your delegation is pushy and rude

    I was just curious, really since i never saw them on podium lists or even their uniforms. And then there are those news on their bureaucrat's behaviour. I had no idea.

    I am enjoying your local obeservations.....

    Womens field hockey last night US vs India was a good game - impressive for the US women who came in last in 2012 - impressive for the women of India - male dominated sport and society

    Yes, India has athletes in the Olympics.
    You're thinking of Mexico. They can't get
    enough qualified athletes to put together
    a team. Anyone that can run, jump, or
    swim is already here. rimshot....

    Women's badminton singles final was one of the best sporting events I've seen in awhile - Carolina Marín of Spain vs PV Sindhu of India - about an hour and a half match but I think you'd find it enjoyable
