Alas! no medals
When even a small country like the Bahamas
and the poorest country Ethiopia grabbed medals at the Sydney Olympics, our athletes and
sports authorities have come up with the most innovative of excuses. These are only some
of them. 'Such big events is not for winning but participating. The competition was
much too fierce for Nepal. We are not familiar with such atmosphere. So far, all our
sports ministers (before and after democracy) have had nil qualification in sports'. The
most important thing is that our sports council is very much politicized and nepotism is
rampant in the day to day running.
