Indian Contigent In Beijing Olympics

[apne]

The contigent of Indian players who participated in opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics have appalled both media and cloth designers back home. Their dress code was pure dehati style..the men were wearing sherwani and women were a mix of sari and track-suits. They looked as if they were on a fun camp organised on funds of Indian govt.

Sania Mirza , the glamorous teen tennis sensation, was dressed in track pants. Back home her dress code esp. her mini skirts have often created controversies. But, alas when the time had come to show her taste for clothing in a society and an event which would have welcomed her look, she chose to wear track suit. The reason being the saris meant for the female players were not delivered to them on time. But, it is improbable that she did not have a replacement plan, as did her collegues.

Since the team will be unable to make a mark in any sport event, atleast they could have dressed properly, to depict a nicer picture of India in world media. Maybe, they dressed this way on purpose. Media now will not focus on them and they can hide the shame of their un-performance in coming weeks.

LOL! It's shocking that a nation of 1 Billion people can produce so few competitive athletes....even the hockey team didn't qualify!

It was good to see Dastars in the Canadian team though.
