India is indeed a unique country where tradition and modernity co-exist without much difficulty.
This holds true in the sports field too. Alongside history, culture & arts India has thrived
in the fields of different sports. Cricket, hockey, tennis, shooting, archery and a host of other
contemporary sports are played in the country. If on the one hand there is great passion for the
very Brit cricket, there is equal interest in homegrown games like kho-kho, gilli-danda, and
kabaddi. Besides this, there are other popular games like pithu, marbles andchhon-chhupai (Hide
and Seek) which children play in their homes and on the streets. Traditional games play important
role in developing sports skills in every human being.

INDIA AT THE OLYMPICS
India first participated at the Olympic Games in 1900, with an athlete (Norman
Pritchard) winning two medals in athletics.
The nation first sent a team to the Summer Olympic Games in 1920, and has
participated in every Summer Olympic Games ever since.
India has won a total of 20 Olympic medals. India won its first gold medal in
men's field hockey in the 1928 Olympic Games. Abhinav Bindra became the first
Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games, and India's first gold
medal since 1980, when the men's field hockey team won the gold.India is remarkable among nations for having won very few Olympic medals,
despite a population exceeding one billion, around half of them under the age of 25.
Numerous explanations have been offered for the dearth, including
poverty, malnutrition etc.
According to several informal statistics, India is the country with the lowest numberof total Olympic medals per capita (out of those countries which have won at least
one medal)
