While the medal count is impressive, I wish our sports authorities would focus more on developing infrastructure for rowing in India. Most medals are coming from experienced athletes - need to nurture young talent too.

Why isn't this getting more media coverage? Our athletes are performing brilliantly but all news channels are busy with politics. At least DD Sports should show highlights of these events prime time!
