England was unlucky to miss 59 golds. That is a reason why we were able to get on 2nd spot.

We still need to improve. I am not saying about ranking. I am saying about participation. We are still not participating in few of events like cycling, swimming and lawnball.

I do agree that we have a long long way to go but whatever we have achieved cannot be undermined by attributing all of it to 'luck'.

For example, anybody who saw Saina Nehwal's gold medal contest with the Malaysian player, knows how important a factor 'luck' was in her win when she won many points when the shuttle just rolled over the netr into her opponent's court.

But still she could not have won had she not fought her way back into the game starting the last points of the second game.
