Well, if u see London Olympics only on the no. of medals we have won than it's certainly disappointing, i expected at least 1 more medal from boxing, 2 more medals from shooting, 1 medal from archery, 1 medal from tennis, that means we are at least 4 medal short of what we should have been.
but, if u see the change in perception & mindset of Indian athletes & population at large, i can assure u that London Olympics have bring a tectonic shift. Now the Indian Olympians are not satisfied with just participating they really want to win medals, look at the face of Vijender, he surely was disappointed that he could not win a medal even though he reached QF's of the category, similarly the archers, tennis men & women, etc. Not only this the medal winners are also not satisfied with the color of there medal, Mary said sorry for not winning gold even though her bronze medal win was a true accomplishment in itself.
& just see the change in mindset of Indian population, once the population who got satisfied for 1 bronze is not even satisfied with 4 medals!!! They are making the medal winners a heroes on the lines of cricket players. So yes there is certainly a change, don't look at the medals tally, b'coz i m sure now in 2016 & in future we will have exponential growth in the medal tally.
+ what these medal wins will bring:
Gagan Narang has a shooting academy where we will get many more narangs in the future ( so 1 medal winner narang will bring 100 more in olympics)
Mary will open a bigger boxing academy in Manipur ( so if we are getting men boxing team from bhivani than we will get future women boxing teams from Manipur)
Saina Nehwal has opened the floodgates for lots & lots of people who aspire to take up badminton as a career.
Vijay Kumar has shown that a person from a humble background can also bring olympic medals.
+ Since all the four medal winners are associated with Olympic Gold Quest, u can expect many more OGQ's to be formed in India in the near future, & the original OGQ will be now much bigger & better.
