@chauism than why china trying hard to get into cricket?.... Argue them. They know better whats cricket.... Cricket in other words is money and money is everything in this evil world.... By the way new zealand, australia, england good in olympic because their cricket and other sports are equal.... In india its all cricket and cricket and nothing else.... This is the reason we are current champions.... Our IPL been once shift to south africa. People over their cried at the last day of IPL because they wanted it to never leave south africa.... China says they will play in world cup in 2019.... i say by 2020 india will do better in olympic.... we already got more medals then we ever got. So we are improving. In CWG we left same brits behind in medals tally who are looting medals atm.... The day china do better in cricket will be the day india will do better in olympics....
@chinatoday what's wrong? Why losing temper? Cricket played by 10 full countries because its not easy to play.... There are countries who took 100 years to learn cricket. China desperate to be in cricket.... Blame them. And by the way i didnt brought cricket in this thread. It was asked by chinese user and i replied it.... Its easy to insult anyone here.... My last reply to you....

China is trying hard?? It is safe to say in China 99% of the people don't even know what cricket is or even heard of cricket.

Maybe in india cricket is where the money is but in most other places it is next to impossible to even find any decent sponsors. Why? Because really no one is going to watch it. Money always follows eyeballs not what kind of sport it is being played. If "stone paper scissors" can catch enough eyeballs money will follow that big time as well. Good thing that you brought up Chinese soccer here, China really does suck at it big time, and it is not even funny. There many jokes about Chinese men's soccer team, one of my favourite is the brand Lining's slogan is "Everything is possible" and one of its store puts "Everything is possible except Chinese men's soccer team". But soccer in China is where all the major sponsors pour their money, just because it is the single sport that has the most audiences. I can understand Indian and Pakistani's passion about cricket, but you can not force other people to enjoy it as much as you wound, and saying that people don't enjoy it just because it is difficult is utterly nonsense. There many other team sports that is more physical demanding and strategic challenging than cricket. One I can think of even has less nations to be able to play it professionally, but is still enjoys world wide audience--American football. If I am not mistaken USA is the only country that plays it, and there is not even competition outside of USA. However how many video games has been made by major game company about football and how many copies of those games have been sold world wide? Can the same said about cricket?

And comparing the money in cricket to olympics is even more absurd. For example this year the broadcasting rights IOC sold to NBC alone is $1.181 billion, and that is just for one single country. In contrast 2011 Cricket World Cup in total had broadcasting rights sold of $2 billion.

In the Olympic games, a country gets to showcase to the world the physical and mental capabilities of the best of their citizens. Whether its strength, mental calm, speed or skill etc, the rest of the world witnesses their best compete against the best of other countries. Soccer is not as multi disciplinary as the Olympics and is thus not representative of the capabilities of a specific country and their populace.

From this Olympics we can see that:
Chinese dominates badminton, table tennis and does well in a multitude of varying disciplines.
Americans dominates athletics, swimming and track.
Indians dominate bragging and sour grapes

Saina Nehwal wins a bronze by opponents injury and is labeled 'super Saina' by Indian media, as in counterpart to China's 'super Dan'. Indian are powerful braggers indeed.

1. Too much corruption means that the relatives of communist party officials and the wealthy get to make it to the national squad, while the poor Lionel Messi of China gets to farm for the rest of his life. This is a notable example of the rampant corruption hindering China's development that I speak of so often. There is little corruption in less popular sports so the selection is relatively fair and China gets to dominate in those, but not in big money sports like soccer backed by a $50 billion underground gambling industry.

2. Chinese are highly individualistic and make poor teamwork.

We are just too good in our own sports.

It is upto China to bring up the skills level of the athletes of other countries to reach a skills parity.

The Olympic committee is too scared to have Wushu enlisted as an official event

The IOC is not even interested in Wushu.

To be an Olympic sport, it must be widely practiced and one country or region does not dominate the sport. This is why sports like Modern Pentathlon(Popular only in Eastern Europe), Archery(Dominated by Korea), and Equestrian(Dominated by a few European countries) are mentioned as candidates for elimination next year.

So it is upto China to produce European and American(as in Black and White, not overseas Chinese) Wushu champions to demonstrate to the IOC that Wushu is popular worldwide and there is a skills level parity.

Indians and Indian media celebrating sania nehwal's gifted bronze due to injury of the opponent is one of the most distasteful things I've seen. Sums up Indian mentality and culture.

we invested billions in soccer.
but corruption and gambling destroyed our soccer sport. most of us have losed confident to football.
It was just too many corruption in this sport.
even the chairman of chinese football association were corrupt.
soccer is one of our biggst failure and shame...

Absurd. Boxing, Judo and Tae-kwon do are more amenable to being true combative contests and competition than Wushu can or probably will EVER be. Whenever a Wushu/Gung-fu fighter take to the mat in front of me, he invariably fights the way a boxer or a Karate-ka or a Tae-kwon do stylist would. None of that fancy stances sh1t. Do not bother to post those Youtube vids of supposedly Shaolin 'master' knocking out a boxer or some other style. This is the real world where boxing's techniques have reigned and will continue to reign supreme across cultures and time.

I saw a video about this...an agile karate guy danced around a heavier (probably heavyweight but im no expert) boxer in def. stance delivering kicks non stop. It ended with a knockout of the karate guy after a couple of minutes. Like single blow and he went down.

Ridiculous!

Dont bullshit here old man who doesnt have a credit card in the 21st century! There are millions of Kungfu / Wushu followers all over the world including usa and the vietcongs - your people. Politics play a significant part in the decision of whether the games could get enlisted. Wushu was a demonstrating event in Beijing. The event was carried out through a variety of displaying Wushu stance and the Kungfu expertise in using different weapons. There was no one-on-one fighting between athletes. Take you time to learn whatever martial arts you like, be it Karate or Taekwondo and come back here book a date and we have someone to take care of you - one on one! Have you had any insurance coverage? Dumbass!

I am a lifelong Tae-kwon do practitioner, pal. I am of the old Chon-ji school. Before that, I learned Nhu đạo (Judo) from Buddhist monks in Saigon. Then I picked up boxing while active duty in the USAF. I am probably more martial artist than you will ever be.

when this poor people score a medal they are over the moon saying super power this and shining that. when they are scoreless, they withdraw into their cricket sh#thole and talk about humanity! How pathetic!
