I was going to say that to @Arsalan .. this is a common misconception among pakistani posters that India sent a big contingent just to show off... well these guys qualified the criteria...It is unfair to say India only won 2 medals and paint it as if we were only slightly better than Pakistan. Nothing could be further from the truth! We had a team of 120 athletes and all of them qualified on merit, Pakistan had 0. We also came close of winning quite a few medals. I mean you get no medal for both coming 4th and not qualifying, that does not mean both suck equally. Of course we have a lot of room for improvement but we were not very far from getting a respectable tally. There were a lot of near misses.
of course you want bigger percent to convert into medals, but you cant stop an athlete from going to olympics if he/she has met the criteria.. (if you can afford).
