In a cricket obsessed nation like ours where Indian Premier League grabs all the eye-balls and media attention even before it's start, courtesy the controversies and tweets emerging on a day-to-day basis we have actually forgotten to cover an ongoing international sporting event called the winter Olympics.
The 21st winter Olympics are currently being held in Vancouver,British Columbia and Canada and includes 15 winter sports and 82 teams from around the world are participating in the Olympics and most astonishing fact is that even the Indian contingent is part of the event ,still no Media coverage of the event .They Media is highly content with covering cricket and what Mr Lalit Modi is tweeting and what new controversy is being raged about IPL by Shiv Sena and MNS.
Our Media is more interested in providing all-round coverage of IPL from cheer girls to new brand ambassadors of IPL teams as we hardly find any pictures ,articles,coverage or visual footages of the Olympics in newspapers and news channels.
The most heartening part is that the media is depriving the people from the newsworthy information about and international sporting event .Even the players who are participating in the event would be disheartened by the absence of the coverage and support from the people of their country.As most people of the country do not know about the event or the players.
So at the end i sincerely request all the media organisations to please cover the event for all sports lovers including me ,so that we get an exposure to interesting winter sports like Alpine Skiing ,Curling,Luge and many more .And most importantly to gather support ,love and fan following for players who despite all odds participate in the event .
All my best wishes Ski athletes Tashi Lundup and Ski athletes Tashi Lundup and Luger Shiva Keshavan and guys hope u rock and get medals for us .
