Tokyo Olympics 2020 has been our best performance so far but looking to size of our country & population of 135 crores, we cannot be satisfied or very happy and should start working for next Olympics right now. We claim to have highest youth population in the world. Our future achievements should have some relation to it. Government of India & Public should get serious about sports. Adequate funding & nationwide infrastructure should be provided by GOI and the Private Sector should also step in. A clear strategy aiming at atleast double digit Gold and Number 5 ranking should be put in place and made public. Year wise progress made should also be made public
