SAG Analysis

Feb 23, 2010
Its wrong to criticize when the game is going on. The game is over now and it is the right time to make analysis. South Asian Games (SAG) picturized the real situation of every South Asian nation. India, being the foreword nation clenched the first position and maintained its record. Before commenting others, it's wise to see us.

Nepal's position obviously cannot be improved while comparing it with previous years. Both luck and handwork did not support Nepal on this SAG. The lift accident brought sorrow n the very beginning which followed by the lost of medals. Nepal had the good position in football atleast in South Asian Nations, but it's bad luck led to fight against the organizing nations which took Nepal to the heavy loss. Football could have been best if it could stay a bit far from politics.

If A division league would continue without any sort of interruptions. Lack of such games reduced the practice level plus good players. More than player's weakness, politics affected football. However women's football was wonderful one unless it got defeated with India. This signified the probability of medal in Women's football in upcoming International games.

Previous gold medal winner could not perform well this time which truely disappointed the sports lover.Wushu could not be that fruitful either. News regarding 'Second International Goal' in hockey indeed was a funny one. How can we escape from the high scores like 21-0? Squash was another sorrow
where none of the hopes existed. Golf could not turn fruitful either. Nor could cricket. It was definitely bad luck for Nepal to get opponents like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. However the players ust have gained certain lesson after playing against those test playing nations.

Considering the lesson, it's necessary for them to play good next time. Last match against Pakistan must be saluted. Nepal could not escape from the conflict this time. Quarrel in the stadium must have shown the true behavior of Nepalese to those South Asian countries. Ignorance of Nepalese was shown by the upside hanging flag and the old national anthem. How can we forget the debate of the tenth day because of which Nepal had to lose a medal! Didn’t that prove that there was no good and effective management there? The case would have been compared with that of past if Binita Maharjan and Sunil Lama would not win the gold medal on the enth day.

Thanks to them who at least saved our nose by bringing the medal.Viewing from the individual's point of view SAG turned fruitful to Rajendra Bhandari, Aysha Shakya and yes! Dipak Bista for sure! Rajendra made the gossippers mum by making the historic record! Aysha managed to grab the golden medal and make her dreams fulfil and Deepak? I should not speak at all. He truely is a hero. Although Nepal won 8 golds, highest in all SAG held outside country cannot be satisfied. Only the means of medal was
through the martial arts. It was Bhandari who took the medal by running.

Where is the position of Nepal in other fields? And who is responsible for it? The question counts because only then the result next time can turn out to be fruitful. Nepal's performance in 11th SAG cannot be said satisfactory because the position fell down. It was with Afghanistan that Nepal had to go
through! What a shame! It was only 8th SAG that made Nepalese satisfied.

The efforts made by every single player must be saluted from the true Nepalese heart. I no way blame the players for the weak performance. Instead the Government, existing political parties carry all the credit for it. I blame them. Whe there exists no bright future for the players, the excitement of the players just to show gratitude towards the country brought all those gold medals. what will these players get if  tomorrow they grow disable? Is their any financial security for them?

Anil Gurung would not go out if he would be satisfied here itself. All these players is going to get
next is the little fake respect by PM or Presidents and there will end the story of these players. There exists a separate ministry Sports Ministry in Nepal, but what has it done for the sports in Nepal? 

Rajendra Bhandari brought the gold all because of his personal effort. Has Government done
anything there? How often does Nepal organize the cycling competition in Nepal? When there exists no any regularity, how can we hope for the medal through cycling? And what about swimming?

Let's not compare with India, but Nepal should be compared with Pakistan, Srilanka and Bangladesh for obvious. Bangladesh, being the organizing position got the hometown benefit. Bt what about Srilanka and Pakistan? The war in Srilanka has been recently concluded though it managed to get a good position.  Same with Pakistan as well. Has any Nepalese leaders thought for it. When the issue comes to  international games, Nepal has always been backward. Cricket or football anything could hardly turn beneficial.

It's now high time for every citizen who hopes for medal in the tally list to raise the voice for the  sportsmen. We dont want the long term project but we want the action immediately and now. Being fifth is nothing to feel proud for the sports Ministry. Ministry has to work hard to get into top three in
upcoming SAG.
