First there were no uniforms, then too many clothes that weren’t uniform enough and then some fab uniforms that weren’t Made in India. Amidst all this conflicting reports regarding the Indian Winter Olympic team’s outfits, one big factor slipped by almost unnoticed. There was an Indian Winter Olympics team! Winter Olympics!
And for the first time, the officials didn’t outnumber the players 5:1.
For a country where a significant percentage of the population has barely seen < 20 deg C temperatures, much less snow, the fact that we had two skiers and a luge contestant was a huge deal. Throw in the fact that sports really isn’t our cup of chai, I think it is nothing short of phenomenal that we actually have two blokes that can ski!
