Why Indian Olympic Association's players are so poor in Olympic?

The Indian Olympic Association sent the nation's largest ever delegation (a total of 120 athletes; 37 larger than their previous record of 83 athletes in 2012) in the history of Indian Olympics.

The country was expected to bring home more than 15 Gold Medals etc.  this time, according to the officials of Indian Olympic Association. But ironically, out of 120 athletes, only two athletes

(1) Sakshi Malik take bronze at the 58kg women's wrestling category and

(2) P.V. Sindhu has won the silver medal at the women's Singles Badminton competition,

overall India have managed 67 rank to win 1 bronze and 1 silver, 2 medals only.

Olympic medallist P.V. Sindhu and Sakshi Malik made the country proud.

Most of other athletes have either failed to qualify in early rounds, others have come close to winning medal, but still fell short.

India's dismal performance comes as a surprise for some since the country has more than 1.3 billion people and tens of millions of sports fans, NBC Washington reported. However, India's citizens don't understand the rules and can't relate to most Olympic sports, an Indian newspaper sportswriter told NBC Washington.

South Korea, (a country smaller than Uttar Pradesh) of only 50 million people, consistently ranks ahead of India because almost every Korean knows what the Olympic Games are and has a chance to attend a high school, according to Gm. Jimmy R. Jagtiani, Father of Taekwondo in India.

High poverty levels aren't a sufficient reason either, seeing as other countries with low levels of per-capita income, such as Kenya and  Jamaica, consistently fare better, Jagtiani added.

It is extremely embarrassing for the athletes and the nation's pride. With a country of second largest populations, it is really sad that India underachieves every time in the Olympics.

Sporting associations itself are no strangers to scandals.

Mr. Suresh Kalmadi,  the than President of IOA was sacked from the IOA on account of Multi crore scandals in Common Wealth Games, 2010.  This practice is still not far behind till date.

In 2012, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was suspended from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for electing leaders with pending criminal charges, forcing Indian athletes to compete at the Sochi Winter Games under the IOC flag instead of the Indian banner. CNBC's calls and emails to the IOA went unanswered.

Early this year, a National Sports Ethics Commission Bill was introduced in the parliament in an attempt to order to improve the overall integrity of sporting culture.

So far, it's disgraced to see what Indian Olympic Association achieves in the last three Olympic Games are falling:-
