india gets the new standards of hockey stadium which was used in recent olympics...<div>looks beautiful but this turf makes me remember our horrible olympics.... hopefully that day never repeat</div>
Very nice and with Floodlights. Chandigarh already has a huge Hockey Stadium and now this one too. <br>Good Lesson for our Football Associations. Mumbai Cooperage Ground Association people should look here and learn something. <br>
<P>can someone tell why we have the game called curling inw itner olympics and what is the purpose of it.</P>
<P>guy rubbing ice withouth touching the slider ..for me the most insane sport ever played alongwtih 3 patti </P>
@harry191 Its all power play. Some sport get olympic status just because some high profile countrys are good at it.
Look at wrestling. Not many big europian countrys or USA that good at it so it gets dumped from olympics. Same with cricket.
Mostly for a sports to get olympic status ,big europian countrys and USA needs to be good at it.
<br><br>Wrestling prevailed this time and it will be in 2020 and 2024 Olympics.<br>http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/09/sports/olympics/wrestling-is-restored-to-the-olympics.html?_r=0<br><br>But yes it is in danger. Even Hockey will be in danger. Somehow they managed to defeat baseball, softball and squash this time.<br>One problem Indian Wrestlers will face next time is change in rules. Now two 3 minute rounds will be there instead of 3 rounds of 2 minutes. Last Olympics change of rules meant Indian boxers failed to get medals.<br>
