Like FIFA Olympic Association needs to bring in some rules for the naturalization of athletes from other countries. This is getting ridiculous. Qatar, Bahrain with all African contingent. Its not about racism, but India's 2 silvers are golds actually.
Many countries are doing this including USA, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy. There are some rules like 3 year bar during the naturalization process. As long as you have passsport and for 3 years, you have not participated for your original country, you are fine.
During the 2008 Olympic games, the U.S. hurried citizenship status for a Polish
kayaker, a Chinese table-tennis player, a triathlete from New Zealand, a
Kenyan distance runner, and an Australian equestrian, among many other.
China is a powerhouse in Table Tennis, Badminton. Players ranked between 10 to 30 in National Championship of these sports in China have zero chance of ever representing the country at international arena. But countries like USA, Canada, Australia readily give express citizenship to such players as they are still very good. Wait for 3 years and they are eligible to represent them.
Same thing for Kenya and Ethiopia distance runners. Those who are not at the top has a choice of atleast 50 countries ready to give them citizenship. They can go to Qatar, Norway, Germany, Canada.
What Qatar, Bahrain are doing now is what western countries doing for decades. There is no solution to this unless bar is increased from 3 to 5 or 6 years or a temporary stop.
I don't want to jinx them but Squah Team Events, Men's 800m,Women's 200m, women's discuss throw, women's heptathlon and all 4*400 relays(3 in total) ,I think we good chance in addition to what you said.
Actually all our Silver Medals in Athletics excluding Women Long Jump are technically Gold Medal.This includes Men 400,Women 400,Women Steeplechase,Men's 400m hurdle,women 100m have been lost to Africans naturalised in India.
