India - Population: 1.22 billion, 83 athletes & 6 Medals

The 2012 Summer Olympics, London, came to an end on 12 August 2012. Indian Olympic Association sent 83 athletes to participate in 13 different sports segments. Given the success we had tasted in the Beijing Olympics and in the recently held Commonwealth games, the expectations from Indian participants were very high. However, we ended with only six medal haul.
