The Indian contingent for London Olympics got a huge cheer when they walked into the Olympic Park Friday night during the opening ceremony of the London Games 2012.
The 81-strong Indian contingent was led by wrestler Sushil Kumar, a bronze medallist in the 2008 Beijing Games. Sushil Kumar was the flag bearer for the Indian contingent and did it gracefully...
It was a smartly dressed Indian contingent. The men wore yellow safas, navy blue blazers, cream-coloured trousers, off-white shirts and ties, and the women were dressed in elegant sarees.
Indians will take part in 13 disciplines. Four years ago, India won three medals, gold for shooter Abhinav Bindra and bronze medals for Sushil and boxer Vijender Singh.
The Indian contingent at the Olympics has got itself drawn into a controversy after a mysterious woman in red shirt and blue jean was found to be marching along with them during the Opening ceremony on Saturday. The mysterious woman was identified later to be Madhura Honey a selected dancer from Bangalore who got into the parade unnoticed.
