Beijing, Aug 8 (PTI) A slipshod India cut a sorry figure in the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony with the female members of the contingent making it a veritable go-as-you-like with their contrasting outfits that made them look completely misfit for the occasion.

With Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore carrying the tri-colour, the contingent looked good from far, as the male members decked out in off-white sherwanis. But as they came closer, things looked hardly impressive.

The tennis duo of Sania Mirza and Sunitha Rao, attired in black trousers and practice jackets, looked completely out of sorts and the contrast was even more jarring to the eyes as going side by side was Delhi paddler Neha Aggarwal who chose a greenish saree for the occasion.

Though the generous crowd at the Bird's Nest stadium roared to greet the Indians, it was a shoddy fashion statement by the Indians.

The moment they entered the Congress President Sonia Gandhi was on her feet and waved at them and the athletes also reciprocated. PTI

the loudest appause and cheer were reserved for pakistan, north korea, the USA (surprisingly). india got the cold shoulder welcome

Seriously now. India has a horrible olympic team. We have the world's second highest population, yet we send a team of 56 to bejing. Of these, not more than 6 are expected to take medals even if maximum luck favours India.

Recently there was a thread somewhere here titled "India vs. China". Too add one, China has owned India's sweet a$$ at the olympics for ever. Their 10 year old kid gymnasts will make a joke out of India's best.........unfortunately.

Atleast they won their first individual Gold Medal now
