(iii) Olympics and International competitions have large number of medals in swimming and diving competitions, where India has little presence or fares poorly. What should be India’s approach to win more medals?
(iv) Know about prominent international swimmers and Olympic champions (like Mark Spitz, Matt Biondi, Ian Thorpe, Michael Phelps) and prominent Indian swimmers and national champions.
