Thailand Performs Poorly in London Olympics

Thailand has missed its London Olympics medals target set earlier, and there should be a review of the performance of the Thai national athletes in the London Olympics to ensure better preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, according to a senior government sports official.

Permanent Secretary for Tourism and Sports Suwat Sidthilaw said Thailand targeted gaining at least two gold medals from the Olympics but missed the goal due to various factors.

A meeting to review the performance of the athletes is needed as in many sports, Thai squads narrowly missed gaining gold and bronze medals in taekwando, weightlifting and boxing, he said.

He said sports Science is now playing important role in sports. Minister of Tourism and Sports Chumpol Silapa-archa and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra agreed to apply more sports sciences in building up the performance of athletes.

Thailand won one silver medal from 58kg weightlifter Pimsiri Sirikaew and a bronze medal from Chanatip Sonkham in the women's taekwondo under-49kg category.

Thai boxer Kaeo Pongprayoon secured at least a bronze medal and was to fight David Ayrapetyan from Russia in semifinal round of the light-flyweight category Friday night.

Suwat said it was proposed that higher financial allocations for programs to prepare Thai Olympians would be more effective to drive performance of Thai athletes rather than giving rewards after they won the medals.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
