L’Inde, micropuissance sportive

IRIS - Thu, 25/07/2024 - 11:21

Les performances sportives indiennes n’ont pas vraiment marqué les précédentes éditions des Jeux olympiques. Déconsidérée par l’État, associée à la pauvreté, et fortement impactée par le système des castes, la pratique du sport en Inde – et notamment de haut niveau – est défavorisée par ce contexte. En dépit de cela, l’Inde se porte candidate pour organiser les Jeux olympiques de 2036. Narendra Modi l’avait signifié à l’occasion de la cérémonie d’ouverture de la 141e Session du Comité international olympique (CIO) à Mumbai en octobre 2023, soulignant l’enthousiasme national « à l’idée d’organiser des Jeux olympiques. » Le pays souhaite ainsi s’affirmer sur la scène sportive internationale, notamment afin de concurrencer son voisin chinois, qui brille aux JO. Pour ce faire, l’Inde devra fournir des efforts considérables, à commencer par l’établissement d’un système de détection de jeunes talents.
