It is an excellent idea for identifying prospective Olympic medal winner. We may consider advertising the same in local media a week befor for enhanced participation.

More publicity and advertising efforts are needed from the event managers to find out the talents from villages/tahseel/district level. Present efforts put by the event management company seems to be inadequate in this regard. After all the aim of the events is to find out the sprinters of Ussain Bolt level. Do with such hurried action can be find out the hidden talent like Ussain Bolt?
please share the links such that more and more people can register at http://www.thefastestindian.in let us do our bit such that more people can get to know about the event
