Dolby 712 Posted August 12, 2016 #4134 Share Posted August 12, 2016 As expected, we lose our women's hockey match against United States but surprisingly we are not out of race for QF. We can qualify for QF by simply causing the biggest upset of this Olympics and our women's team's history and defeat Argentina. Now off to watch Chak De to prepare for the match.

You cant help it...Expectations are bound to be there...WE are a medal starved nation... Olympics previously meant government officials, netas and babus going on a paid vacation.. then slowly the results started coming...Now we our excepting out best performance ever, and by some decisive margins... Lots of changes are coming together...For the first time im seeing a larger interest of the people and the media on Indian olympic hopes.... So, the outburst is understandable.... federations are slowly making efforts to manage their affairs better....ppl are realizing the need for sport science... Government is realising the need for a long term planning and execution... But there's one thing Im sure of....Even if we surpass our London tally or not, Indian sports would be the ultimate winner... Say we dont surpass out London tally....the government will ask questions of the federations, which will improve accountability... Say, we do surpass our London tally - lot of media coverage, increased following and viewership, which means greater corporate participation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
