I read somewhere he was brought in by the Army to give a competition to Rawat in Mumbai Marathon so that the Armyman Rawat can qualify.
He was instructed to pace the first 30km so that Rawat gets the run and motivation for the Olympic Qualification timming.
However Gopi found the distance comfortable and pushed forward 12 more km to surprise everybody and finished just after Rawat and surprisingly under the OQT.
I would like to stay positive today and expect atleast 30% of the Indian population who watched a badminton match after so many time or for the first time even will keep track of our shuttlers. Even if that happens it will be a huge boost.
Somehow last olympics we got lucky medals in shooting from Vijay Kumar , Gagan narang was bit expected.... This time only jitu rai was prospect and he failed.... This is the result even in World shooting championship where India get mostly 1 or no medals... so expected but those who hardly follow shooting and expecting miracles will consider this as a failure...
