In womens 25m pistol we have rahi sarnobat and manu bhaker....but 10m is manu's strong point...rahi is world cup gold medalist
In 50m 3 pos women we have anjum mudgil and tejaswini....in mens we have aiswarya singh and sanjeev rajput...out of all these aiswarya singh looks promising
We may expect some good shooting from rahi and aiswarya.....but considering the way things are going am keeping lower expectations even in mixed team events
One more tough loss....Sathiyan Gnanasekaran lost in 2nd round to a lower ranked hong kong player in Table tennis....but the opponent seems to have some chinese background as he was playing too good
In shooting it seems like we are continuing from where were at Rio.......after rio there were lot of youngsters in indian shooting performing exceedingly well
But the pressure of Olympics and lack of experience is getting over them
With lot of potential but nothing to show as of now in terms of medals
Hopefully on 27th in mixed team events they will raise to occasion...am pinning hopes on that day
It seems that Manu Bhaker has equipment malfunctioning during qualification round resulting in loss of time....still she shot good score and finished in 12th
Already we are having tough draws and competition and adding to them these type of issues
With the way things are going indian might find difficulty in getting the medal in mixed team air pistol event also
If you consider the qualifications scores in both mens and womens section china has 2 pairs who are in top 8, ukraine has also one pair in top 8 followed closely by Iran, ROC and India
So I feel with the china in competition the medal is not taken for granted......same may be the case in 10m Air rifle mixed team event also
Disappointing performance of the day surely goes to Sai. Though our shooters should have done better but archery n shooting are most unpredictable, hence they get the benefit on their performances.
Hope Sindhu takes cue from sai performance and comes out firing on all cylinders straight away....as she has decent hongkong opponent in round robin matches to overcome
Even a blip like sai will keep completely out of olympics
not such good news from shooting...both elavenil and apurvi did not qualified to finals
if you observe 2 koreans and one chinese reached finals
considering india performance at last world cup where korean and chinese shooters were not there, we have to keep our expectations realistic in shooting
Now its up to saurabh and abhishek to give good news !!!
In Archery mens team is big time disappointment and particularly atanu das....deepika did decent job
But some how our archery team finda way to finish ninth place in events where we have medal chances (i.e. womens individaul, mixed team and mens team) resulting in QF draw against korea....the only way we could have got archery medal is avoiding koreans before semis...
Most surprising is Atnau finishing behind praveen jadhav resulting in breakup of atanu-deepika combination
As some one said its either gold or no medal in archery....i hope they raises their level from now onwards
