Sonyliv will have all the sports simultaneously on different streams but on TV they will toggle between sports.
yeah...now sony liv has started football streaming of GBR vs Chile
some where i read that sony liv will be having 20 live streams from Olympics at a time which is great news for us.....from these live streams mostly indian events will be telecasted on TV
its great that if we want to see some thing of important and interest to us (other than indian events) atleast we have opiton on sony liv
24th July is D-Day. Make or Break for the nation!!
yeah...1st sporting day is very crucial and as was the case in rio....
it will set the tone with 4 medal chances in weightlifting, shooting (men and women) and mixed archery
But one good thing with this Olympics is we have medal chances on other days also with most crucial day on 27th when both air rifle and air pistol mixed team events are scheduled !!!
Not possible for Sumit Nagal- Sania Mirza in mixed doubles. They are way behind in rankings. AITA trying for Men's doubles qualifications by pairing in Sumit Nagal with Rohan Bopanna(As ITA giving preference to singles rankings in qualifications). And there in turn Rohan Bopanna pairing in with Sania Mirza in mixed doubles(Probably India's best shot at medals in Tennis).
Bopanna pairing with Sania will be great news for India....last time they narrowly missed medal !!!
With just 10 days to go ……. I am planning to do a daily post on Olympics.
What’s Indias Squad looking like 120 Sportspeople are going to The Olympics. Highlights of this squad
·This is the biggest Indian squad going to the Olympics – Rio was the largest with 117
·This is the squad where we are participating in the largest number ofsports – 18 ( the earlier record was 15 again in Rio ). Tokyo olympics has 33 sports . so we have 18/33
·The first time participation sport is fencing . Bhavani Devi is our sole representative
·The very first woman sailor representing India at the Olympics. we have Nethra participating in laser radial
India has been a underperformeramongst the nations till now , in the 1980s we got one medal in 3 olympics , in the 90s we got again 1 medal in two Olympics , in the 2000s this improved to close to 2 medals per Olympics , the 2010s we saw an uptick with an average of 4 medals per Olympics. So the question is how will we do in Tokyo . I personally believe this is the best team we ever have had by far.We have medal chances in 8 of the 18 sports we will compete in namely – archery,athletics , badminton , boxing , hockey, shooting , weightlifting , wrestling. I will post once a day for the next 8 days looking at each sport and then a day before Olympics start try tolook at the likely medal tally.
Nice thing....your posting for next 8 days will also act as count down to real action at tokyo olympics !!!
My prediction of india medals at tokyo Olympics event wise is as under (considering the experience at rio am predicting on realistic approach):
Archery
0 medals
Deepika may be in tremendous form in world cups but there were no korean, chinese taipei and chinese archers at the world cups....also time after time we have seen her faltering at the crucial time in Olympics
Shooting
2 medals
India might have topped many world cups leading into olympics...but world cup at crotia should be eye opener as we have won 3 (olympic events) medals that too agaiin with out shooters from china, korea and japan.
2 medals am expecting from the events where saurabh choudhary is partcipating (individaul and mixed) as he is one shooter who was consistent and more composed.
Boxing
2 medals
Am expecting one from amit panghal and another from women boxers mary/lovlina/simranjeet
Weightlifting
1 medal
From Mirabhai....she hjust has to complete one valid lift in both snatch and clean & jerk....in olympics we never had this luxury...most likely she will win silver
Wrestling
2 medals
One from vinesha and another from either bajrang/ravi dahiya...... bajrang has to be at his best as his weight category is most competitive one
Badminton
1 medal
One from Sindhu...am giving it to her considering her big match play and no fans at olympics which would help her against yamaguchi.... most likely bronze as i don't see her overcoming Tai Tzu ying in semis
Hockey
0 medals
True to world ranking India mens team might finish at 4...it all depends on who they face in quarters
Athletics
0 medals
I would love to have neeraj winning medal but considering long lay off from injury and minimum competitive experience he will find it difficult and might finish at 4th position again narrowly missing medal in athletics at olympics
I know it will be costly affair... the packages you have referred are Tourism packages....
Mostly for olympics it may be on same lines... it depends on accomodation which may be more costly during olympics
Still am giving thought about as i want to experience olympics atmosphere and also am not sure when India is going to host olympics
Btw does anyone have idea of getting tickets for olympics in India?
In website it is mentioned Fanatic Sports is authroised ticket seller in India for tokyo olympics....but they are not showing any thing on their website
While we have seen improvements in Shooting, Wrestling and Boxing; the Badminton team seems to have lost steam just before the Olympics.
Truely..... with the way things are going the badminton medal in last 2 olympics needs to be covered up by one of the Athletics / Archery / Hockey / TT
Most mysterious is Srikanth case... he has reached World no.1 after Rio olympics and now he is struggling in every tournament...... is he still injured?
It seems we can have slight medal hopes only on Sindhu and Sai praneeth
Can we watch multiple sports, I guess watching multiple sports during the event television maybe the best option, anyway will think about it
I had watched last 6 olympics on TV......and as you said we have the advantage of watching multiple sports at a time
But this time am thinking of experiencing the olympics from live audience point of view.... i think if we plan for only indian events there may not be multiple events at same time as shooting is in the beginning and wrestling is in the end....... badminton and boxing events are in between
Anyway we will be having Mobiles to watch live streaming
Posted
Btw in mixed team can korea place more than one team as most likely in womens and mens section they will be in top 4?
Now it upto Atanu to good get ranking in individual so that our mixed team can get good seeding and avoid koreans before Semis.
