Asian Games 2018

Korea scores in extra time of football final!

 

Still 25 minutes to go.

Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Oman can't even win medals on Asian level. That's pretty bad.

Not true.

well this is the end for Iran. 20-20-22 ! a sad finish since we lost the basketball final once again. that was the last chance for our golden generation we had a 16pts lead in middle of 2nd quarter but all of a sudden they stopped playing and all Chinese players became Stephen Curry and scored back to back 3s.

 

volleyball won the gold easily without dropping a single set.

[MHSN 3,813]

That was my prediction before the Games.

Overall outstanding performance by India .....we beat the best ever Asian games tally by 4 medals ( 65 to 69 ) ,( incidentally I had predicted close to 75 but the boxers let us down on total but still close ) equalled the best gold medal tally set in 1951, we had a outstanding commonwealth . But now its time to look at olympics , 2 years away and things will  change but still time to reflect on possibilities 

 

Highlights and positives from this season 

 

Shooting - this was an awesome performance by an extremely young and talented team ...........  They almost did better than super power China ( worlds super- eminent shooting nations ) in medal total .....The team is also extremely young in most part so in two years may knock of the rough edges and maybe do close to  China in overall medals shooting     ( China  normally win 7-8 medals in shooting in Olympics ) ....I think with focus and attention this side can win dare I say it at least 3-5 medals at olympics with attention , some mental conditioning .... I seriously find it shocking when people say India did not do well in shooting in Asian Games

 

Wrestling - Vinesh was really brilliant ...she demolished the field in what was possibly the toughest category in the asians games - Womens 48 . If the olympics she would be a shooin for medal at least ........ Bajrang was world class also but not in the same league according to me, Unfortunately none of the others were world class, sakshi was close to silver incidentally but no one was truely world class  ........ so I would rate this 1-2 possibility for the olympics 

 

Boxing - Well Amit Phangal defeated world no 1 again in a brutal weight category so he has  the credentials now , vikas is exasperating but maybe he will focus and could be a medal hope , he lost here more due to an injury ...................  Incidentally we have a whole flush of young women world champions ( 2 gold , 3 silver )  so definately will hope for at least one of them to be world class by the 2020 ..... so medals possibly 0-2 

 

Badminton - 2 singles medals both in woman - almost surely 1 medal at the olympics , if the mercurial srikanth shows consistency it could be 1-2 

 

Weightlifting - Mirakhom with a world championship gold and a one 196 weight in the lowest weight category is  a medal contendor so maybe 0-1

 

Atheletics - Neeraj currently world class , Hima can improve to a world class level , maybe an Indian atheletics medal 0-1 

 

 

Recurve archery and hockey have promised much but have underwhelmed , India did wonderfully in tt but too early to say , aging tennis stars in doubles so nothing there
