and coming to commonwealth games 2018 

 

 

India( 26-20-20 )  did defeat Canada( 15-40-27 )  by a huge margin 

 

Pakistan incidentally 1-0-4

 

 

just proves my point

:AFG does not compete anymore.

 

Wouldn't India be considered a bigger fail? 28 medals all time for the second most populous nation is pretty embarrassing imo.

:AFG participated in the last edition.

Maybe if you say second most populous country. But being the second most populous country thrust into poverty with no basic life amenities is more important. Sports doesn't form a priority when putting food to the tables and growing a depleted nation is considered. Add to that a  nation which is democratic in nature excluding 5-6 yrs having 30 or more individual power centers known as stated. Also the fact that India doesn't allow dual citizenship, hence not buying any athletes from outside or not allowing Indian origin athletes to compete without citizenship. 

 

 

Comparing India and Pakistan is a joke. If you have to compare them you have to do it in Asian perspective. India has always been improving in most of the sports in contrast Pakistan is facing major problems financially.

Sports performance is directly proportional to economic performance. Pakistan's per capita GDP (PPP) was better than India's from independence till early 2000s when India surged ahead. This reflected at the sports performance as well comparatively. Pakistan were world beaters in cricket, squash and hockey. Now the state of Pakistani sports is dismal and abject

Nowhere the trend can be clearly seen in India vs Pakistan H2H ODI wins where the table is given below

Decade India Pakistan No Result
1978-1980 1 2 0
1981-1990 9 20 2
1991-2000 19 30 2
2001-2010 17 17  
2011-2019 9 4  
Overall 55 73 4

 

In fact, in the last 14 ODI matches India has won 10 of those

Looks like :MDV can finally win a medal in table tennis. 

The medal table will look much even this time around. :BHU can win 5-6 golds in Taekwondo. 

 

Suprised to see Kabaddi left out.

I haven’t seen a single article besides this, that indicates these games will actually take place. No official website, no webcast info, no team announcements, nothing.

The official website. 

 

 

BTW why Afghanistan is not a part of it? 

May have something to do with the Taliban controlling about 60-75% of the country currently. Not worth the risk. I think the Afghan government will fall within the next 2 years. Tokyo 2020 could very well be the last time we see Afghan women for awhile. Of course this is all assuming the Taliban advances as quickly as they have been, and that the ANA continues to weaken and retreat.

That website qualifies as “something is better than nothing” :p

My guess, players are largely based outside the country, or based in the few big cities the government still controls.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
