Valarivan  with a pretty commanding win in women’s air rifle. She led from the first few shots. Quite impressive shooting. 
 

Tucker  starting to become accustomed to silver. She got a silver medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics, and now one at the University Games

I hate my country, again the state TV cut to “competitive video gaming”

 

Btw, they played Indonesian local folksong Ayo Mama during the Indonesian team march

At least you still have the Universiade on television. The only sports on the TV in Manila is mostly men’s basketball and women’s volleyball

FISU has total participation around 6,500 athletes for these Games. It would be the smallest attendance since 1999. However, it is worth contextualizing that number with the double postponement, shaky trust (internationally) in the domestic health situation, and general global financial situation. 
 

Edit: I believe this may also be the lowest number of nations in attendance since 1997.

It could also be because of the crowded sporting calendar. Fencing and swimming are scheduled just after the start of their world championships. Athletics takes place just two weeks before the start of the worlds in Budapest.

Our best performance is 5 medals including 1G. I think 3G and 15+ medals will be good at these games

Elavenil has been really struggling in domestic front or say there is just too much competition here so she's not in any WC or Asian Games squad. However she's one of the better shooters in final match score in intl tournaments but she has to make it to top 3 in domestic trials

2nd gold already best performance  Can we win 5G

Deswal  really crumbling on those elimination shots. No nation has earned two medals in a single event yet.
