@nitinsankerI only read the table tennis preview from your end. And I must say it is not a comprehensive one.

 

You mentioned about beating Chinese opponents in the recent past. But the point here is that this is the first time that the Indian contingent is without their powerhouse West Bengal. And beating those Chinese opponents have huge contributions from them be it Sutirtha or Ayhika

 

Coming to match against Romania, Manika Batra has beaten their top ranked player thrice in their last 4 encounters. Even India's next 2 ranked players like Sreeja Akula and others are better ranked than Romanian counterparts.

 

One important aspect is the controversial choice of Manika Batra's doubles partner selection , the girl from Karnataka - Kamath

 

The team will be bolstered by the presence of their former and lucky Italian coach

 

The team will want to give a fitting tribute to the old horse and flag bearer Achanta Sharath Kamal. The team would like to play for him.

 

Why can't the boys take a cue from the girls to play bravely against China? Imagine what will be the team morale if they conquer China in the 1st round.

 

Last but not the least , Harmeet Desai is in the form of his life. We can expect the unexpected from him even if he is the only few to be playing the preliminary round.

 

Bro ...  You said my report was not comprehensive that the Chinese defeats were primarily by sutirtha and ayhika ....

 

From the world team championship 

 

 After Manika brushed aside Xiao 3-0 (11-9, 11-2, 11-4), Sreeja took down the southpaw Zhang 3-1 (11-6, 11-13, 11-6, 11-3).

Yes I was talking about the recent season.  2024..

 

Ayhika took down world no. 1 and Sreeja Akula and Manika Batra separately took down World no. 2.

 

The report was not comprehensive because it did not cover many important points including Archana Kamath's selection criteria, Coach Masimo's inclusion, Achanta Sharath Kamal's leadership role, etc.

First of all , I expressed appreciation for your review through forum like feature.

 

I said that the table tennis report didn't cover many important aspects . So not comprehensive.

 

And I said that the recent domination of Indian girls against the Chinese girls had SIGNIFICANT contribution from the West Bengal girls. 

 

In Asian Game's, Sutirtha-Ayhika defeated Chinese World No. 2 and in February Manika batra defeated Chinese World no. 1. 

 

I never disagreed with Sreeja Akula or Manika Batra's win against the Chinese opponents.

 

I understand that there is space constraint but that doesn't justify missing important points in a report.

 

Thank you.

Good day for us in terms of shooting & winning a medal but overall I would say we had a mixed day. 
 

We have lost 2 sports after Day 2  i.e Swimming & Tennis 

 

We are still active in 14 sports. 
 

We started our campaign with 110 athletes in 16 sports ( without alternates) 

 

We have lost 7 athletes today ( 2 Swimming , 2 Shooting & 3 Tennis) 

 

We still have 103 active athletes & have 1 🥉 in our Kitty. 
As of Day 2 we are 22nd on the overall Medal table .

India trails 0-1 (HT) against Argentina.

 

When we're going to learn to score penalties. It has become a perennial problem :cry:

Also :IND is playing too much aerial balls with unsuccessful trappings

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
