What are everyone's final predictions for our medal tally? 

1 gold 2 silver 3 bronze is my prediction...

With Neeraj, Nikhat, Sat-Chi.. the favourites to medal.

I will give my sport-wise predictions

Boxing (1S, 1B)
I expect 2 medals given that all of our boxers have the pedigree to win medals. Obviously, Nikhat would be the best bet. I feel the other medal can come from Lovlina/Nishant. 

Wrestling (1B)

I am hoping for a medal from Antim Panghal. She has also got a good draw to win a medal. Hoping others also perform well, especially Vinesh.

Badminton (1S)
Sat-Chi are obviously very big medal favourites. We have won a medal in badminton in either Olympics/World Champs continuously since 2012. Hoping this continues. (I think only China one of Japan/Korea have done the same) Lakshya and Sindhu can also surprise. 

Athletics (1G)

Neeraj is the only realistic medal contender. And I have tremendous trust in his consistency despite recent injuries. Hoping Sable and the 4*400m relay teams also reach the final 8.

Shooting (1S 1B)
Everybody in our rifle and pistol squad can deliver a medal. Just hope they all don't buckle under pressure. I feel 50m rifle three positions (both men and women) and both mixed team events are our best bet for medals. 

Others(1S/1B)
Meerabai Chanu can easily win a medal if she is near her best and not injured. Archery also has good prospects especially if Dheeraj Bommadevara performs well. Men's hockey can also win a medal. They were in good form in the last two pro leagues though this year has not went well. 


Overall - 1G, 3S, 3B - 8 medals.

I'm also pretty much on the same page, but less optimistic about our chances in shooting. Also, I was big on Lovlina's chances in boxing but she has a difficult draw in the QF.

I have a strong feeling that we will do better than Tokyo

Did the boxing seeds come out? Can you share the boxing seeds?

Never mind found it. Lovlina is facing Li Qian in the Quarterfinals. I would say chances of medals are near 0 because of that

Lovlina did beat Li Qian in the world championship in Delhi on her way to the gold medal... And recently lost on a 2-3 split decision against her at the Czech Republic Grand Prix. So, maybe there is some hope after all 🤞

Yeah! Chen at the last Olympics was also probably a superior opponent. But she defeated her and boxed very tactically. Hope she is able to replicate that.
