Seriously think these guys need a strong international training to be more effective for next CWG n AG. Olympics medal is though out of reach qualifying with good timing n doing well should be the stepping stone for next CWG n AG.

There is a lot of improvement in the swimming and diving teams... I just hope they can participate in Asian Championships and world championships... Bcoz we don't send them to compete with the best.... And India relies on individual talent... Who knows one day we could get a  great young diver... Bcoz not everyone can be a sportsman but that sportsman can come from anywhere in any form..

Indian Archery Team Performance in Asian Games

Compound archers as always been the best bet for India. With the loss of individual events though lost the chance there very much satisfied with the performance, though heartbreak in Men's team finals, but it was fight of nerves n most exciting.

Recurve archers again disappointed with the bad performance.

We need to start from U-14 if we need medal in Olympics. Hope Khelo India will produce some top class athletes. Srihari is one of them.
