We never got any medals in archery in Olympics.. So no step backward as such... While woman team is very strong and is capable of a medal 

You win, you loose, that's the beauty of sport, the un-acceptable part seems to be the strategic error by coaches and management,how come someone keep shooting low in both matches in all rounds, not a single 10's and very few 9's, be picked on this form, especially after the early exit against Brazil. Out of 18 arrows what would be his average?

India at the AIBA qualifiers 

 

49 kgs - Devendro seeded 4th gets a bye to the round of 16 

52 kgs - Gaurav Bindhuri fights antonia vargas of USA ( will be tough ) on 17th for the round of 64 

56 kgs - no entry as shiva has qualified 

60 kgs - dheeraj wins first bout against guatemalan boxer and enters round of 32 has extremely tough fight with delgado ( no 1 seed from mexico ) on the 18th afternoon

64 kgs - Manoj fights de la rosa of puerto rico on 17th afternoon and I expect him to win but if he does  he faces second seed aly mohd of egypt in the round of 32 

69 kgs mandeep jangra fights esp boxer for round of 64 .( today ) ..expect jangra to win 

75 kgs - Vikas seeded 2nd - is given bye to reach round of 32 on 20th 

81 sumit sangwan faces TTO boxer in round of 64  tomorrow exp him to win but if he wins  he faces 8th seeded colombian on 19th  - I still feel sumit can win but tough fight

91  Amritpreet singh faces KOS boxer in round of 32 and then is likely to face tough US boxer if he wins in the round of 16 

 91+ Satish kumar faces TGA boxer on 17th for round of 32 and if he makes it through as I expect faces tough IRL boxer in round of 16 

 

Really tough ....it is enormous competition and India has no real bout experience due to bad NOC issues ...... I expect 2-3 boxers to make it through and that is on the high side ....best bets obviously Sumit , Vikas , Devendro , Satish .................. all are very experienced and hence can be tough ...mandeep has a better draw so has a chance 

 

One major issue for devendro and satish is that there is only 2 quotas for the 49 kgs and devendro has to reach final and satish has to win to qualify as there is only 1 quota for 91+  .....again very tough  ....... I think there are more vacancies in the professional rankings / bouts only vikas is eligible ................... all round keep your expectations low for boxing qualification is my thought ......................

Hockey

 

India enters the finals of the Champions Trophy 2016. :champion:

 

Belgium - Great Britain draws 3 - 3. Nerve racking match in the last quarter . Great Britain were trailing 1 - 3 and almost won the game to knock India out from playing the gold medal match . Great Britain scored twice in the penultimate 2 minutes of the game and looked like scoring another in the last minute.

Great Britain scored 2 goals in dying moments to draw their match against Belgium. This sent Indian team into the finals against Australia. This is our first ever final appearance in Champions Trophy. 

 

Also, this is our fourth major medal in 2 years. CWG Silver, Asian Games Gold, HWL Bronze and now Champions Trophy. Plus Silver and Bronze at Azlan Shah. :champion:

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
