On athletics we had an injury affected year, that can happen thanks it's not 2020, we had a few NRs - Muhammad Anas, Annu Rani, Dharun, Jinson Johnson, Dutee, Tesjashwin was close, more guys doing well in 400m not really that bad after the wonderful 2018, let's keep hope, expecting good results in the world championships.

Look the problem as

per me are that the atheletes/ teams  were major hopes after 2018 have not improved at all , rather have detiorated  ...... the best teams were the 4*400 relays , neeraj , hima , dharun , toor and arpinder and not one of them have improved....... the second rung of atheletes have improved

Yeah, the performance in the Asian championship this year was below par too, injuries have not helped neeraj, Hima, Dharun and you don't come back from injury and start at your best again specially in athletics, Anas took sometime post injury to do well, again Rajiv got injured,  2nd rung Alex Anthony, Jabir, Jeevan K S, Anjali Devi, Sivpal Singh are all good expecting some to go past our best athletes records in future, Sreeshankar and Toor should do well no excuses for them, Arpinder is ok, never expected much from him. Inderjit is back again should touch 20m soon. Few months left in 2019 the last qtr, things will be much better.

Very good result in football as we draw 0-0 against Asian Champions Qatar in their own den.

2 individual golds for Esow at senior level in the Asia cup. Nice transition from Juniors, upcoming Asian championships will tell how good he is currently at Seniors.

More surprising was Ronaldo clocking 10.065 in 200m time trial, aiming to be the 1st Indian to complete the race in under 10s.

Absolutely superb, 2018 Asian Games gold went at 9.84s which is also the Asian record.

Still lots of ground to cover even at the Asian stage.
