Guys, I've been thinking that it would be a lot of fun if we could watch the Olympics together, at least people living in the same cities. What do you guys think? :)

 

I'm a resident of Mumbai, @People in Mumbai: do you know of any place where there is a projector-screen arrangement which we could rent out for the duration of the Olympics? :bounce:

Zouk Bar & Grill in Andheri (E) arranges for football match screenings. If there are good no. of people, you could get in touch with them and ask for the same.

I wish I was there. Would have loved to join. Cheers!

We are seeing very good result in shooting, Armed forces played a big role in creating a poll of good shooters in India. I think Army can easily repeat their shooting success in Equestrian, Canoeing,

Rarely and after ages, Indian federations have started giving much required importance to discipline in sports! Otherwise it has always been a 'chalta hai' approach. Let's appreciate the change and take pride in this systematic approach.

Talking about class act, Australia took no time in ruling out likes of Nick Kyrgios and their OLYMPIC CHAMPION Michael Diamond on disciplinary grounds. Just how it sets a right precedence for other / future athletes. Hence, omission of both Gurbaz and Rani is a welcome for me.

 

With the high handedness which Hockey India president Batra has shown in the past, we never know if it was real indiscipline or was it one man's opinion ( it was based on report by Jude Felix). Sardara also has a serious charges levelled against him but he has been pardoned.

 

I appreciate that they have brought importance to the discipline but that does not mean that all their selections are perfect and should not be criticised.

 

The likes of Akashdeep , Daneesh and Uthappa cannot trap the ball properly. There is better talent available in India.

I just saw the release of the names for athletics released by the AFI 

 

It shows 6 names not including nirmala and Anas or tintu for each of the relays ......................so our number may go up by 2 , but manish rawat has been selected for the 20 km walk but not the 50 km walk so we may have a reduction of 1 person in the walks and an increase of 3 in the relays  ...so we may end up with 122 and not 120 ..........

Thanks Vaibhav for the suggestion. I had talked with Zouk regarding the euros but they ask for a minimum guarantee of 50 people which seems difficult to manage. I know of a private terrace in Versova but that may turn out to be expensive as well :mumble: Have put in a word though :fingers:

You could plan something in Hyderabad! If there are 10-15 people, it would be worth the effort! :d

I personally think making a goalkeeper the captain at the olympics is a mistake, here's why:

 

During the last friendly tournament in Valencia in match vs Argentina an indian player was shown a yellow card, but the umpires seemed to have problems communicating it (it was really strange match for them) and indian players didn't understood well who was being shown the card and as a result none of them went out of the pitch. 2 or so minutes later the umpires realized that the player was still in the pitch, told him to go out and also showed another yellow to the captain of the team (captain takes responsability for these situations).

 

Sreejesh didn't play that day, Sardar did and was captain. Now imagine if this happens in Rio while India (like all other teams) decided to take only one goalkeeper...

Even I have mixed feeling about it. Most likely, HI decided to unburden Sardar from captaincy to allow him more freedom and gave captaincy to long time VC, Sreejesh. I doubt they gave any importance to this incident. Honestly, I think if in Olympics, communication between players and referees would be better and such a situation would not arise.

Can you please share the link to the release. I think Nirmala and Anas have to be included in relay teams. We can exclude Tintu from relay team at present and then substitute her for one of the other athletes at the time of races but don't see any logic behind doing so (except increasing strength of the squad by 1).

Nitin not sure the Rio athletics squad has been announced, it's just the update on the WIKI, that changes everyday, I don't see the squad in AFI site.

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
