Tomorrow shall be a big day in terms of medals.

Mixed team of rifle and pistol will be in action, Lovlina Borgohain will start her campaign.
And we have the pair of Satwik-Chirag to play against the British pair. Hopefully the minions do us a favour and beat the Taiwan pair, while the British pair have been eliminated and nothing to play for but lets hope Satwik-Chirag are focused

How on earth India drew Korea in quarters in all 3 key events mixed team, men's team and women's individual...

 

Today indian men's team scored 58 in 2nd round and still lost it....that's standard of Korean archery 

 

 

 

 

[Madhusudhan 12]

In Archery India lost the plot in 2 ways:

 

1. Atanu performing badly in qualification resulting in combination of Praveen and Deepika, where as atanu and Deepika were doing great as mixed team before Olympics

 

2. Knowing that Korea will top the qualification India could have avoided 8/9 , 16/17, 32/33 and 64th position so that they can face Korea only in semis... though it's not easy to do it but technically possible

 

It hurts to see the teams in half other than Korea are the teams which India was defeating earlier
