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

You get what you deserve, pathetic ranking rounds have cost us before, again have cost us here, clearly the ranking rounds are not given much importance in our country and all our athletes do poorly in ranking rounds.

In my opinion .....a great performance unlike part time fans  Non TO people I mean , who only look at medals is to so your personal best ....Manika you are a heroine to come so far , you brightened the genuine indian  sports fans ....:hatoff:

Yes it was a great performance no doubt. But her participation was marred by off the field controversies like coach not being allowed to enter the arena, refusing to get the services of the national coach, not interested to attend 50 day national workshop post the olympics.

 

In a mental game like Table Tennis, these thoughts are bound the affect the athlete

Look how badly were doing even in shooting. Only 1 qualification so far... Countries that win medals consistently talk about conversion rates of final appearances to medals.. Ours is dismal.

I am not sure what is the perception of ranking rounds by Indian coaches, but surely experienced archers must know where is the problem. The problem is mental more than anything. Deepika Kumari has been saying for years she is not mentally strong.

Even the PM Narendra Modi had asked the same question during the recent interaction

I would say unlucky in ranking rounds.

 

Considering South Korean team as the default rank 1 in ranking rounds, it was more like avoiding the ninth place.

That's what I was saying.... little bit unlucky and may be coach has a role here to look into ranking positions and give advise, otherwise we should be confident enough to beat Koreans...

 

Had we avoided Koreans in QF including Deepika, there was at least one medal for us to take

 

I hope Deepika performs up to her potential and reverse the trend of loosing to Koreans in QF.....it's now or never for Deepika

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
