Vinesh played poorly . Firstly couldn't break the defence of the Belarusian whom she has pinned in their earlier meeting. Secondly herself got pinned.

 

There was so much hype with her back there in the country accompanied by on screen presence, glamour and glitz.

For a team ranked 10th, a quarterfinal place was a realistic target, and the team has done better than that. Expecting to finish 4th though

We have climbed to 7th after the victories in Olympics.

add Amit Panghal to the list. Vinesh's loss is a little hard to digest.

[tirtha22 234]

Who performed poorer?

 

Indian shooting team or Vinesh.

 

I am still debating with myself.

 

Had comparatively less hopes from Amit Panghal.
