Thats the way to go........ I think we have lost out on only two medal opportunities weightlifting (not many cared but it was our easiest medal chance considering no chinese there) and Bindra (hard luck).... so not all is lost... still good no of chances are there for India

Add the women's archery team to that list of lost opportunities....

 

I agree with womens arhcery and abinav. Mens 10 m airrifle gave medals at last two olympics so I was confident but it was not our day. I believe still we have chance in shooting and archery. Anyone can spring a surprise.

very true... :d .. My frustration gone .. Back to normal .. waiting for today EOD to post my Summary .. even if we return with out medal .. I will still support Olympic sport athelitics.

Thats the spirit. See today in archery the south korean lost to a lower ranked player and  in mens 10 m air rifle chinese favourite yang was way behind. And in olympic  shooting (mainly mens rifle and pistol) I see the same guys winning or getting in to finals most of the times. I hope bindra returns for 2020.

Summary of Heartbreak for us so far:

 

1. 10m Air Rifle Men - Bindra missed medal by 0.1 point

2. Women Archery team - Team missed in shoot out against Russia after trying so hard. eventually Russian won silver medal winner in same event

3. 48Kg Women Weightlifting - Saikhom Mirabai Chanu - if she lifted 106 in clean and Jerk which she done before , Bronze assured.

4. Men's Hockey - Losing against 2012 Olympics champion just 3 seconds before end of the match else it will be spoken for Ever.

 

Summary of Good Performance so far

 

1. Dipa Karmakar - She is in headline in all the Indian Channels - First Indian women to qualify for Vault Finals.

2. Dattu Baban Bhokanal  - Rower directly qualifies for Quaterfinal for first time.

3. Prarthana Thombare - Women double tennis - Hard fought by her. Even if she lost in first round.

 

Expected results from my side:  (I am not Sports Journalist, this is completely my opinion)

 

Men's doubles - Its expected result, Ego will not fetch the medal. 

Ayonika Paul - 10m Air rifle women - She never won major medal expect 2014 Common wealth games. She won bronze one world cup. And never be consistent. Not sure why this quota is not sure used for other( Eg. Sanjeev Rajput)

Manavjit Singh Sandhu - Men's Trap - Why we need to keep trying with same person for more than three Olympics. I agree he is once world champion. But unable to sustain the pressure and he is not qualified for finals even once in Olympics.

 

More Shocking results :

 

TT Players not even moved to next round - Even Soumyajit Ghosh lost in first round.

10m Air Pistol Men- Considering the current form of Jitu Rai. I got shocked to see his low score in finals while he was starting

 

I will support India Olympic athletics .. Any time .. Any where

    • 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)
