Day 5 Summary of India at Olympics

 

Its mixed day today.. Still no medal

 

Archery:

 

Bombayla Devi - Stunned world champion sliver medalist & Current Olympic Team bronze medalist from Chinese Taipei and moved to Pre-Quarter finals

Deepika Kumari - Stormed to Pre-Quarters by beating Georgian and Italian- Good Show by her

 

Boxing 

Manoj Kumar beat 2012 London Olympics bronze medalist and moved to next round.

 

Weighlifting

 

Tamilian Sathish Sivalingam finished 4th in his group by lifting personal best.  Tough no medal from lifters I am happy with their performance as the contested clean without any doping charges. 

 

Judo - Avtar Singh last first round against Refugee olympics athletics. Though India lost it. I am happy with the match as one of the Refugee has won, where he need this victory for him after loosing everything in his life.

 

Womens Hockey - Indian womens lost to Australia by 6-1.

 

Shooting - Same story again - Both Jitu Rai & Prakash Nanjapa fails to qualify for finals. Before last round Jitu was in 4th position but in last round he falls to 12 position. Just by 2 points, he missed the finals. This happen only with Indians. We need to hold the nerve till last minute.

 

I am not blaming Jitu, he is one of the finest shooter that India has ever produced because he has all possible medals expect Olympic medal, feel sorry for him as he was to wait for 4 more years.

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
