Majority of the "review" is just PR exercise. Just look at the composition of Bindra led committee formed by NRAI to look into what went wrong. Apart from Bindra, who will recuse himself from a lot of things as he has a clear conflict of interest as he was part of team, rest of the team is full of journalists. 

 

Really fail to understand how journos are STILL given so much importance in India when its clear to all that most of them know nothing about anything and just are looking for ways to shout their lungs out and create controversy...not just in sports but in everything...

Fully agree about everything except "clear to all". Journalists still hold so much importance because a large number of people don't think journalists are useless. Moreover, they don't have the means/desire/knowledge to depend on other sources for information. You know how hard it is to find information about sports even for us. Federations know that if they can control media, they can escape scrutiny for another 4 years.

Harikrishna took down the world championship challenger Serjey Kajarkin today !!! 

And he plays Magnus Carlsen tomorrow !!! 

 

The win also moves him to world no. 11 in the live rankings and into the individual silver medal position on the top board.

 

Unfortunately, the final round pairings mean that Indian men are pretty much assured of missing the medals. Only way they have a chance is if Italy somehow takes down Russia, which would be an upset for the ages...

 

The girls on the other hand have a great chance of medalling. They play USA tomorrow and need to win (India are seeded 5th, USA 6th). Then, depending on other results, they can end up anywhere from 2nd to 5th !!!
