Madhusudhan 8 Posted August 5, 2021 #11451 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Its hard but we have to digest the fact that vinesh is out of medal contention now...this olympics is not for vinesh as she ran out of energy in quarterfinal and she ran out of luck in last 10 seconds of chinese vs belarus semi final match !!!

Hazique 1 Posted August 5, 2021 #11453 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Deepak punia lost the bronze medal match, he was humping like a buffalo in the second round, looks like only trained for 1 round match, total shambolic performenace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazique 1 Posted August 5, 2021 #11455 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It was not missed but it was given away, dont know what the coach said at the interval coz deepak did absolutely nothing in the second period, even if he had to defend he should also pounce on the opponent mistakes, he looked so tired and was breathing like a bull and just wanted to go home, san marino with a contingent of 5 athletes have won 3 medals at the olympics and that tell us how far we are in terms of sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhusudhan 8 Posted August 5, 2021 #11456 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Our wrestlers playing so defensively and relying on slender 1 or 2 point lead is a big mistake..... Deepak, Anshu and Sonam all lost the matches which they should have won by playing aggressive wrestling I don't know whether it's fault of players or coaching staff.... even for that matter vinesh was also not aggressive enough. I hope bajrang will take note of above for tomorrow his bouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Men's boxing contingent used a similar approach. Something has gone wrong,either in the coaching strategies or we as a team have become more afraid of losing and so we are trying not to lose rather than fighting to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirtha22 64 Posted August 5, 2021 #11458 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I can't believe someone can be so defensive in a medal match. This 5 seconds will haunt him forever. It is not cool to throw away a precious Olympic medal thinking about the billion fans back there in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be delighted if one of the dark horses does win a historic medal. Imagine, how great this Olympics would have been if we would have won couple of Shooting medals as well.
