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. yes, 8 seems reasonable. For me, the magic number would have been 10. We should have crossed 10. We've lost chances quite a few chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've lost chances quite a few chances. That is bound to happen. Not all chances would win medals. Prior to Olympics started, my path to 10 medals was Shooting: 2 (disaster) Boxing: 2 (slightly less. 0 medal in Men's boxing was painful) Wrestling: 2 (expected 2 medals out of Ravi, Vinesh and Bajrang. Possibly on track. Was hoping that some of our younger wrestler will pull a Sakshi and win an unexpected Bronze but alas) Weightlifting: 1 (Was a lock, delivered) Others: 3 (Got 2. Chance for more) There were no clear favourites in others. There were a lot of contenders/dark horses only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what happens with other countries is that many of their non-favourite athletes rise their levels at the Olympics and convert a silver to a gold like probably Ravi could have done today.

sounak 8 Posted August 5, 2021 #11466 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I hope Ravi uses the focus in his eyes in the right way. Currently only Zaur Uguev looks better than him in this category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinesh is the only one to win her 1st bout. Sonam, Anshu, Seema Bisla have all lost their opening bouts. Doesn't tell a good story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
