Another bad news. Bopanna - Kudryavtseva go down to the top seeds in the mixed doubles. Atleast they gave a fight - 6-2, 3-6, 8-10.

We are most concerned with Men's Doubles....Paes to meet Bryan bothers in QF...Hope Bopanna goes through...

Rowing

 

Preparations of Dattu Bhokanal

 

Currently he is training at the Army Sports Institute , Pune

 

He will travel to Miami on June 14, where he will train under their coaches for five weeks so as to get used to conditions, and familiarise himself with the food. “For the past six months, Ihe has been training under a coach from USA, Paul Singh Mokka, in Pune.

 

The Rowing Federation of India (RFI) wanted Dattu to travel to Italy for an exposure trip ahead of the Rio Games, but he chose to abide by the Army’s, his employers, words and go to Miami, much to the chagrin of the RFI. He felt his employers helped him when he was injured, and he also practises a lot in Pune with the same coach, Paul Singh. So he decided to follow Army’s programme.

 

There was confusion over whether national coach Ismail Baig would accompany the rower to Rio, since his personal coach Paul Singh  will also be going with him. But Dattu cleared the air, saying both will travel with him. “Ismail sir will leave for Miami on June 17, after which he and Paul Singh sir will take care of my training. Both will also come with me to Rio,” he said.
