I know everyone is disappointed with India not winning any medal till now (loosing one or two very closely).... I feel India have some more chances in badminton, shooting, wrestling and also may be in tennis and boxing...... hoping for the best

surprisingly, i find this forum rather quiet now than during London.....

It was way more active in terms of posts during Commonwealth and Asian games

We used to have some really heated arguments...

I think it is more or less linked to no of events india partcipating... in Asiad/Commonwealth games india partcipation is high and more importantly medalists were more

Thats the way to go........ I think we have lost out on only two medal opportunities weightlifting (not many cared but it was our easiest medal chance considering no chinese there) and Bindra (hard luck).... so not all is lost... still good no of chances are there for India

very true...  .. My frustration gone .. Back to normal .. waiting for today EOD to post my Summary .. even if we return with out medal .. I will still support Olympic sport athelitics.

Archery team tried...conditions and luck affected them really bad......Bindra tried his heart out..unlucky..hats off to that kind of commitment.

But chanu's performance was really puzzling....

Competition was low....other lifters kept failing their attempts...

All she had to do was lift that 106 in the clean and jerk.....not 1 lift...it was also her opening eight which means she's lifted it several times b4
