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

Add the women's archery team to that list of lost opportunities....

 

I agree with womens arhcery and abinav. Mens 10 m airrifle gave medals at last two olympics so I was confident but it was not our day. I believe still we have chance in shooting and archery. Anyone can spring a surprise.

very true... :d .. 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.

Thats the spirit. See today in archery the south korean lost to a lower ranked player and  in mens 10 m air rifle chinese favourite yang was way behind. And in olympic  shooting (mainly mens rifle and pistol) I see the same guys winning or getting in to finals most of the times. I hope bindra returns for 2020.

Summary of Heartbreak for us so far:

 

1. 10m Air Rifle Men - Bindra missed medal by 0.1 point

2. Women Archery team - Team missed in shoot out against Russia after trying so hard. eventually Russian won silver medal winner in same event

3. 48Kg Women Weightlifting - Saikhom Mirabai Chanu - if she lifted 106 in clean and Jerk which she done before , Bronze assured.

4. Men's Hockey - Losing against 2012 Olympics champion just 3 seconds before end of the match else it will be spoken for Ever.

 

Summary of Good Performance so far

 

1. Dipa Karmakar - She is in headline in all the Indian Channels - First Indian women to qualify for Vault Finals.

2. Dattu Baban Bhokanal  - Rower directly qualifies for Quaterfinal for first time.

3. Prarthana Thombare - Women double tennis - Hard fought by her. Even if she lost in first round.

 

Expected results from my side:  (I am not Sports Journalist, this is completely my opinion)

 

Men's doubles - Its expected result, Ego will not fetch the medal. 

Ayonika Paul - 10m Air rifle women - She never won major medal expect 2014 Common wealth games. She won bronze one world cup. And never be consistent. Not sure why this quota is not sure used for other( Eg. Sanjeev Rajput)

Manavjit Singh Sandhu - Men's Trap - Why we need to keep trying with same person for more than three Olympics. I agree he is once world champion. But unable to sustain the pressure and he is not qualified for finals even once in Olympics.

 

More Shocking results :

 

TT Players not even moved to next round - Even Soumyajit Ghosh lost in first round.

10m Air Pistol Men- Considering the current form of Jitu Rai. I got shocked to see his low score in finals while he was starting

 

I will support India Olympic athletics .. Any time .. Any where

    • Earthquake in San francesco , not strong but yeah mixed to fire looks like dancing Samba 
    • I feel like the shooting coaches are doing something terribly wrong. A good example is Hanna Öberg who started her career as best in the individual event (where shooting is more important) winning 1 olympic and 2 world titles despite not being a very good skiier. Suddenly she was one of the better skiiers (not this season) but very unstable shooter.    i think they practice to little on competition-like circumstances and too little in bad weather conditions too. And maybe need mental help. The coaches when interviewed have been talking for years how good Ponsilouma is at shooting both during off-season training and in the pre-race warm up shooting. Still terrible shooter in competition even if some of his very few successes have been in the most important races
    • As a Mediterranean, it makes me very strange that Prague is not included in the project. Usually the Czech Republic is one of the pivots of Visegrad/Mitteleuropa. Am I missing something or some political controversy between the IOC and the Czech NOC?
    • many celebrities lost houses of 30 millions $ like paris hilton  This bastrd of james wood said we gonna exterminate Palestinians because they are poor ...now he is crying like a btch of losing his house   
    • This is winter , image how will be their summer T'chrump said we gonna burn the middle east to please the husband "Satanyahu" ...apparently his ass is burnning first   
    • Nah, I don't think that we'll have some problems.
    • The last time this happened - all three athletes on the podium had zero podiums before - was Les Saisies sprint in December 1990: Uschi Disl, Elena Melnikova (future Sergei Tchepikov's wife) & Kerstin Moring. The latter two never finished on the World Cup podium again. This was also the race where Disl became the second youngest World Cup winner ever (currently down to third because of Neuner).
    • In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.
    • Unfortunately the Italian men's team is poorly prepared for the season. Everyone is in terrible shooting form. Somewhere a mistake was made in the preparations. We are recording a big regression compared to the previous season. It`s becoming more and more likely that we will not stand on the podium even once this season (I can't remember the last time something like that happened). In the Nations Cup we are in 6th place and we may lose 6 starting places in the World Cup from next season. I`m increasingly worried about what will happen in the Olympic season. Without Vittozzi returning to top form, we completly will not count.    In general our entire winter season looks very bad: biathlon as above, cross-country skiing - still only Pellegrino, luge - poor form, alpine skiing without Goggia and Brignone doesn`t exist.
