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

    • Congrats man ! First of many of I’m sure 
    • Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
    • History has been written.  women ski jumping participation at the WOG   Fun fact both our jumpers are the youngest of the field in both W & M competitions  
    • Langenhan looks untouchable    I thought starting last in the 2nd run might hurt him, he improved the TR instead.   The temperature should be lower tomorrow, I don't know if that may mix things up a bit.
