Quite satisfied with the draw. 

 

Men's team should win easily against Russia, even while trying things. Its good that we avoided Pakistan otherwise the political side would have overshadowed the hockey. 

 

The key team to avoid for Women's team was Belgium and we were lucky to avoid them. USA was among the top teams till some time back but at present are on a downward spiral. At home, we should be able to eke out a win against them.

The Sweety Pakis will be kicked around by Netherlands.

I think world boxing , world wrestling , world weightlifting and womens boxing in early oct are crucial ......... atheletics seems in a bad shape ...... no good results this year till date - neeraj injured and hima has been having back issues , the major improvements in the national records -  i remember jinson -  1500 m., annu rani - jav , sable - 3000 sc and dharun - 400mh ..... i think only dharuns was

in the top 20 this year so dharun and unless some miracle by javelin shivpal to improve pb but his recent throws have been pathetic .,,.... did the relay teams make it ?
