What a match between LJZ And Lakshya ! And Lakshya is into the finals

With 3 SF IN MD already! Will there be a clean sweep of podiums Perhaps Leo/Marthin will have the answer

Treesa Jolly / Gayathri Gopichand Unbelievable, Marvelous, doesn't even feel like I'll get a dream about them reaching in semis. The teenagers have been saving match points all tournament , no different against Worlds '21 silver medallist and current No 2 Lee So Hee /Shin Seung Chan today. Was sad to see they didn't make the tournament at draws, just got a last moment entry along with the Brazilian pair due to withdrawals and they have made the most of it in a field of all Olympic medallists. The last time we had won a title in this tournament was when Gayathri's father Pullela won the Men's Singles .

After 5 years we will have a medal from the event, it'll be 2 medals!

All England living up to it's expectations! Lots of upsets and an exciting yet unpredictable brand of badminton, the reason I can watch the sport all year without getting bored.

Oh well happens people think we Indians are crazy about hockey, in reality it isn't . And yeah the ministry has clearly stated in 2020 that Hockey is NOT the national sport of the country . So as per the law India has no national sport not even a unofficial national sport.

OK this is some curiosity. Maybe some die hard hockey fans who watch both ice and field hockey. Just to clarify Field Hockey is NOT one of the popular sport in India in the last 2 decades. In most websites they may still write Field Hockey but no there is nothing like popularity. The sport is popular in Punjab, Haryana, 2 small northern states, then Odisha, Delhi, Jharkhand , and few other cities including Bangalore. Rest most people only know that hockey is about hitting the ball in the goal with a hockey stick . I never played or watched the sport in person , its played in very few schools and colleges except for those places. Don't remember the last time the last time there was a district level competition in field hockey in my district, even netball, ballbadminton, squash, tennikoit , throwball has those events here. Now coming to how much hockey is shown on TV. For the youth to be interested there needs to be something shown. Despite 15 odd sports channels hockey is shown during world cups, world juniors , asia cup apart from multi sport games ( Indian matches only with the FIH commentators ) on 1 channel, if there is something live in other sports like a cricket match or EPL the sport won't be shown at all on TV instead those same sports may be shown in multiple channels with multiple languages commentary. There will be streaming of it online but I won't waste my money on subscription for field hockey, let me be honest, I don't like the sport that much, lost the interest over the years and despite the highs of Tokyo I'm more than comfortable with watching it during multi sport events only. The only sports that you can watch on Indian TV regularly is Cricket, Badminton, Kabaddi , Football, Tennis, Motor Sports, WWE (Nope, no athletics either) Don't even talk about this sport there . Since Imran Khan came to power the sport has died as he has cut the funding. The players are now part timers who practice only before tournaments . Don't ask if the sport is shown on their TV or apps, non existent.

@LuizGuilherme A curious question. Did you by any chance watch/are watching the paralympics ?

V V Para ice hockey semis... I watched a couple of games from world champs 21' and 18'Paralympics last year and I liked it. Watching the sport closely, I must say I absolutely love it. It's the best sport in the games, one of the top 3 team sports in Summer/Winter Para Games. Lots of variety, including those flicks/scoop , sledge movement, using both sticks to move the puck, reasonable speed of game . The sport has just booked itself a permanent spot every year in my schedule, I'm looking forward to watch the next season of para ice hockey .

Not sure about the Chinese being classified properly all day. After all it's the Chinese organizing committee.

Wonder how many hours of practice was required for the Chinese actors to show that the Chinese are sympathetic towards Ukraine in some of those media .

Ukraine looks like Afghanistan now

Crushing In curling as expected

2 clean sweeps for Today! Loved the women's standing Bui won the gold from almost no where with her 20/20

Walter denies Shyshkova the visually impaired 10k biathlon gold

First medal at these games for

Rozkova had a awesome shot to put In lead in the round robin

The playlist cover everything

1st gold to Ukraine

Oh well almost forgot this is a 35km race gonna be very long Will cheer for nonetheless I'm a bit confused how will mixed team rankings work at paris olympics maybe 2 men and women with their finishing position added

Insane that she has been running with the men all this while. Commentators are telling the some women don't even know that Priyanka is far far away with the men 😂 this is a huge lead though

I just hope she doesn't get DQ in the last 100m like Amit. She really has to walk very carefully and slowly after 1 red card

Oh well this is superhuman effort from Priyanka
