Thank You

There's also a b boy called El Nino If he gets more points than he deserved commentators might call it an El Nino effect

I'll go with 8-10 medals with 3-4 golds. Athletics and Badminton are prime contenders for most of the medals. Safest should be : Javelin F64 Men Javelin F46 Men Badminton Men's Singles SL3 Apart from this we could medal in all men's high jump events

Also, who are you nation's 3 safest medallist for the games? Priority order - Gold > Silver > Bronze If you are not confident about the medallist you can give your 3 athletes/teams who can finish in top 10 safely. Your also open to write about other nation's chances .

Actually the entire group is more like on a holiday post games . There are a few world championships this year but until April-May next year it may remain a bit dull . After that for CWG, AG and OG qualifying events there will be interest shown . As of now it might be a bit silent in terms of sports discussion both here as well as there

My predictions Women : -52 , -58, -67, -80, +80 Men : -64, -76, - 87 , -100, +100

I'm happy for Turkey winning 13 medals though I expect 1-2 gold more. Azerbaijan went from 17 medals in Rio to 7 in Tokyo. Just shows naturalizing athletes are not sustainable. They can't medal everytime. When they fail to medal or get injured you realise there isn't a talent pool from your country which can replace them, so you just use the same athletes. I prefer pure original athletes from a nation at least born there or staying there from a very very young age

1. Rate the performance on a scale of 1-10 1- Absolutely Terrible 2 - Bad . . 9- Kinda Awesome 10- Fantastic, Unbelievable 2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks ? 3.Was your country's goal achieved? 4. Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? Current / Upcoming sports

I could. We can close this thread and in the last post give the link of New Indian Thread for new users.

At 82nd position. Who would have seen this coming?

Thanks a lot. We were having a dissapointing games until then. Cold War between the shooters and the coaches, another terrible performance from archers, boxers and wrestlers not able to perform to their expectations never expected gold here in athletics , maybe outside chance of medal i thought. Btw Neeraj Chopra was around 80kgs at the age of 13 and was forced by his parents to run daily to lose weight when he saw some people throwing the javelin on the ground which he apparently liked and started the sport. Had he not been fat we wouldn't have got a gold in Olympics at Tokyo

Best moment for India I think. She was punching much above her weight. World no 189 going toe to toe with World No 1 for 3 days.

We have seen in men's golf how Sabbatini came out of nowhere to win silver. So just can't say anything. Let's not keep expectations

Pictures from yesterday's finals between Tynybekova and Kawaii

We've played with Australia and Argentina women more than any other in the last 2 years. Now it'll be difficult to medal against a team we aren't comfortable playing .

First Indian man to medal in 9 years

Wins their first gold of the games @Griff88 Congrats! Well deserved!

India into the Olympic Semis for the first time in history

Was always sure of this gold I told you ,just like I had doubt in boxing. Tomorrow Ecuador will win 3rd through weightlifting (silver)

assured of its first Olympic medal in 29 years!

He was bought from Egypt?

I was secretly hoping for it since San Marino has a gold and silver from world cups so potential was there, hence issf gave the tripartite

I mean 28 in the first set for Hortou! Who saw this coming! Great even if she lost with the valiant effort

I believe IWF was worried that the judges may face mental health issues if they officiate continously. They deserved a break

Olympic silver medalists from Rio in Men's and Women's Individual, Semifinalist in Rio finishing 4th Sjef Van Der Berg, and the 2nd seed in women Jang Minhee all out! Sjef Van Der Berg bids adieu to the sport.
