Neeraj Chopra finished 2nd in the Diamond league finals. He will have his groin surgery in the off season. Yet another successful season for Neeraj

By finishing 2nd he pocketed $12000 a nice way to end his season. Hopefully he has a successful surgery & starts his rehab for the 2025 season, targeting the 2025 world championships 

A good performance from Neeraj Chopra  finishing 2nd considering he is not 100% fit & will have a groin surgery in off season. 

A nice purse of $12000 for his efforts

Congratulations to Peters  for winning the Diamond league & concluding a very successful season with another close fought battle with Chopra.

My boy , Bandito . He loves going to the beach . He is 3 years old 

I Vote : No

Table Tennis is getting much more competitive. Sweden & France had a great Olympics. There is always Japan Korea & Germany. China may have won all 5 golds but the sport is getting more competitive especially for the minor medals. Soon like with Badminton, TT will become a lot more competitive & will see a number of countries competing for medals. 

 had a below average olympics so not many positive moments but if I had to pick one it would be Vinesh defeating Yui Susaki in the last secs of the bout. That was a genuinely WOW! moment for me. 
 

As for Paris & the Olympics in general, the biggest positive was to see packed crowds at almost all venues ( particularly after Tokyo) & continuous chanting of “ Allez les bleus” supporting the french athletes. 

I am glad I found this forum of sports enthusiasts from around the world . It has become a big part of my daily routine  

So many knowledgeable sports fans sharing their insights & information in a single place is like a gold mine for me. 
 

Thanks to all the users & admins for keeping Totallympics so active

I will deffo be part of this family & road to LA28 starts from today 

We will participate in Flag Football men’s world championships 2024 in Finland from 27-30th August 2024 
 

With Flag football added as a new sport in LA 28 Sports programme, will be interesting  to see how we do in world championships relative to other Asian nations & thus gauge our qualification chances 

 
We are in Group G 

Top 2 in each group qualifies for KO rounds.

Au revoir Paris

Reetika has her medal match on 11th August if she qualifies and it is a lucky date for us in Olympics.

Lets not talk about Luck please 🙏 

7th Aug was supposed to be our most lucky day as we got Gold with Neeraj in Tokyo. Look what happened on 7th Aug 2024 the most cruel day of Indian Olympics campaign in 2024 

Yazdani  How unlucky can you be. To be injured in the final bout. How cruel the sport is sometimes. He will always be a champion gold medal or not. What a tiger , fought with a dislocation 

Our 6th medal in Paris  & wrestling once again delivers inspite of all the problems. 
Aman is a talented young wrestler & he will get better .
