Draws Men’s Individual: R of 64 Dhiraj v LI - 30th July Tarundeep v Hall - 31st July Pravin v Kao - 1st Aug The draw is good for Dhiraj & deservedly so after finishing 4th in ranking round. He has a clear path till QF & after that anything can happen on the day. Tarundeep has a probable match with Unruh in R of 16 which will be key. Pravin will do well to win a match , he will play Ellison next which will be tough & he was poor in ranking round. Men’s Team : QF V / - 29th July The draw has opened up quiet nicely for us thanks to finishing 3rd in Ranking round. We have a clear path to Final with winnable/ matches where no is a favourite. Mixed Team : Dhiraj/ Ankita v - 2nd Aug The draws is tricky, we have Spain/ China in QF & possible SF with Korea. Will do well to reach SF. Overall after ranking round we still have hopes of clinching our first medal from Archery in Olympics.

V Will be a good match . Could be an upset there.

Excellent from NZL, shows why they are one of the favourites for a medal here. One of the better matches today.

After completion of men’s ranking Round : Good job by our boys. Dhiraj was excellent as he has been for most of this year. Tarundeep did really well for most part of the qualifying. Pravin was disappointing but he was the weakest link , so it was expected. Not many team has 3 strong archers apart from Korea. A strong 3rd place by our team. Men’s Individual: Dhiraj : 4th ( 681) Tarundeep : 14th ( 674) Pravin : 39th (658) Men’s Team : 3rd ( 2013) Mixed Team : 5th ( 1347) * Mixed team will be Dhiraj & Ankita

Good qualification for our Men’s Team & individually Dhiraj finished an excellent 4th. With this good performance our mixed team finished on a creditable 5th . Men’s Team finishing 3rd guarantees not facing Korean team till final. We have a nice path to the final . A very satisfying day for us today in Archery.

Judo Draw Round 1 Tulika Maan v Oritz This is a good draw for her against a judoka she will feel she can beat. She might be able to win a bout here & then will run into WR 9 .

Tennis Draws : Men’s Singles : R of 64 Nagal v Moutet Men’s Doubles : R of 32 Bopanna/ Balaji v Reboul/ Roger-Vasselin Considering his ranking Sumit Nagal got a very fair draw. He play Moutet who is similarly ranked . The doubles pair has got a OK draw , if they win their first round they will run into the 2nd seed germans in R of 16.

TT draws Men’s Team : R of 16 V Women’s Team R of 16 V Men’s Individual Preliminary Round: Harmeet v Yaman - 27th July 19:15 Hrs R of 64 Sharath v Kozul Women’s Individual R of 64 Sreeja v Kallberg Manika v Hursey The draw worked out quiet well for the women’s team & a path can be found to reach SF, which will be historic. Harmeet has a tough draw but that was expected will be interesting to see who goes furthest among Sharath, Sreeja & Manika .

More to do with expectations & experience. She is the most talented & experienced archer in the women’s team. However she has been underperforming by her reputation in the last 3 Olympics. I expected better from her. 665+ was the least she could have done.

The Draws : Women’s Team: QF V / 28th July 17:45 Hrs IST Women’s Individual: R of 64 matches Ankita v Myszor - 30th Jul Bhajan v Kamal - 30th Jul Deepika v Parnat - 31st Jul The draw has opened up nicely for our team , we have a fair chance of reaching the SF, finishing in top 4 was important as that ensured a direct QF birth. Individual draws have opened a path for one of our girls to reach QF & then anything can happen. The downside is Ankita will play Bhajan in R of 32 provided they win their opening round matches. With Deepika she can loose her first match against Estonian or could well upset other top seeds but it will depend on that day. Lets hope the men too finish in Top 4 & we get a good XD draw.

Well the first event for us in Paris is done & it was a decent performance by our girls. Ankita did really well , Bhajan did OK & Deepika was less than impressive. Final Ranking : Ankita : 11th ( 666 ) SB Bhajan : 22nd ( 659) Deepika : 23rd ( 658) Team - 4th ( 1983 ) * With this result Ankita has also secured her place in the mixed team event.

2 of our girls are on collision course in R of 32, if they win their first round matches But overall the draw has opened up nicely for whoever wins that match. There is a clear path to QF & then you never know. As for the team, finishing in top 4 ensured a direct QF place & that was the target. We will play either France/ Ned in QF which isn’t bad either. Not a bad start to Paris 2024 for us.

Happy Olympics everyone! starts our Paris Olympic journey today. May this be our best olympics yet. Jai Bharat Jai Hind

Where is the security?? So many pitch invasions & then fans throwing objects & what looks like missiles on the Argentina players. This is just not right. Secure measures are supposed to be tightened for this games…doesn’t look so. Amazing match though, felt more like a proper football tournament with the crowd & passion of the players. Unfortunately all that gets ignored due to security concerns

1-1 HT 0-1 HT

VAR in effect Penalty for UZB

ESP scores the opening goal

Do they have VAR in Olympics ?

Mixture of two, switching between channels. Have personal interest in UZB but ARG V MAR should be the better match

It’s Olympics time Happy Olympics everyone. Hope you have a good one! Cheer for you team
