Day 10 Schedule ( 05/08/24) Total Events : 8 ( 2 Medal Events) Total Sports : 6

I would have liked Thomson to win & he deserves too. I don’t why they made the athletes wait so long at the start line. Anyways, since Bolt’s retirement WA has been crying out for a STAR so Lyles & his cocky arrogance fits nicely with WA trying to Promote him as some kind of superstar . When the reality is he is not an exceptional sprinter like Bolt. It is what it is.

So happy for Djokovic Delighted for him. So Passionate about his sport & country . Serbia deserves this gold from her beloved son

Wow with a 🥇 Shotgun has worked well for latin America

3000m (W) : Ankita - 40th ( 16:19:38) Parul - 24th (15:10:68) SB Both failed to qualify for Final. Shot Put (M) - Tejinder Toor - 29/31 athletes hitting a poor mark 18.05 . He looked unfit. Failed to qualify for Final.

Parul Chaudhary finished 8th in her heats & 21/ 36 athletes overall in 3000m SC (W) . She failed to qualify for Finals . She clocked a SB time of 9:23:39

What a match Gold decided in cms..credit to both archers shooting arrows under pressure & hitting 10

Remarkable shot from Unruh under pressure. That was near perfect. He takes the shoot-off & qualifies

Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl retains her Olympic crown. She wins 🥇 for 2nd consecutive Olympics in Individual Dressage. Another medal for Werth she wins 🥈 1-2 for

Lakahay sen lost 0-2 to Victor Axelsen . He played superbly and nearly won the first game but Axelsen is on a different level. Let’s hope he can do well in the 🥉medal match.

Lakshay Sen did all he could & more but Axelsen is on a different level 👍 Proud of Lakshay he played a superb first game & nearly won it.

We end our Boxing competition without a medal Judging is so subjective , every bout we lost is by split decision For this sport to survive we need a scoring system . This subjective judging will kill amateur boxing .

Lovlina lost to the chinese Boxer in split decision (1-4) again another close bout went against us. No medal in Boxing

1(4) - 1 (2) FT We are through to yet another SF in Olympics. Our boys played amazing hockey. Excellent team effort & our GK legend dis the rest

We won playing with 10 men What a defensive performance from the boys . Our GK is a Legend . Where would be without him. In Hockey unlike Football Shoot out are more technical & not solely on luck. Another SF for us, hope we can go the distance this Olympics

You got it wrong , it will be SF V V

Day 8 - Frustrating Day, we could have secured 2 medals but ended with none. Manu ended her excellent Olympics with a 4th place We are still active in 10 sports. ( Archery campaign comes to an end again without any medal ) Archery has probably worst ratio of medal/ expense among our core sports where government is spending heavily. Need a massive overhaul of our system in Archery. 4 more athletes ended their Olympics campaign today ( 2 Archery , 1 Shooting , & 1 Boxing ) We still have 64 active athletes & have 3🥉 in our Kitty. As of Day 8 we are 53rd in the overall Medal table . Medalists : Manu Bhaker (10m AP women) - 🥉 10m AP Mixed Team ( Manu & Sarabjot) - 🥉 Swapnil Kusale (50m 3P AR Men) - 🥉

Day 9 Schedule ( 04/08/24) Total Events : 10 ( 2 Medal Events) Total Sports : 7

He had 5 PBs & 3SBs in 2 days. That is some improvement. I am shocked, but I didn’t follow the European U23 championships so maybe it was expected. But to perform at that level in 8/10 events is superb.

I am not satisfied with this Decathlon competition I am already counting down to Tokyo 2025 world championships. Hope we have full field with Mayer, Warner, LePage , Leo & Kaul

Yes he will normally be in similar Rank 16-18th after Day 1 ( he was 20th here) but then breeze past everyone wih a fabulous Day 2 only this time although similar rank but his points total was too much make up. Very few commentators are able to identify Kaul’s strong Day 2. Most are Track specialists with very little input on other events.

I selected Leo for 🥇 in athletics predication contest & even made him captain to get extra points I never thought a Norwegian kid with limited experience will keep making PBs & take the Gold. I will follow his career closely, either he will completely disappear from the circuit or if he keeps improving like he has then he will be next big thing in Decathlon.

He did SB in JT & 1500 . He normally has a very strong 2nd Day . Yes , he was below average in PV & DT but he was too far behind after 1st day. He always struggles in Shotput & it killed his chances. But Yes, Discus was another event he should have got a higher mark.

Why Leo did nearly 9000 pts this season in Eugene ? Do you follow decathlon closely?

I hope they don’t accommodate Boxing for LA but Boxing is big in US so maybe they will keep it in the programme. It will hopefully remain an optional sport & future hosts can decide if or not to accommodate it into their programme
