I think after today's last throw he thought that he had done it. It is like there is an invisible force on the 90 m line which always pulls his Javelin before the mark

I think in terms of popularity, field hockey is very popular. It is competitive as well (not like basketball). Why would you want it dropped?

I love how symmetric Iran's overall medall tally is and also across sports it is symmetric

1. Rate the performance on a scale of 1-10 - A solid 4. I would say. Extremely disappointing but as we got 6 medals so I would give it a 4. 2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks ? - Medals by Hockey team and Aman in wrestling 57 kg were surprises. Hockey team was not in good form in the lead up to the Olympics but at the Olympics they raised their game. So close to the gold medal match. Aman was also not considered a good medal prospect due to his young age and poor defending skills. But he worked on both of them and improved a lot. Heartbreak were all the 4th place finishes. Along with that definitely Vinesh Phogat in wrestling, Satwiksairaj and Chirag in men's badminton. Vinesh's story needs no introduction I guess but for Sat-Chi it was not that they were outplayed by the opponents but they just crumbled under pressure very badly. Also I would say Reetika Hooda since she lost 1-1 on criteria when both the 1-1 points have been due to passivity warnings. Shows that the scoring of combat sports are still pretty erratic and does not always favour the best athlete. 3.Was your country's goal achieved? - Definitely not. We were hoping for 2 golds. 4. Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? Current / Upcoming sports - I think table tennis and hockey definitely. Both of these sports have shown such an improvement in the recent games. 5. Who could be some the potential star for your country in LA? - So many to name. Aman Sehrawat, Lakshya Sen, Reetika Hooda, Bhajan Kaur ...

It was a loss just because of the stupid rules of wrestling. Great fight by Reetika

First she has to get to the semifinals right? She has Aiperi Medet Kyzy in her way. If she reaches the semifinals she can go to the finals

Yazdani

That is I think the highest scoring wrestling match I ever saw

I hope we just carry forward this momentum in hockey. 2 medals back to back is a dream considering that I always wondered if I would get to see an Indian hockey olympic medal in my lifetime. I hope in LA we have a good mix of youth and experience to move forward from here.

What happened to the North Korean quotas in 50 and 62? Did the athletes just disappear

Never mind this is not happening

@MHSN what do you think about Yazdani Brooks final? If both make it

Of course not. I had a glimmer of hope but Japanese in lower weight classes are a different beast 🥲

Got it. But he is the Rio silver medalist and is the favourite for the gold. Hope Aman puts up a strong show.

How did the Japanese fail the Asian Olympic qualifiers weigh in? Are you talking about 2020? Because this time Rei Higuchi qualified through the World Championships.
