hats off to ehsan hadadi .....India was very unfortunate to have one of our best atheletes of the last 20 years Vikas Gowda have someone like Hadadi in the same event , came silver last and before that a close bronze ...... But hadadi still is the best athelete that Iran has every had and at 33 I think he has one more gold in him

we won 2 more golds in Olympic events.........Of course Ehsan won the Gold in Discus ............... I hoping we can defeat Iran and PRK on the Olympic sport table @ Iranian Group members

Boxing was one of the worst displays till now in the asian games ....not sure what went wrong ....even vikas was lucky to win into the semis

Open laser and 49 FXer medals in sailing look sure possibly a silver and bronze , 49 Fxer men which I thought would be a likely medal hope and was doing well till yesterday slips most probably out of medals

india looked good in possession but again goal line issues and poor penalty corner conversion is a bit of an issue

as expected Swapna Burman wins

as expected ...purnima just lost the bronze

India almost surely will win the heptathalon with swapna burma leading into the last 800 m and Qing having a weak 800....hoping for a second medal in heptathalon with prunima who is hanging on the 4th palce but has a better 800 PB than yuki

I do not get why you are saying we are doing worse in shooting ( last time we got a lot of our medals in team events which were not there here had they been here we would have got huge medals ....compare our ranking ( In 2014 we were 8th, this time we are third and if you look at just the olympic events we were 2nd ), I would say we have done superb in Shooting ....... wrestling we got more golds than last time so I think the performance is better - if you win gold at the asian games you have a good chance for medals in the olympic games , whereas if you win a bronze at the asian level it may be tough at the olympic level ......... boxing I do agree we seem to have done worse

nice analysis ..... would request you to do this at the end of the games ....it is a useful analysis .....In the total we seem to be at 5th

Guys am I the only one who thinks this medal chart is not important ........ I would really like to see an olymic medal event chart for this games and a normal Asian program..... I find too many of the introduced events vague Sambo Kurash Jetski pencak silat parachuting Bridge jujitsu skateboarding sports climbing - the huge number of events also events like downhill cycling, poomsae, , changing most of the rowing events to lightweight in the program which in the way it is structured allows the program to be non representational Also I found dropping of many of the standard events * team in shooting ( actually to be fair I think it must be removed ) * all heavy weights in boxing * removing the individual events in compound was removed I also find that too many medals are given in sports which are martial based ...... I think that reduces the adequate representation of the sports in the program

India Have reached the very improtant psychological mark of 50 medals .......................... now onwards to 66 which would be the best ever performance iau n asian games beating 65 which we won in 2010 gangzhau ....... I am not worried about the medal standing right now ............ as the number of weird sports is so many ....... and so many good sports have been dropped

one more gold lost to the africans in 4*400 mixed

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO india 1-2 against the africans

just the semis right now ...let us see the finals

exciting news in kurash ...Indian balhara reaches the final in 52 Kg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

true TT bronze is not just a medal ...........beating japan and going 2-3 against taipei shows that this indian team is at true world class level and if soumyajit comes back ...this team can then be possibly at least comete fora medal at the olympics ....... sure quarterfinalist and with a good draw can upset for a medal

thats true .....let us see how it goes

today has started bad ........ trust there will be an improvement .................. to be honest most of the matches barring sonia lather went as per the seeding........... India needed to upset something and they could not

while I do believe a deliberate program to get the best youngsters from various countries and then make them run for your country makes a mockery of the "asian" games .......but I must say this makes atheletics at the asian games at a world class level which it was not before ............. was so very proud of Indians who in this world class field are doing well Dharun -> 48.96 in 400mh ( would have got him possibly a final place in Rio ) , Hima - > 50.79 in womens 400 ( would have got her 6th place in Rio ) tejinder 20.75 in shot - a possible 6th place in rio , neerajs -88.06 in javelin would have been a bronze at the Rio olympics Neena -6.51 - just about the qualifying mark for the final 12 at rio and I am sure our relays would also benefit from this especially the 4*400 - 3 relays ....... would love to see the time
