  1. This guys penis came out in the middle of the race Athletics U20 Championships due to a wardrobe malfunction. 18-year-old Alberto Nonino, who hails from Italy, was competing in the 400-meter of decathlon in Cali, Colombia when the incident took place. Alberto Nonino started off extremely well by gaining pace against his competitors, leaving the bystanders under the impression that he might win the race with quite ease. However, after Nonino passed the middle lane, he looked uncomfortable and kept reaching down to hold his crotch a couple of times. He came last ??
  2. Wrestling stopped because a light almost fell on the mat chairman .... Ouch
  3. India at the Commonwealth games 2022 *post 1 of 2 by Nitin Sanker* With the commonwealth games starting today ,thought I would have a quick look at India’s likely performance at the games. *History* CWG has been India’s best multi-games event amongst the big three - Olympics , CWG and asian games In the last 3 editions of CWG we have finished 2nd -2010 , 5th -2014 and 3rd -2018. In 2018 we finished with 26-20-20 , a total of 66 medals . This time things are more difficult for India primarily because shooting which gave us 7 golds ( out of 26) in the last CWG edition have been dropped shockingly from the games. *So can india recover ?* . let us have a quick look at what the numbers may be. *Wrestling* India has seen a great improvement in wrestling and this should be our number one event in terms of both medals and gold medals at CWG. In mens freestyle the competition is weak and with Ravi , Bajrang and Deepak punia as gold medal prospects and a slightly unproven group of mohit , naveen and deepak deepak as sure medallists . we should in my opinion get 4-5 golds and 6 medals in mens . In Women’s freestyle the competition is better with Nigeria quite strong - odunaye in 55 kgs ( a world championship medallist ) and blessing in 68 ( Olympic silver ), but I would say we have a great team : Vinesh ( world championship medalist ) , Pooja ( U23 world silver medallist ), anshu ( world silver medallist) , sakshi ( Olympic bronze ) I think we have the fire power to get 3-4 golds and again 6 medals ….. so wrestling 7-9 golds and 12 medals *Weightlifting* Competition in weightlifting is tough with England , Nigeria in women and Malaysia in men. With 15 Indians ( out of 16 medals ) in the fray , weightlifting should be our second best sport. Of course our Olympic medallist Mirabhai Chanu , bindyarani , punam yadav, purnima pandey in women and jeremmy lalrinuga, achanta sheuli , ajay singh in men are likely gold medalists , there should be 5 golds and 10 medals or so for us in this a sport we have always done well at the CWG. *Badminton* India being the current Thomas cup champions for the first time ever , Indian badminton should shine bright at the CWG , with likely golds in mixed team , PV Sindhu , Lakshya and Kidambi in mens singles ( with singapores Loh kean yew as a possible spoil sport ) and possible medals in all the events we can say 2-3 golds and 5 medals as a reasonable prospect for us *Cycling* We have never medalled in cycling , this time we have a formidable set of opponents in England , Australia , Malaysia ,Canada and Trinidad . We have some great cyclists in Esow alben , Ronaldo etc but cycling alas still may be a bridge too far *Gymnastics* Again despite some good gymnasts in pranati nayak and satyajit mondol we may at best aspire to a final appearance possibly in womens vault at best *Swimming, diving and triathalon * Despite many national awards coming crashing down in the last couple of years, the competition in swimming is so good if we reach a final we can consider it a great performance with srihari nataraj in backstroke being our best prospect *lawn bowls* A sport virtually unknown in India but in the last edition we had 3 QFinalists so maybe, just maybe a medal That covers *half of the sports we will be competing in* , please share this in other groups and I will post Indias chances in the remaining half of the sports including boxing , athletics etc tomorrow
  4. Great world champs for India .... Of course neeraj Chopra's silver in javelin is only our second medal ever ( and first since 2003) ..... But also to have 6 finalists was a first .... I think a couple were even medal possibles if they had hit their PBs ..... But still a great event for us ....
  5. A rare shotgun medal for India .....
  6. My perspective ..... For example you say india was a bad host .... But India did not drop any sports which were being normally played at CWG ..... I do not have any problem if a country adds a sport ( especially an Olympic one which their fans have an interest in ) my problem is when a country drops one of the usual sports which were reasonably popular among other countries .... Like shooting ... Wrestling of course i know that it is there in Birmingham but it has not been announced in 2026 along with shooting again ? .... The view in India is of irritation that sports which are of high interest to India and of high medal scoring capacity are being dropped ..... If the games are held in India and swimming for instance was to be dropped love to see what the mood will be some of the dominion countries .... Dropping sports like wrestling or shooting which were of reasonable standard and fairly broadly competitive and adding sports like rhythmic gymnastics , judo, triathalon ... Is not a great way to run a multi games event ... And continue to build interest and support in a variety of countries ...
  7. I really feel there is hardly any access to the sport .... nearly every body seems to be army .... need to also build many rowing clubs etc
  8. prannoy is surely going to climb with good form
  9. Suprisingly poor performance of South Korea at the world cup
  10. Youth championship India doing well 1-2-1 and leading the table with lighter weights over .... The lead will shift after the heavier weights come in ..... But good start
  11. Decent performance by india in surprisingly in the 50 m three position .... Two silvers in the individual ..... Gold in the mixed and silver in the women's team ...... With gold in the women 10 m team 2-2-1 second overall currently ..... Good perf considering the pistol and shotgun teams were not here
  12. Rowing .....at least participating in the world cup .....sailing some improvement but will be in the 20-30 ranking need to have a major breakthru
  13. Great ..... Hope they stop GB from pretending to be 10 countries at the CWG ......
  14. Your logic is impeccable .... Can you now use the same logic to explain how shooting where 38+ countries participated where every event had 30 countries participate is dropped ..... And why rhythmic gymnastics which has like 4-5 countries participate is added .....
  15. commonwealth Games is becoming such a farce what is the purpose of any multigame event ...... I believe it is to foster sports , participation and interest in all the countries which form the nations which are part of the nations involved .... There are 70 odd participants to the games ( but look closely and you will find there are only53 countries in the commonwealth so all the rest are overseas territories or Ok adding isle of man and jersey as seperate team ) so lets look at the 53 countries an africa group which includes kenya , uganda , whose primary interest would be athletics a carribean group like jamaica, bahamas etc whose primary interest would be athletics so possibly 15 -20 odd countries who would have a wider interest in a multigames program which would be divided into the core dominion countries - UK , Australia , canada and NZ Large african countries - Nigeria , SA South asian cluster - India, Pakistan , bangladesh srilanka SEA cluster - singapore , malaysia now let us look at the sports they have increased medals in or cut in the last 20 years ( last 5 games ) They have cut shooting 40 to 0 where india dominated , but also the sole medal winner for bangladesh They have cut wrestling from 14 to 0 where it was a sport where india dominated and nigeria did well and so did pakistan ( this took a lot of effort as they had to change the whole framework as they have reduced the weightlifting medals from 45 to 15 a sport where india dominates but the smaller oceanic countries like soma, fiji , etc did well in, also pakistan and srilanka get a majority of their medals . I am seeing this as the next target as this is a sport the dominion do badly at and other countries somoa , india and nigeria do well at so cut a 100 medals here what sports have they increased or added aquatics gone up from 48 to an incredible 66 ...... this event is almost wholly dominated by the dominion 4 and SA cycling gone up from 15 to 26 ...... the event is almost wholely dominated by the dominion 4 lawn bowls gone up from 6 to 11 again a sport dominated by the dominion 4 gymnastics gone up from 15 to 20 odd adding rhythmic gymnastics again a sport dominated by the dominion 4 + cyprus judo has been added by UK and dropped by Aus every time a desperate ping pong in sport of 14 medals again dominated by UK \ Para atheletics around 10-12 events carefully selected to reflect the dominion 4 only 11 /12 medals only by them triatholon and squash with 10 or so medals have been added which are events where all the gold medals are won by the dominion 4 so added a 80 odd medals here so if you add the athletics program of 60 or so , , almost 200 medals out of 270 or so ( 75% comes in just 6 sports .with the new changes l ) ...... 5 out of these 6 sports almost exclusively the dominion of the 5 dominion countries .........and you cut a 100 medals in sports like weightlifting , wrestling and shooting where non dominion countries did well in and completely dropped shooting and wrestling pretty much mainstay programs if india protests it is a fair protest ....... this is turning into a dominion games.... of interest of only the 4 dominion countries and possibly SA ........ so go ahead you are killing interest in the CWG in all countries except the 4 dominion countries and SA ............ anyway commonwealth para games , commonwealth youth games , cCWG winter games are already killed .......very soon the main CWG will die or you convert them into a quadrilateral games and drop the multigames tag
  16. Technically if everyone doing alpine sking catches COVID and only the indian is left ....... We can technically win a medal 😂😂
  17. Karma is a bitch ....ain't she ....
  18. On the opening day of the AIBA World Boxing Championships, AIBA President Mr. Umar Kremlev met with referees and judges who have been specially selected, trained and screened prior to officiating the tournament. President Kremlev vowed to ensure a great event for all participants, with fair fights for boxers at its core...... let us wait and see .....
  19. Looks like we need a ton of Indonesian fans to travel to all AIBA events 😂😂
  20. Harmilan Bains breaks the national record in 1500 metres ......
  21. The president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Narinder Batra said on Friday that the participation of India’s hockey teams in next year’s Commonwealth Games is ‘doubtful’. Batra, who is the chief of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) and was a former Hockey India president, said the Indian hockey teams' priority is to achieve their peak at the Asian Games, which starts just 35 days after the CWG. The Birmingham CWG is scheduled to be held from July 28 to August 8, while the Asian Games will be hosted by Hangzhou, China from September 10 to 15.

Looks like India is losing interest in 2022 commonwealth games ..... This is in part due to the issues we have had with shooting I think because batra was talking about a boycott earlier after the shooting imbroglio
  23. Great day of India 2G , 2S and 1B ......... Brings us into top 25 of the medal table , a rarified level India has never been at ...
  24. Great 3 medals , 10 top 8 places ....... Great for India considering in the last 17 editions or so have had only 4 medals 🔥🔥🔥
