Possibly the best singles result in a while. Ramkumar defeated Dominic Thiem in Rd16.

Disappointing result. Luckily, we have already qualified to WC and World League Finals by virtue of being hosts.

It will replace parts of World League (Semifinals and Finals) while initial stages (Round 1 and Round 2) where majority of the nations participated will continue as before. There is still some confusion regarding Olympic/WC qualification. Hopefully, FIH would clarify about that soon. Detailed Q&A about HPL: Link

Just to clarify I am not saying that moderators or Sindo will decide which threads need to be opened. We ourselves can decide that. For example, you started Tour de Suisse, someone should have started the French Open Tennis thread and so on.

I preferred the old style where each competition had its own thread and there was one general thread for the sport. But, that was feasible because results and discussion were grouped in the same thread. Without results, it is not advisable to have dedicated thread for each competition because there is no point in having large number of threads with only handful of posts. But, big competitions which generate a lot of chat should definitely have their own separate threads. We can be flexible in it as well. For example, we can start posting about "Tour de Suisse" in "Road cycling discussion thread" and if there is enough buzz, spin off a separate thread.

Didnt UWW categorically deny that he has not failed any dope test. Also, any clarification regarding when exactly did he fail the test and if he will be losing any medals?

Turned 30 just a month back.

Damn it, England ruined my prediction. Winners list of European Championships: MS: Rajiv Ouseph WS: Carolina Marin MD: Matthias Boe/Carsten Mogensen WD: Kamilla Ryter Juhl/Christinna Pedersen XD: Chris Adcock/Gabriel Adcock

Li is a good player who is capable of creating an upset or two but do you really think that if she had beaten Sindhu in Rio group stages, she could have defeated Tai Tzu Ying, Wang Yihan and Nozomi Okuhara to win silver medal?

Tai Tzu Ying continues her insane run and wins Asia Championships as well. Full list of winners: MS: Chen Long () WS: Tai Tzu Ying () MD: Li Junhui/ Liu Yuchen () WD: Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi () XD: Lu Kai/Huang Yaqiong ()

Who knows, Magees may qualify in 2 events for Tokyo.

That explains the weird dreams I had a week before the voting deadline. Committee took help of Dom Cobb and seeded the idea of GB win in our brains. Damn you Committee.

Congrats Brazil and Serbia. Nice to see that I voted for all the three medallists
