    The reason that dead rubbers are played in group stage is that they may provide the necessary tiebreak. Also, it gives the lesser teams more matches to play and give the reserves of the top teams to get some game time as well.

    This is a screen grab from the official stream in India

    IIRC 100m Gold winning time has been over 10s in last couple of CWG.

    Neeraj Chopra has withdrawn from the CWG due to fitness issues.

    Is Apeksha capable of matching Sajan/Srihari in fighting for Olympic qualification. Not enough data. But, our NRs are so bad that if a decent athlete comes, they can rewrite our NR multiple times and shave off a lot of time. For example, look at how much time Lalita Babar and Avinash Sable have lost in 3000m SC.

    That awkward moment when Ahmedabad is cooler than half of Europe.

    Neeraj Chopra wins Silver. India’s second ever WC medal.

    Really nice World Championships for India. Multiple players progressing beyond group stage. Bhavani Devi narrowly losing in R32. Small steps but atleast steps in right direction.

    The way I see it is we are essentially in the third tier. We had a big tournament in Tokyo, where we overachieved and got to 4th place. This should be an eye opener for all of us that there is still a long way before we can be considered a medal hopeful at world stage. We are good defensively and have improved our fitness levels but need to work a lot on open play goals and PC conversion rate.

    Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has fled his official residence, as protestors stormed his official residence. Sri Lanka has already declared bankruptcy and there are widespread protests across the island nation.

    Shinzo Abe is among the few political leaders I really admire, and possibly the only non-Indian one. Sayonara Abesan. Arigato for being a true friend of India. Om Shanti.

    Surprising that Tejaswin Shankar and Jeswin Aldrin were dropped.

    1) I propose either @Prashanthor @Fly_like_a_donas the owner of the club. 2) For Club Name: I like Khelo India, Blue Tigers, The Peacock Club, Bharat Army, The Blue Army

    Meanwhile situation in Sri Lanka continues to deteriorate. Here is PM of SL telling how grave the situation is

    Aah, fans being salty after a tough loss is a problem across sports and countries. I am sure a lot of Indians would have been abusing Indonesians if we lost. No need to give the trolls importance.
  16. Dolby
    I saw a prominent Indonesian badminton handle tweet a similar thing. What is the issue?
  17. Dolby
    And we are the champions

    HSP HSP HSP What a performance by Prannoy.

    Why boxing is a joke exhibit 146435: Yesterday in Women's World Championship, in 60kg bout betwen and , in first round, 4 of the 5 judges gave the round 10:9 while the 5th judge gave round 10:8. Similarly, in the next two rounds as well, the same 4 judges gave us round 10:9 and 5th judge gave round 10:9. Now, since I didn't watch the fight I can understand 2nd and 3rd rounds. But, how in the world can 4 judges think that boxer A edged a round while 5th judge thinks that boxer B completely dominated the round. This just doesn't make any sense.

    First Thomas Cup medal for us. The thing that impressed me the most yesterday was how close all 8 the teams are. On a given day, any of the 8 teams could defeat the others. I would put as slight favourites but honestly anything is possible. Another interesting tidbit. We had same QF matchups vs , vs and vs in both Thomas Cup and Uber Cup. In 4th QF, it was vs /. And except which defeated twice, rest all QFs were split giving us 7 different medallists.

    I am not a fan of Mahinda Rajapaksa but honestly this is a benign thing. Almost all of us have our lucky charms and superstitions. I won't call him anti-science as well. He didn't promote any crazy anti-science ideas. In fact, one of the big reason for the current situation in Sri Lanka is MR promoted organic farming without fertilizers, partly to reduce import bill, partly on advice of environmentalists and partly on advice of Buddhist monks. This resulted in crop yields dropping a lot and forcing Sri Lanka to import food.

    Meanwhile situation in Sri Lanka continues to deteriorate. PM Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned. There are multiple reports of violence and arson. Ancestral house of Rajapaksas has been burned down. In another bizzare incident, a ruling party MP opened fire on protesters and then later committed suicide.

    With the postponement of Asian Games, it seems highly unlikely that the games would be held on time. And if postponement results in solving another tricky situation (Russia 2023), that would be icing on the cake.
