Would like to share a recent article on the evolution of Indian Water Polo. In the recent past , Indian Water Polo Team was a force to reckon with at the regional level. Then it is gradually starting to fade away. In 1970 Asian Games , the mens team just missed a gold medal and settled with a silver. http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/UtSiZipRS4yqHSZlhEVIPP/Rio-Olympics-That-sinking-feeling.html

I doubt you prediction about Paes. He didnt announce that Rio would be his last Olympics. Moreover post match he said that he will bounce back.. Slim chances of him playing in Tokyo 2020 still remains

CAS rules Narsingh intentionally took substance in tablet form.While handing down a four-year ban on Narsingh Yadav, the Court of Arbitration for Sports has ruled that the wrestler failed to produce any "real evidence".

Indian runners said that after every 2.5 kms, there were stations installed for every country officials to provide water for their athletes.All stations were manned with officials except that of India's ones.

Dipa Karmakar's coach said today in press conference that he has made a target to make ready 6 gymnasts from India ( 3 men + 3 women ) for Tokyo 2020 Olympics

So much drama in bronze medal match

Another Rawat who represented India in the 10 km walk event in Rio also has a similar story. Manish Singh Rawat is a part time waiter in Uttarakhand and wakes up at 4 am every morning, two hours ahead of his colleagues and starts his training. Rawat, who was at a time, working as a housemaid, tried to get a job in the Police in 2010 through sports quota, which could have given him a monthly salary of Rs 10,000 and get his events sponsored. Unfortunately, he was not given the offer. He does several part time jobs like acting as a guide for tourists to support his family. Rawat earned his berth at the IAAF walking challenge in April by leaving behind 300 competitors. In the finals, Manish walked 20km distance with a timing of 1:21:21, where he beat four former world champions, three Asian champions, two European champions and two Olympic medallists.
