The race for the 4th spot in the medal table is heating up!

Iran have a lot of gold medals to look forward to while India, Uzbekistan, Taipei, and Thailand are very close.

Who do you predict will take the 4th Spot? 🫡

A nation can't get their second quota from this particular WCH? Why didn't China get their second one in Men's 10m Air Rifle?

I suggest you contact the British Olympic Committee who will confirm that they make no claim on these medals and do not include them in their medal tallies. 

Why would I take that trouble though? It's not a serious issue for me

GB does not claim the Pritchard medals as being British. I don't know where you got that idea from. 

There is this clash between IAAF and IOC about which NOC to award Pritchard's medals. 

If GB wouldn't have claimed do you think there had been this duel? 

Although I didn't mean it in a rude or offensive sense since I won't have a problem if in future they are listed under GB's medal tally.

I hope Shaili Singh (Long Jump)  

1.  Difficult to rate, but ... 8/10.

Would have given 7 or even 6.5, if we didn't have the magic in the penultimate day. The games started with a silver and ended with a gold, so only good vibes will stay now, but the few days in the middle have been very depressing. 

2. Suprises : The Men's HOCKEY BRONZE! I can't overstate how crucial that was for the future of the sport in India. Now the required investment will come, there will be rise in interest about it and I think we can get a world class team in a few years. Upwards from now.

Although we were hoping to reach Semi and in the process making a slight upset (if you call it that) against a better team (on paper and recent result wise). We finished second in the group and did beat the strong countries of recent times. So a nice effort.

Lovlina's Bronze in Boxing is a bit surprising but not much since she was favourite to reach QF, and then we were rooting for her to beat atleast one of the seeds. Good that she avoided Turkey and China both. A lot of credit to her and very important for Boxing in India, after the loss in interest due to lack of results and also absurd scoring system.

Sindhu on paper wasn't a medal favourite, given the run she was in, but we always knew she performs on big occasions. So, a very minor surprise.

And, FINALLY, Neeraj Gold. Honestly I wished if he can get atleast a medal, so that we will have the first Athletics medal of independent India and one without a controversy (GB claims Norman Pritchard's 1900 Paris medals as theirs, although IOC gives them to us). Sad that Milkha Singh just passed away and couldn't watch this historic moment.

Surely, I thought Gold is not in the cards, as there was certain someone named Vetter competing, but what a result and what a disaster for Vetter. 

Heartbreaks : Well, a lot, which could have made this Olympics one of the worst, in terms of not sustaining the momentum (and also, funding). 

Shooting Team. Well, they performed their absolute best in the WCs and we were one of the top nations in terms of medals (if not the TOP). We didn't get anything in Mixed Team Pistol after winning 5 golds and a Silver in the last 6 WCs (also second team won some bronzes and a silver I think). Now there is a lot of in-fighting coming up to the surface. Well, I hope they recover. 

Amit Panghal - He just ran after winning the first round. Really pathetic performance as a world no 1.

Vinesh - Don't know what went wrong with her.

Mary - Didn't expect a medal honestly but was hoping against hope. Really a tough, controversial, and heartbreaking loss to take. But salute legend, for what you have done!

Both Hearbreaks and Surprise:

Women's Hockey Team: Well, the way they reached SF beating Australia was superb. First time in Olympic Semi and then lost two close matches (especially the bronze one). Heartbroken but proud.

Aditi Ashok (Golf): Absolutely devastated the way she lost her medal. She had no right to be there among the medals for three straight days with a world ranking of 200, and weak tee shots. But she did unbelievable, heartbreaking how the ball didn't went in, in the penultimate hole in the last day, which cost her the medal. Didn't sleep the night to watch golf from 3am and was absolutely depressed till late afternoon before Bajrang's medal and then Neeraj's magic. Anyway, Hats off Aditi.

3. We had three targets I guess.

First double digit medal haul - which we didn't manage to achieve because our heavy favourites choked (apologies for the unkind word) at the big stage.

Better London Tally - Happened. This is our best ever Olympics.

Win a Gold Atleast - After all the disappointments, we got an unexpected gold from our last participant in the Games!

4. I see Hockey will now have greater fundings. Wrestling and Badminton will continue to have support, being the most consistent sports for us in the recent games. Bhavani Devi and Aditi Ashok made Fencing and Golf a bit popular in the Games, though not sure if they will be funded much.

Athletics, Boxing, Weightlifting can have increased fundings. Although a lot will depend on what IWF and IOC do with the latter.

We spent so much on our Shooters in recent years and I fear the Rio and Tokyo debacle might catalyse a fund reduction!

We wish, but we have +5 not +6 difference from Rio (2 to 7). It could have been better if our top medal contenders performed, but well.... can't complain much after how it ended!

Satish and Pooja Rani.

I added QF losers in boxing here too because it's essentially 5th place in a combat sport one shy from a medal.

Oh, then it's cool, good work

After Day 14 Rio: 264/306 events, 83 NOCs with medals

After Day 14 Tokyo: 292/339 events, 89 NOCs with medals

 

 

Finally,  Lithuania is on board as well. Let's make it a round number and find one more nation for the most diverse medal table in the history of the Olympics!

 

 China are going into the busiest day tomorrow with a 5 gold lead over the  US. The Americans have a lot of changes left catching the Chinese.

 Japan with a solid third place.  Russia with many solid chances left finishing 4th, with  GB possibly making it interesting until the end. 

7th to 15th place in the final ranking is very busy too with chances for all of them on gaining or losing places.

 

 Italy, despite a bumpy start, have no won more medals than on their home games in 1960 (36 total in Rome).  Canada tying Atlanta and Rio with chances left to win the most medals at a summer games (excluding the boycotted 1984 games in Los Angeles).  Poland improving on recent games too with most medals since 2000 (14 total in Sydney).

 

If the  Ukraine can't find another Olympic champion the next two days, they have been on a gradual decline in golds ever since 2004 in Athens.
