Khel Ratna is yet to be declared. If Sindhu wins a medal, she would be favorite to win it this year. 

Sakshi Malik is already eligible for it..

Still atleast a week for the olympics to finish and indian participation only left in wrestling and badminton and maybe few athletics event. Thats what is the difference between good sporting nations. Today only one wrestler and a badminton match is there. For india to be sporting nation we must participate and popularize sport such as judo fencing swimming which are so popular througout the world and earn us medals. Its so sad that almost all our contingent is out and the games are far from over.

Another thing is instead of taking inspiration from china we must first take inspiration from countries like iran and other african countries who participate in few sports but make sure they win a medal in that event.

They train their athletes with the beat coaches. Iran is a superpower in wrestling and weightlfting and they will take the medals in that event. Likewise india whose sports awareness started at the 2008 olympics we were at the same stage as iran but now look at the difference iran is participating in sports and playing with the big boys.

Even if we start supporting our athletes now and finding new ones we will surely reach double count in tokyo. Sports to look at is swimming,judo,fencing,diving,rowing and we must keep getting better at what we r doing.

Thanks for letting us put our thought on this thread.

Do we any time participate in Fencing events .. I don't see indian in Asian Games too .. Sorry I may be wrong..

Vikas Krishnan also lost 3-0

Any one remember another Karmakar ... who finished 4th in Olympics .. its Joydeep Karmakar - 50 m rifle prone in 2012 London Olympics

Govind right... sorry I mean Karmakar..

True.. Finishing 4th is more Pain full and Even more pain full when she ask Sorry to every Indians.

I am sure more than 90% of Indian don't know how scoring for this Sport is done (Include me too) .. That's Speak about her achievement,  She deserve Khel Ratna Award this year  .. Even though she missed the medal.

Note: In Olympics year, By default they are eligible for Khel Ratna if they win a medal

Summary Day -8 India at Olympics

Most disappointing day ever. Looks like this Olympics is going to be most Unlucky ever we had before.

Athletics - 

Lalita Babar Stunned every one by Qualifying for Finals at 3000 meters steeplechase. First time any Indian to achieve it. 

All others fails again.

Shooting - 

25 m rapid fire pistol -  Gurpreet Singh fails to Qualify for finals after finishing 7th Only Top 6 will Qualify. Such a unlucky day we had.  But good show to by him today.
Skeet - Mairaj Ahmad Khan - No  different Story for him too. He missed the finals in Shoot out. 

Shoot out never turned to be lucky for Indians in this Olympics both in Archery and Shooting.

Tennis - Sania / Bopanna lost in semifinals after capturing the first set.

Women's Hockey - India lost to Argentina by 5-0.
`
Badminton - Mens doubles team had a first win against Japan today. but Womens double team end RIO Campaign by no win.

I feel proud of our Shooting team ... I sure they will come back Strongly in next Olympics.. I will explain to my daughter in detail as she will be 6 yrs old on that time.. 

Sure they will build them on this pain.. with no hope on tomorrow event .. We will concentrate on other games.. 

Never see Such a unlucky Olympics ever for India .. By the time we should have atleast 3 medals .. All shooters effort go in the no meaning.. I feel very sorry for them...
