What a final day it is for India 1. Aditi finished in Amazing 4th position in golf 2. Bajrang getting Olympic bronze 3. Neeraj finished indian campaign in best way with gold!!!

Finally india got the elusive gold... Thanks to Neeraj Chopra...wowww!!!

Its hard to believe that vinesh lost the match in olympics to a non japanese wrestler that too by getting pinned down..... Am not saying belarus wrestler is not good wrestler but she lost her semis to chinese wrestler and vinesh defeated belarus wrestler earlier by pinning her down. She got over from her injury in Rio, won asian games gold and readjusted to new weight category by dominating her opponents other than japanese in last 2 to 3 years. So her loss seems more mysterious than any other indian loss at this olympics. All her hard work has gone in vain, but she has the age benefit and so she needs to come over from this debacle and redo the hardwork.

But for tomorrow bajrang should have the advantage as his opponent has to play twice with in an hour

Atleast in case of bajrang We had a hint that he was injured during training. But what about other wrestlers including vinesh....all of them were playing with lack of energy and defensive approach....none of the wrestlers including bajrang showed aggression in their bouts which has costed us 2 medals ... only exception is Ravi kumar who played wrestling differently. Is the lack of energy shown by wrestlers related to covid? But it seems mysterious. Today in 50 kg women's, Chinese wrestler sun overturned the deficit of 7-1 in second round with intention and aggression. I think she is same wrestler who injured vinesh in Rio.

Indian men's 4*400 qualification race is there today.... India seasons best is in top 3

Good news is Aditi retained 2nd position after 3rd day in golf after a brief stay at 3rd position

Our wrestlers playing so defensively and relying on slender 1 or 2 point lead is a big mistake..... Deepak, Anshu and Sonam all lost the matches which they should have won by playing aggressive wrestling I don't know whether it's fault of players or coaching staff.... even for that matter vinesh was also not aggressive enough. I hope bajrang will take note of above for tomorrow his bouts.

Its hard but we have to digest the fact that vinesh is out of medal contention now...this olympics is not for vinesh as she ran out of energy in quarterfinal and she ran out of luck in last 10 seconds of chinese vs belarus semi final match !!!

Btw any idea about Ravi chances against final opponent who is Russian and seeded 2nd...we know russians are technically so good at wrestling What are ravi chances against him as it will be one of very few opportunities for India to win gold at olympcis?

Are we really sure about Deepak's bronze....i know that he is up against San Marino wrestler in bronze medal match, does not know much about this wrestler but he has been seeded 3rd

Vinesh has continued the trend of all indian world no.1's (Amit, Deepika, n no of shooters) losing in initial rounds.... I hope she gets into repechage rounds!!!

I feel huge disappointment of vinesh loss is covered by brilliant hockey victory. For now we can celebrate hockey medal after 41 years!!

By some distance today is the best day for India at this Olympics: 1. Wrestling - Ravi Kumar entered finals confirming medal. Deepak punia is one match away and Anshu Malik is 2 matches a way from winning bronze. 2. Athletics: Neeraj Chopra toppe the qualification round with just one throw. 3. Golf: Aditi Ashok is in joint 2nd position after 1st day 4. Hockey: India fought brilliantly in their loss against 2nd ranked Argentina . 5.Lovlina getting bronze in boxing

unbelievable victory by ravi kumar after trailing 9-2 !!!

It's definitely greatest result at this Olympics for India ...Indian hockey women way to go

In men's hockey most probably we will be in 2nd place in our group and it seems our QF opponent will be either Great Britain or Germany

Deepika through to quarters in archery after defeating Russian opponent in tiebreak 6-5 Once more India will be facing Korea in quarters

This is becoming too much.... satwik and Chirag doing so well and still unable to qualify for quarter How on earth minions lost to Chinese Taipei pair in straight sets ...they took the match lightly it seems

Now all hopes on Amit and women's boxing team

That's what I was saying.... little bit unlucky and may be coach has a role here to look into ranking positions and give advise, otherwise we should be confident enough to beat Koreans... Had we avoided Koreans in QF including Deepika, there was at least one medal for us to take I hope Deepika performs up to her potential and reverse the trend of loosing to Koreans in QF.....it's now or never for Deepika

In Archery India lost the plot in 2 ways: 1. Atanu performing badly in qualification resulting in combination of Praveen and Deepika, where as atanu and Deepika were doing great as mixed team before Olympics 2. Knowing that Korea will top the qualification India could have avoided 8/9 , 16/17, 32/33 and 64th position so that they can face Korea only in semis... though it's not easy to do it but technically possible It hurts to see the teams in half other than Korea are the teams which India was defeating earlier

How on earth India drew Korea in quarters in all 3 key events mixed team, men's team and women's individual... Today indian men's team scored 58 in 2nd round and still lost it....that's standard of Korean archery

one more good news....mary kom through to round of 16 after good bout.... in round of 16 she will face 3rd seed colombian boxer

Finally a credible performance by an Indian on panic sunday....manika batra defeats 20th seed player in tough 7 sets
