Very weak uneven bars....

8 will qualify for the finals....

India trail by 2 goals against Japan after the first half....

Surprise of the day...China not getting any gold....

We all over here are over reacting of the missed chances....We have to first show sportsman spirit...The essence of Olympics. All are there to get medals, Some have to win and some have to loose. We can show disappointment but not accuse or talk ill about the people who have sacrificed a lot to be just there. I can understand the disappointment of the fans, But we have to put ourselves in their shoes and think. My example of yesterday I was crumbling when Jitu and Mira were performing and was so hyper then imagine their nerves n pressure. So we all have to be calm and show disappointment in a better way.

My Day #1 Analysis Worst Performance :- Chanu A sure medal went up in smoke....Blame her totally for not getting the medal, Best chance for her n the country to have got a medal. Best Performance :- Sania/ Prarthana Well played and took the match to the 3rd Set. Though Dattu performace was the best result. I had to give to the spirit both showed in the match.. Hockey was not good performace but to break a jinx of 12 yrs without victory is a good feeling.

Paes / Rohan loose in 1st Rd...Bound to happen with so much negativity around these both....

Mouma Das struggling in TT in R128....

India score 1 - 0 end of 1st Qtr...

IND vs IRL started......

Dattu is 15/18 qualified to QF of Single Scull in Rowing....

Official website is good so far....

Dattu unless he improves drastically looks good only till QF...Hope he improves to give a good fight. I know he has better timing of 7.04 or so...QF will be more faster...

@Kiruphagaran That is called branding...Even after ISL majority of the Indians would struggle to name 3-4 Indian names. Take any sports all we have 2-3 names in all events and rest are not showcased. That is why we have people like Jwala trying her best to get into limelight. Force people to know you, Make yourself more present in social media, Be more presentable. Try to market yourself then only people will know you. Because only Sachin, Dhoni or Kohli have been top brands so they are role models and rest of the people only in books..

3 hours to go...For the action pack Day to begin in Olympics...

Its a blessing in disguise or pure luck, Deepika has landed in a best possible draw I feel with TPE girl in QF and Choi in SF. This should be ideal chance for her to get in the final 4....

Very sad with Deepika's performance. A top archer of her caliber missing a arrow and firing a 5 is a sign of nerves which I cant say. A #1 ranked archer doing this should be called a crime, But all are humans and nerves can catch anyone if not handled properly. Hope she does best in the main rounds....

Atanu would meet a Korean in 3rd Round.....Tricky opponent.

@sameerph This reminds me off the American if not mistaken in 2004 who just had to hit the board in shooting to get gold but shot zero to loose not only the gold but get no medal...he had a lead of around 6 I think...But he gained the best in life, He got an consoler in shooting partner who later turned to be his wife....

Main problem is mental conditioning for our athletes...They need to have psychological sessions...Deepika was just that case where pressure took toll on her...She accepted that fact indirectly..Can't blame athletes for that.....This is important part of training for international athletes, But Indians hardly get this...And then blame game of not performing...Sportspeople will understand my point...Fans are bound to be frustrated but all go for glory and not for fun...No one wants slip up.

"Nothing was wrong apart from the wind. It was difficult to follow and understand. I shot the arrow and it was a miss. Of course is not what I expected, but there's nothing I can do about it now," Deepika said after the event. This clears the doubt that she indeed miss the arrow and not the time out issue....

Show was not of that glamour quotient and not enjoyable...But made me go through the history of Brazil and got to know about it...I think that itself has achieved the purpose of the organizers. Expected better Samba section, But dint get much. Caudron lighting build up was not there. But the design was awesome...It came n got over so fast.

Hope we can open our account today...

Good work by Deepika n Bombayla devi.....in top 8...

No it gives IST timing...I am getting AST for me...
