nitinsanker 179 Posted August 28, 2018 #7152 Share Posted August 28, 2018 India Have reached the very improtant psychological mark of 50 medals .......................... now onwards to 66 which would be the best ever performance iau n asian games beating 65 which we won in 2010 gangzhau ....... I am not worried about the medal standing right now ............ as the number of weird sports is so many ....... and so many good sports have been dropped strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanjaydas 9 Posted August 28, 2018 #7156 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The Asian Games turnout of events is not bright for the Olympics. The sportspersons who failed include: Manu Bhaker Anish Bhanwal Pooja Dhandha Sushil Kumar Shiva Thapa Sonia Lather Deepika Kumari Manoj Kumar the list goes on... The Olympics qualifications begin now onwards. It will be difficult for these people to bounce back if they don't start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are losing medals in wrestling, boxing and shooting. The big guns are not firing with the Olympic qualification coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with boxing.....which is surprisingly under performing after good commonwealth games.... But i feel in wrestling and shooting we have done a good job... we won 2 golds in both sports where competition is at par with olympics (particularly wrestling) What i feel winning 10 medals at asiad games and none at olympics is a matter of concern.... last Olympics we won only 2 medals one in badminton and one in wrestling.... none in shooting and boxing Ultimate benchmark should be olympics.... in that way some of the medals(wrestling, shooting, athletics, badminton) which we won this time, there is chance we can replicate the same at the olympics.... in hockey and TT we have shown improvement Edited August 28, 2018 by Madhusudhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not get why you are saying we are doing worse in shooting ( last time we got a lot of our medals in team events which were not there here had they been here we would have got huge medals ....compare our ranking ( In 2014 we were 8th, this time we are third and if you look at just the olympic events we were 2nd ), I would say we have done superb in Shooting ....... wrestling we got more golds than last time so I think the performance is better - if you win gold at the asian games you have a good chance for medals in the olympic games , whereas if you win a bronze at the asian level it may be tough at the olympic level ......... boxing I do agree we seem to have done worse Edited August 28, 2018 by nitinsanker strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
