Madhusudhan 8 Posted July 7, 2021 #10913 Share Posted July 7, 2021 What an important day july 24th will be for india at tokyo olympics.... its overloaded with so many events for india and some of the events we are expected to win medals : Archery mixed team Weightlifting - Mirabai chanu Shooting - 10m Air rifle women and 10m Air pistol mens (Saurabh chaudhary) Hockey - India vs New zealand (Mens) and India vs Netherlans (womens) TT - Mixed dpubles round of 16 Tennis - womens doubles Badminton - Group stages Rowing Hoping for atleast good/better results on this 1st day unlike 1st day of Rio which was really bad and set the precedence for entire olympics One good thing is we have sure shot medal on 1st day in form of mirabai chanu if she completes even one lift in both snatch & clean and jerk!!!

Rio was unusually disastrous and controversy started even before the Olympics started - the Sushil Kumar vs Narsingh Yadav saga, Rohan Bopanna not wanting Leander Paes as his doubles partner and Dharambir Singh banned for 8 years. No major distracting news coming out except Covid related is a good sign of preparedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhusudhan 8 Posted July 8, 2021 #10918 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just read some where that neeraj will skip diamond league event in london because of covid restrictions in Japan for persons travelled to UK..... He will continue training in sweden until month end and directly travel to tokyo from there Ideally it would have been better for him to get some more competition as he was peaking slowly...lets see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhusudhan 8 Posted July 8, 2021 #10919 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Satwik and chirag are drawn along world no.1 indonesian pair in mens doubles badminton In one way its good that even if they finish second in their group they will avoid this pair until finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddhartha Talukdar 123 Posted July 8, 2021 #10920 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Olympic Badminton Draw is out Men's Singles: Sai Praneeth is in Group D with Mark Caljouw and Misha Zilberman. The match against Caljouw is tricky but Praneeth should win. He is then expected to meet Ng Ka Long in the Round of 16 Women's Singles: PV Sindhu is in group I with Cheung Ngan Yi and Ksenia Polikarpova. Again the match is tricky but Sindhu should win. She is expected to meet Kim ga Eun in Round of 16 Men's Doubles: Perhaps the toughest draw as Satwik-Chirag pair are in Group A with Minions, World no 3 Lee Yang-Wang Chi and Sean Vendy-Ben Lane.
