LordPrabhzy Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 If we win even one medal, I will do nothing I have no hope for our hockey teams. Tennis is virtually over No one of substance in boxing or weightlifting Possible medal in wrestling/badminton/shooting. I thought we were actually improving after Beijing and London.. clearly not. Will always remain the laughing stock of the world in Olympics. I actually feel we should not send anyone apart from the Hockey teams as we are clearly never going to be medal winning standard. Why waste tax payers money to bring disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi_91 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I am an optimist, but the early trends are disappointing. Not looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomGuy Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Boxer Shiva thapa is ranked 2 or 3 in the world...so may some hope here as well. In archery I thought one should go with the attitude like 'tera kuch nahi ho sakta bhai' then only you can perform , otherwise there's too much pressure.

Archery team had an outside chance , but this is not the first time we have messed up in olympics ..last edition we where one of the favs but for some reason they have not translated their form and world rankings into a medal .

FischerTal Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 this is more of an indictment on sporting federations in india. it is not enough to increase your olympic contingent and be proud of that. there should be better focus on improving the quality of the athletes sent. most of our athletes would give south africans a run for their money in choking department.

The problem is not the athletes who are competing . As a country we only care about them once in 4 years & for most of these guys if they dont win a medal they will most likely struggle to meet ends . Most of these guys have qualified on their own and are either world class are close to being one . if we have to start translating these potential into sure shot medals we need a even bigger base .

Adi_91 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Very gloomy for India now. I doubt if we can win even one this time. Very disappointing. I looked forward to Rio this year with a lot of hopes and belief that we will win more than 6 medals at the bare minimum. Living in the US, Olympics is the talked about event now, but I have nothing to talk about my athletes. I feel very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, we should start working on providing good sports psychologists to our athletes to handle pressure. Most, if not all big names have faltered because of the inability to handle pressure situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
