Gollum Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) A bed-ridden rickshaw puller's daughter and conqueror of the toughest athletics event with a painful facial injury, Swapna Barman take a bow . She has 6 toes on both feet yet doesn't have customized shoes because of lack of sponsors and contacts. All our athletes are so inspiring, privileged to follow these superstars in action.

Gollum Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 In all my years of following Indian hockey this was the worst ever performance. Tactics in Q4 were baffling and zero energy throughout the game. Sardara Singh is the MSD of Indian hockey, don't know how many more matches his selfishness will cost us. Ruined my day. Adi BB 1
PBN Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Jinson Johnson wins gold in 1500m great acceleration at the end. As mentioned earlier, Manjit left it too late and very difficult to cover up that much of a gap, finishes in 4th
Gollum Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 Asian Games Champs get direct qualification to 2020 Tokyo Games, now we will have to go through the tough grind. Disaster of a day.
PBN Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Discuss throw: Seema Punia wins the bronze medal. 1500m: Chitra Unnikrishnan wins the bronzemedal. No major wins for India in cycling, judo and canoe today. Table Tennis: Mouma Das bows out in the Round of 32 of women's singles. Equestrian: Medal chances unlikely in the jumping individual final. Volleyball: India finishes 12th in volleyball after losing to Myanmar 3-2. Hockey: India loses to Malaysia in the men's semifinal. 1500m : Gold for Jinson Johnson Edited August 30, 2018 by PBN

Gollum Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) What is the use of pumping 76 goals in group stage if you struggle so bad in knockouts? India is world no 5, Malaysia no 12 but looked like converse out there. These tailor made penalty shoot outs we never seem to win but credit to the Malaysian GK Kumar Subramaniam, he was splendid.

Gollum Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 Was so looking forward to the World Cup at home this year, now don't care about buddies XI. And we shouldn't have let go off Roelant Oltmans, he was fired just because he was losing patience with the seniors and the buddy system in Indian hockey. sandeep 1
Stutter Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 What a fantastic 4x400m run by the Indian Women!!! Absolutely bossed the race! Kudos to Hima Das, Poovamma, Saritaben & Vismaya PBN, sscomp32 and Gollum 1 2
