Vijy Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 A pity that this thread is effectively defunct. I was looking forward to seeing our hockey in the olympics. had we played last yr, there was a decent chance of bronze.
Gollum Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 One month to go and not good news in wrestling Expected at least a silver from Bajrang Punia, he gets injured in a competition in Russia Olympic-bound Wrestler Bajrang Punia Out for a Week Due to Knee Injury
Gollum Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Archery WC going on in Paris, India doing pretty well. Catch live action on Sony Six. Abhishek Verma- gold in men's individual compound Atanu Das and his wife Deepika Kumari- gold in mixed team recurve Few more finals for India, hope to see more champions. Expecting a couple of medals in archery in Tokyo. South Korea will probably get all the gold medals, but silver/bronze up for grabs. USA, Italy, China, Russia, India, Mexico, Colombia, Netherlands, Germany have strong squads. Edited June 27, 2021 by Gollum Lone Wolf 1

Gollum Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 This thread isn't just to track Indian athletes. ICFers based in USA, Canada, Australia, England.....do participate and share Olympics related news from your countries.
Gollum Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 Tennis field is very weak, too many withdrawals from both men's and women's section. Now Serena Williams pulls out to join high profile stars like Nadal, Thiem in the withdrawal list. Packed schedule for them, Wimbledon just 2 weeks after the French, from grass to Tokyo and then immediately US Open.

Gollum Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 Old news but important for Indian fans, since this is Sindhu's nemesis we are talking about. Carolina Marin pulls out of Tokyo Olympics due to knee injury, to undergo surgery

We need to acknowledge in sports our mental health sucks Archery WC isn't like cricket WC, happens 4 times each year and then there is a final whose qualification depends on results of the 4 event/stages. This one was a stage 3 event. Didn't see South Korean archers, so easier for other countries. South Korea is to archery what USA is to swimming or Great Britain to cycling, usually sweep the gold medals. Yeah agree that psychologically Indian athletes aren't up to the mark. Very few exceptions.
