It does feel developed though.

Circa 2009, I was there as a tourist.

We took a train from Xian ( which had totally forgettable terracota soldiers and some hill with a monastery  ) to Wuhan ( which had nothing much and was probably incubating the Corona virus then). The intercity railway system was top notch even then. Timely. Clean. Easy to book. Far better than Eurail. And safe ( we were 5 girls in our late teens/early 20s) .

I know it's a bad metric to judge 'first worldness', but in terms of infrastructure, its visually very modern.

 

Yeah, the coastal areas and outer states are quite well developed and have living standards similar to Portugal, Greece etc. inner states are poorer. Averages out to “second world”.

 

tbh same could be said of india. Southern states vs the Hindi heartland. Although both are not similar to Chinese levels the gap is very much there.

So I'm assuming we'll end up with only 2 medals this time? Like Rio? Any chance of surpassing or equalling London tally? Any chance of a gold?

Naah. Should be more than 2. Would be surprised if it isn’t.

Tajinder Singh Toor has a chance in shotput ?

His personal best is 21.45 mtrs just last month. In Rio bronze was 21.35 mtrs.

What a way to introduce the athletes for the 100m women's final. Stunning

Tajinder's 21.45 is the 15th best throw this season. Shows you the insanely high level of competition.

In All honesty I guess indians got high when we won a silver in day 1 even before everyone across the globe woke up. It created hysteria and we started assuming it will be a medal rush forgetting this is olympics and every participant is good and anything can happen on the day..this created immense pressure along with expectations across the contingent..

it won't be a chokejob for Sindhu as she's not the favourite to win.Unlike Kohli's men.

In icc wtc india choked. Here if sindhu loses ot ll be as per rankings not choke. She is 6. Tai no 2

Tai Tzu is better than Sindhu, enjoys match-up advantage, huge H2H lead, got more rest because of schedule, what inevitable chokejob are you talking about?

 

 

You guys misunderstood my post. 

 

I was explaining why I'm less nervous during an icc knockout because of the obviously inevitable chokejob by Kohli and co

Like I said. First create indian institute of sports design to churn our athletes just like every other top nation.

 

We have IiT. IiM.

Need one for sports mate. 

 

Then we can talk about medals. Not to mention funding. We need that in abundance. Not just some bullshit government job as incentive.

Indonesia has 2 top ranked pairs in Mens doubles and none of them could win even a Bronze.

If we were heartbroken with Archery, Amit Panghal and Shooting think how would Indonesian fans would be feeling.
