He too is a brilliant athlete. Has decent chance of qualifying to final. 

Asian Games 2018, now improved even more and throws 84-85m consistently.

He is like steve smith..he can suddenly crank it up n inevitably stuff his opponents without breaking a sweat..

 

Looked under pressure here though.

I think Germans have good competition within their country in this game.

Rohler (Rio gold medalist) and Hoffman are as good as him.

Yes ...best throw of all 16 athletes in his group... 86.x in 1 attempt.

And 86.x itself is worthy of a medal (silver,bronze), if he can repeat this in final

 

For gold 88-90 m throw needed as seen in past 5-6 Olympics

Man Indian athletes are so good with such little resources and poor funding. 

 

Imagine when india actually becomes a wealthy nation like the West. 

 

Haha.

he is decent too. but like i said asian games athletics isn't a good benchmark. cwg somewhat cause aus, nz, sa are decent at athletics.

[deathmonger]

i think this is our best olympics so far even if medal tally is less than 2012 (hopefully not though).

 

we had chanu/chaudhary on first day. chopra/bajrang on last (bajrang if he gets into final or repechage). and other events in between.

 

so its an olympics where almost everyday we had a potential medal contender playing. and that makes great viewing.

85m is good for any level of competition. That Pakistani guy even threw an 87 recently.

i thought he was standard pakistani hype machine when i checked his 2018 asian game scores where it was mostly 70s. but seems to have improved a lot.

Yeah he keeps improving. One of the rare quality athletes from Pak in the last 20 years.

Great to see a 20 year young Indian Golfer participating. Commies all over praising her on this girls route to olympics.
