Overall a better performance from Indian athletes across all competitions except for Shooting. Even Archery was better than last time I think. And boxing more or less par with the 1 medal. So improvements.

Imo, belittling cricketing achievements is wrong, but it’s absolutely okay to criticise the lack of achievements in a sport where you have virtual monopoly, best sporting infrastructure, well compensated athletes, etc. If Hockey had even 1% of the infrastructure and funding Cricket receives, we would have won medals at every Olympics and world championships post 2000, with many golds

Cricket doesn't receive any funding from govt.

He went fast too early according to the commentators. Same thing happened with the Chinese guy - tried to trailblaze and although he was leading by almost 15 secs around the 12km mark fell way back. The Italian and Japanese kept beautiful pace. Very creditable try by Sandeep. Better than veterans Irfan and the other guy who got lapped

Belarussian who beat Vinesh is up next. Hoping for the best.

She is stronger than the Chinese lady too... Apparently she took a break after the 2012 Olympics to have a child and get a college degree!

Sometimes I guess you get carried away. Same happened with the Chinese dude.

Crap... the Belarussian loses to the Chinese in the last 5 secs.. Vinesh is out

Thus is a massive massive disappointment. Amit Panghal and Vinesh Phogat was odds on everywhere in every betting odds to win a medal.

Hold on. So you are saying the guy who holds the national records for 50 km and 20 km racewalk doesn't know how to run? Comeon, go easy there. Maybe emotions got better of you there :p:
