Golf enthusiasts, few small doubts.   How many types of golf clubs are there? One for long distance, one for short putting? Do they carry their own golf balls or does the event organizer provide them with designated tournament balls?   Do they play the same 18 holes on all 4 days here, or its it 18x4=72 different holes?   Are PGA/LPGA golf courses much larger than this Olympics course, hence with higher par for every shot? That could explain why Aditi with her stron

man. cricket feels so slow. even t20. :giggle:

Indian women's hockey team has higher yo-yo standards than Indian cricket (men's) team. Indian women's hockey players acing the yo-yo test (3 years back, now gap must be wider)

The scores have not only been encouraging but have left the coaching staff pleasantly surprised. The highest score was 21.1 - reached by four players - while the lowest was 17.7.

Lombard, who has been with the team since March last year, pointed to the improvement in the team's yo-yo test results and said, "When I first arrived, the team average was about 17. It went up to 17.5 and now it is just above 18. We also have seen improvement in their strength as well as speed over the last couple of months."
Asked if they had set a passing mark for the players, the South African explained, "Each player has their own individual target which we match up against position specific norms according to international performance standards. Individually, I look at something called smallest worthwhile change, which is seen as statistically significant improvement. This is adjusted after each testing round, so we look for small improvements all the time."

 

Only Hardik, Kohli, Pandeyji score above 18 IIRC. Does Shaw's score register @maniac?

 

Cardio conditioning in hockey is next level, imagine sprinting non-stop often with sick change in direction, on water filled astroturfs. I am sure the most unfit hockey player in Tokyo will match the fittest cricketer in the world right now. Jonty was this amazing fielder and he had hockey background. 

 

Half our cricketers don't even move like high school athletes: Pujara, Ashwin, Shaw, Bumrah, Shami.....

Enjoy the occasion dude, they have already overachieved. Moments like this won't come often, who knows next time we see such an important match, you may not even be interested in sports.

India women are ranked  7 punched way above their weight. They are already winners. Bronze will be icing on the cake. Jeetna haarna kya hain! Zindagi lambi hain
