I was so annoyed with English commies.. The way they were hyping those England players lol... Crowd was so much in favor of home side... Amazing test of nerves for our TT players. I thought Sathyan almost bottled it but damn that final set was a ride. rollingstoned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England always has a bias against brown Indian dogs... Example when India lost the penalty shootout against the Aussies, the English commies were like the Eng vs Aus final is the final EVERYONE wanted to see.. implying that and India England final is not worth their time.

Number Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 61 medals 22 golds Excellent performance by Team India in the absence of shooting. More so when Neeraj Chopra was missing and Manika Batra was way below par. rollingstoned, Lord and Sandz 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier, I used to be impressed by them but now not so much. Australia has more than 50% of it's golds from cycling and swimming. Imagine if we had Greco Roman wrestling as well as all the weight classes you see in World Wrestling Championships (30 medals). We would have 15-16 golds from there. Imagine if we could have multiple entrants for each field. Imagine if it was more than 30 medals but same as swimming (52). We'd have 25-30 golds from there only.

No doubt India has much more breadth now. From asian sports like TT, Badminton, to power based sports Wrestling, Judo, Boxing and Weightlifting and now even Athletics. Hope we get more depth in these and start winning medals at Olympics level in all of these. Sandz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vayuu1 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Focus should be on swimming from now on,if we work on this ,i mean i refuse to believe we don't have talent to perform well in this, plus u don't need expensive equipments like say in other events,we surely can work on infrastructure and identify areas like say north east,areas like Jharkhand,i am sure if we work on this by say next 4-5 olympics we will do well in both swimming and athletics and europeans and Americans will again decide to drop these events.

Sandz Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Man I missed out watching the fabulous hat-trick of gold medals in Badminton today! But am glad that I missed out on the hockey embarrassment, I just read that India didn’t get a single penalty corner, utterly shocking performance, it’s a mental block they have against the Aussies as they can’t be this bad. rollingstoned and randomGuy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgium, England and Germany do better against Aus because they can match their speed. Aus are brutal against against slow teams. We are skillful but too slow for them.

It takes a while to be that good. Chinese have started challenging Goras in recent years after hell of a lot investment. Infrastructure matters especially in those synchronized swimming events. Never figured why are we so behind in cycling... The Asians as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimming and other aquatic events make up 1/3rd of overall olympics medals which is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
