Need some fresh blood in the team. He has been a great ambassador for the game Also in the semifinals he did beat the Nigerian#15 in the world. That was pivotal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 We won 9 medals including 5 golds in Weightlifting in 2018. Doubt we will be able to match that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollingstoned Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Been a pretty good day so far and the mixed team badminton final is left. Highlight today was definitely lawn bowls, doubt i have ever spent this much time being intrigued despite not knowing what the hell is happening or what is supposed to happen in this game. But by the end i got some vague idea. it seems to be a cross between golf and bowling, very interesting. I saw how much it meant to the women yday when they beat Nzl. Vikas did well but that Samoan was on another level, kinda like Chanu in her weight category. You can't complain when you finish 2nd to something like that. If Punam Yadav had completed a clean and jerk lift which she almost did then i feel she also would have won a medal. bharathh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed out, one of thse things that takes a long time to complete but is very satisfying to watch. This Malaysian duo seem to have the measure of these 2, will be hard to pull out. bharathh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a 3-2 result either way. rollingstoned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordPrabhzy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Sindhu is making so many errors.. shes making her opponent look much better than she is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollingstoned Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 That game got a whole lot closer than it looked like it would have. Sindhu somehow won the game but the momentum is with the Malaysian girl. She was finding deep angles as the game went on and went on a 7 pt winning streak.

bharathh Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Sindhu wins.. She wasn't looking fit. Looks like lack of sleep.. Had dark circles under her eyes. She finished the game like the champ she is. 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Technical errors by both the women today in Clean and Jerk rounds leading to no lifts. Hope coaches look into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 If Srikanth loses this, it is total choke. Losing to a player far inferior to his quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
