Wow. unlucky to be in Neeraj's shadow. Comes across as a calm dude. Asian Games silver is confirmed for him.

Vickydev Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 There is nothing like track and field events.. Tuned in for Neeraj and now I am watching the Ukrainian girl grab gold in High Jump and that Ned 4x400 relay performance.

If he achieves all this he will be the ATG athlete India has ever produced Neeraj missed 2022 CWG because of injury. He won 2018 CWG gold though. He won the silver in last year's world championship, maybe you are confusing with that.
bharathh Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 India has started this edition with mixed results so far in the prelims. The football team got hammered by China 5-1. The men's volleyball team beat past champs SKorea and Cambodia to qualify for the knockouts In Rowing, 5 teams out of 10 have made it to the finals In pentathlon - our sole representative is in 28th place. randomGuy 1
Lone Wolf Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 Football game was depressing to watch... Heard players were jet lagged & it was severe unprofessional show from Football association. I don't know the deal with clubs & availability. Losing 5-1 to Chinese is bad bad performance. We are never competing with them in Swimming & synchronized events in next 30 years at least. Economic gap is way too much. Team events should do much better though. You can punch above your weight in team events.

First choice players were not available as ISL teams refused to release them- its like MI or CSK refusing to release players for India matches Lone Wolf and randomGuy 1 1
Gollum Posted September 20, 2023 Author Posted September 20, 2023 Maybe @randomGuy was right, we overhyped the SAFF result. 1-5 against Japan or South Korea is acceptable. But against China, disaster. We lost the women's football game 0-8 against the Koreans. randomGuy and Lone Wolf 1 1

Indian soccer players do not have speed, stamina, skill, strength etc....that is my honest interpretation.... they can beat upto rank 70 teams and dominate Pakistan etc who are much worse.... For future, I believe Delhi kids will have to step up for India to become a top 10, top 20 team, as I see kids in Delhi play soccer in parks much more than cricket these days...most of the rest of the metros don't have as many parks to begin with unfortunately. I am kind of desperate for India to do significantly better than present in soccer. Norman and Gollum 1 1

Was quickly browsing through reddit when I saw this news and for some reason assumed that it was AG. Edited September 20, 2023 by Gollum
bharathh Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Action for today Indian women take on Malaysia in the QF in cricket Some rowing repechange action for those who lost yesterday and are out of medal contention Some sailing prelims In Football the men's team take on Bangldesh and the women's team take on Chinese Taipei Edited September 21, 2023 by bharathh randomGuy 1
bharathh Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 It's a bit disheartening to see weightlifting regress so much this time around. This time there are only 2 weightlifters (both women) who qualified including Mirabai Chanu. Wrestling is in a freefall as well. Shooting has also regressed quite a bit over the past few years. Not expecting a great Asian games for India this time around unless Athletics (where we have improved markedly) helps pull us up.
Gollum Posted September 21, 2023 Author Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Guess this is the official Asian Games thread now, changed the thread title accordingly. No more buildup, we are in the main event. @Austin 3:!6 bro, can you please sticky this? Thanks. Edited September 21, 2023 by Gollum
bharathh Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Indian ladies through to the semi-finals despite the rain causing play to get abandoned. They managed to post a huge 173/2 in 15 overs. Only worthy opponent for the Indian ladies would be Pak. Would be disappointing for them if they don't come back with gold. Rowers seem to have made it to the repechange finals for a higher ranking. No medals for them though unfortunately
