I agree for Badminton and TT.

 

Yes Denmark was missing - but in the Olympics you have more gimme games -vs the Asian games where the number of top Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Malaysian, Indonesians are higher. In the Olympics you can only have top 2 from each of these countries. 

Yeah massive achievement...  There's no easy draw in Asian games when it comes to Badminton

Best performers

Kabbadi, Cricket, Compound Archery, Squash and Equestrian, Athletics.

 

Compound Archery, Equestrian, Rowing, and Squash IMO were beyond expectations. The Equestrian team could have won even more if their horses were not disqualified. The equestrian team had to fight a case to represent the country at the Asian games. They did amazingly well! The rowing team deserves kudos for their performance as well. 

 

Athletics was amazing as well. Despite facing a huge challenge from Bahrain, Qatar and Kazakhstan's imports they still managed to beat most of them and win tons of medals. Some of our field stars could have performed better though - esp in Long and Triple Jump

 

Gold in Badminton was unexpected. Would have liked Sindhu to at least get a bronze. Prannoy would have gone further if not for his back.

 

Biggest disappointments 

Aquatics not winning even 1 medal from 33 events

 

Weightlifting - For the small squad who were clearly just there for the participation including our best lifter Mirabai Chanu who was clearly not ready for competition

 

Boxing - esp men underperforming and our women champs not able to enforce their authority and reputation as world champs

 

Wrestling for how underwhelming the wrestlers looked compared to the gold and silver medalists,

 

TT for only getting 1 bronze. Manika Batra underperforming. Pity Achanta and possibly Sathiya going out without a medal

 

Indian women at Hockey for their shocking performance in the semis

 

Recurve archery for the individual and mixed team performance

 

Why were they there?

Not sure why we had to send a 16 member Rugby 7s team, 11 member JuJitsu team (they didn't even win 1 matchup), Taekwondo (1 win in all the events)

Lakshya sen should have played in individual event too ...the Chinese he beat in team event finals reached singles final also in an all Chinese final.

 

Apparently he lost to Srikanth for the singles spot before the games.

Even if competition is tougher here, I think the pressure in Olympics makes it tougher. Just look at our world class shooters and how they wilt away in Olympics, mental toughness needs to be at another level.

 

Actually if you take a close look at the Shooting medals, almost all our golds have come from the team during qualification (which don't exist at the Olympics). After qualification to the finals, our shooting team has converted their sometimes WR quailification scores into individual medals relatively few times. Even during the Olympics I've noticed that we usually do really well in the qualifications to the finals only to fade away in the finals itself - often coming 4th or 5th despite having a good lead going in. The men were particularly bad at this this time. The trend continues. Hopefully the number of golds will give them confidence though. 

 

The women were much better except for Manu Bhaker, 5th from qualifying first

India needs to develop athletes in swimming. It has so many categories and so many chances to get medals.

I remember once counting medals in all aquatic events like swimming, diving, water polo... they were 30% of all Olympic medals and here we have no representation.

So true, they have so many medals.

 

Swimming is one sport which at world stage is still dominated by white people.Chinese have overtaken everyone in Diving for sure.

 

Greg Louganis to me last great american/white diving champion.
