Lovlina in boxing 1 more from boxing 2 from wrestling Saurav Ghosal unless he faces the Malaysian in the semis. Men's doubles in squash. Mixed if we are lucky. 1 or 2 from Archery. Atanu Das seems to be in great form. Vennam in compound archery women also looks great. Maybe 1 team event as well Men's chess team if they continue this way 4 x 400m men Triple jump men Decathlon looking good for gold half way through Maybe a couple more unexpected ones like Annu Rani in women's javelin Edited October 2, 2023 by bharathh randomGuy 1

Tejaswin if he wins 400 m will win gold as he is leading after 5 events in Decathlon 2. India's Asian games record is 16 golds and 70 overall in 2018. Should easily beat that. 3. China's gold medal tally of ~150 so far is close to all other nations combined. In 1990 Beijing Asian games china had 183 golds , India only 1 (total medals arnd 23). I think we would reach rank 2 in 15 years but still will be significantly behind China. 4. @Gollum this is the fittest ever hockey team I have seen. Muscular and lean....I bet everyone has a 6 pack, has high strength and stamina. Results are just a consequences of this. Football and volleyball teams should take a cue.

Muscular and lean....I bet everyone has a 6 pack, has high strength and stamina. Results are just a consequences of this. Football and volleyball teams should take a cue. 1. rank 2 should be done by 2040. mostly medals are swimming, cycling etc. we should have current China level living standards then, but with more people than China have now and also younger. Korea and Japan will have aged further with population declined. rank 1 maybe near 2060. india should 0.83-0.84 hdi then with china having 0.93-0.94 but 0.93-0.83 gap is smaller than 0.83-0.73 gap. also we'll have 500 million more people, also younger. 2. fitness can be seen in other sports too. squash team looked like units. even cricket guys are fit. as india becomes richer and nutritional levels increase, indians in general will be taller and stronger than before. plus couple that up with modern nutrition and training. hockey we can be perennial gold medal contenders in a decade if proper steps are taken (HIL revival, expansion of pool - now only punjab/orissa etc). even the women's team can be world beaters in a couple of decades. and the same can be said of cricket tbh - our women's team is almost at australia level, just keeps losing by close margins.

bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Started out great in Archery so gar Aditi Goswami and Vennam thru to the individual women's semi in compound archery. Unfortunately, they both meet in the semis. Deadly both of them. Reminded me of the Koreans... That said two koreans will face off in the other semi if they win.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Yashasvi Jaiswal piling on the Nepalese bowlers in cricket. Entertaining innings Both Indian ladies including 1500m silver medalist Bains top their heats to the finals. Mens Kabbadi team showing the women how to put away their opponents. Killing BD right now. Ends 55-18 Sepaktakraw Indian men (4s) playing S.Korea. Can't imagine how they play this game. It's volleyball without the hands. Crazy stuff. randomGuy 1
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Decathlon athlete Tejaswin Shankar was apparently India's High Jump specialist who moved over to this sport. Currently in pole position with a lead of 150 pts after 6 events. 7th (Discus throw) on now.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Gaikwad departs after a slow innings. Tilak Varma out to an ugly hoick after wasting 10 balls for 2 runs. Jaiswal batting a different wicket
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Men 4 x 400m team stroll into the finals. rollingstoned 1
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 3rd wicket down... Indian batsmen other than Jaiswal are finding it hard to get the ball off the square.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 100 from 47 deliveries with a six for Jaiswal.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Abhishek Verma the compound archer in a shoot out with the Kazakh. Pity. He was up tlil the 4th series. Kazakh really held his nerve.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Abhishek takes the shootout with a closer bulleye. Damn these sports are tough. The targets are ~50 -75m away and all the archers score 10s for fun.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Nepal set 203 to win after Rinku Singh and Dube take 25 off the last over. Should be an easy win.
bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Indian ladies 5-0 up vs Hong Kong in the second qtr of hockey. Great start for India this morning minus the loss to the Koreans in Sepaktakraw
