bharathh Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Tomorrow potential medals Compound Archery Mixed team should medal tomorrow. Hopefully gold given the form of Vennam and Ojas. Ojas was perfect in 2 matches to reach to final in the individuals. Recurve Mixed team is also in the QFs.. but we have been disappointed enough by them to know they are not a sure thing. Squash (Hopefully we don't win any of these as that would mean they get to the finals) Mens semifinals Mixed team semifinals x 2 Athletics Mens Javelin - potential for 1-2 with Neeraj and Jena Womens 800m - Bains & Harmilan could win silver/bronze 35 km mixed team walk - there are only 5 teams - so India could win a surprise medal here Mens 5000m - Avinash Sable could medal here hopefully. Is in great form 4x400m Womens - unlikely medal - maybe bronze 4x400m Mens - Not winning gold will be disappointing Boxing Parveen Hooda in the semifinals. Hope she wins to get final.. but likely bronze Bridge Mens team - Gold/Silver Wrestling (Greco-Roman) Hopefully a couple here - although not our strong suite. Haven't won a medal in a while randomGuy 1

Rounds to go though. Tomorrow will be important to decide the men's team's fate. They play China. Women's team lost to China. Mariyam 1

randomGuy Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Annu Rani threw ~63m in javelin...this throw will get her rank 4-9 in Olympics 2004 to 2021. But if she throws 66m , she is a contender for Olympics gold ...
bharathh Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Compound Archers on target. Get through a persistent Malaysia to reach the SF. That was a tough game that went till the last series where the Malay lady succumbed to pressure and messed up her last shot.
