Qatar believe it or not doesn't have many. They have one of the world's best sports programs and have improved the most. Their football team is top in Asia in the last few years, their runners and others have really improved. They have the world's best high jumper and other programs as well. rollingstoned 1

Also his throwing style looks effortless. He is a dark horse for Paris IMO. Will be a great contest for sure in Paris. With Jena getting better will be an amazing event to watch conditions were different.
Number Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Won 8 golds last times in Athletics. 6 so far here. Not good :(
bharathh Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Just now, randomGuy said: Tough but possible, depends on wrestling At 81 atm. Should make 100 IMO Compound archery should give us another 5 (assuming men's team & women's teams win, + 3 individual medals already booked) Mens bridge - 1 silver/gold Cricket - 1 gold Chess - 2 from the teams (gold & silver probably) Squash - 2 (gold and silver probably) Kabaddi - 2 (hopefully both gold) Hockey - 2 (hopefully both gold) Badminton - 1? (hopeful of 2 - doubles & singles .. but dicey one this. Sindhu would have to beat world #5 from China (doubtful).. Prannoy can beat Zii Jia Imo - although I don't know what his injury status is like. Chiragshetty and Satwik should reach the semis at least) Not counting Badminton we have 96 guaranteed medals IMO. Should get at least 4 more from Wrestling. If we don't we are in serious trouble for Paris coffee_rules, AuxiliA, nikrulz and 2 others 2 3

deepdynamo Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 7 minutes ago, cowboysfan said: is baar 100 paar? is it possible now? Believe its possible. 81 so far. Considering best case scenarios, Cricket- 1 Hockey-2 Kabaadi-2 Squash - 2 ( confirmed) Archery Compound - 4 ( we can win even 6 medals here but counting just 4 for now) Badminton -1 ( Sindhu & Pranay and hope one of them land a medal) Bridge Men Team -1 ( confirmed) Chess Men Team -1 So, These are 14. So 81+ 14= 95 medals. Then over to wrestlers to bag 5 medals. There are 14 wrestling events with Indian participation and we need 5 medals there to reach the target of 100. cowboysfan, randomGuy, AuxiliA and 1 other 1 2 1
bharathh Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Wow. Harmilan Bains gets her medal from PT Usha. What an honor! randomGuy 1

bharathh Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 We have quite a few athletes in the Ju-jitsu events as well. Could win a medal or two there. Otherwise don't see why they brought so many athletes.

Oh yes, Chess Women should land a medal also. Archery compound is 6 maximum - men individual gold AND silver, Both Women are also in contention ( Gold medal match and Bronze medal match) and then two team events.

bharathh Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Damn. Our draw with the Chinese today has put the Men's chess team in 2nd place. Iran comes from third to take first.
