Neeraj 2nd in the Doha Diamond League with 88.36m. 4 women wrestlers qualify as well. 

I don't see them medalling this time.

Agree. 0 expectations from wrestling. Hopefully boxing steps up. Esp Nikhat and Lovlina

Really nice article on Amit Panghal. Here's to hoping he continues his fairytale comeback! I was wondering what happened to this guy. We need more publicity on our athletes like this so they can be helped.

Yep.. important thing is only a few teams qualify for olympics and India is one of them

Our people have no sense of aesthetics

 

Looking at the Indian Olympic Uniform contrasted with Mongolia's.

Damn does everything we make have to look tacky I swear. You'd think at least the olympic ceremony would look at least refined. pic.twitter.com/yyi56Nmoe0

Chanu's North Korean rival won't participate in Paris it seems, doping maybe? Some good news for her.

Seems like Wrestling has very little hype this time

[Vickydev]

Satwik-Chirag and Neeraj probably our best bets for Gold?

Wrestling has been under par in world standards for the last few years. The golden generation has become old and the new folks are not of that standard.

If our shooters have form they can win a few. But shooting is a fickle sport. 

[LordPrabhzy]

I dont have hope for more than 2 medals this time round

[bharathh]

Looks like the Shooting team is preparing better this time around

Fingers crossed we get some golds from this. Matter of peaking mentally at the right time. Capability wise no issues with the shooters.

@bharathh please open an official Paris Olympics thread in Cricket Talk for live tracking of all events, details etc, will get more visibility there. Mod already agreed.

Agree. Time for a fresh thread, about a week or so left for the games. Let's get everybody together
