Still enough to be considered for it. He has medals at every other event, World Cups, World Championships, Asian games. 

I know most of these came as part of a team, but can't dismiss it like you did. 

Very few cricketers have got Padma Shri, ATGs like Sachin, Sunny, Kapil, Dravid, MS, Kohli, Kumble, Ashwin etc.

 

Many prominent chess players yet to get it. Neeraj Chopra got it after the Tokyo gold.

 

He looks like odd one out. Top Korean archers sit out of many of the events where India picks medals. A round 1/2 exit expert must consider himself extremely lucky to get this kind of recognition.

German hockey team defence is as good as their football team of yore.

Deepika also given Padma shri

Tbh her achievements on paper are far better, despite the subpar Olympics performance.

One opponent I want us to avoid in QF is Netherlands. We have better chance against Germans. Best case will be Spain, then GBR.

Just a wee joke 

 

[Gollum]

Dunno about what they have invested in sports, but is it right to use athletes in middle of competition for their PR? Ambanis are vultures.

 

 

In the Mid of Olympics, Madam has gathered Athletes for her Circus !!

Why Ambanis dont invest this money in grassroots for Sports or give decent Prize money to all the Athletes who participated in Olympics ?

Why they only use everything for their PR ? pic.twitter.com/YPCrVifCmZ

This was what I was mentioning yesterday bro... 

 

Agree with you the funding bit is incorrect in the tweet, they definitely invest in grassroots. No complaints there. 

 

But to have this in the middle of the games is just unnecessary. Luckily Manu skipped this, Sarabjot was present. They still have events to go

[neel roy]

15-18. Will lose the first game. Even match maybe

No,  bashing Ambanis is in vogue, flavor of the season. Karo to na khush - sab PR hain bhai!  Na karo to - Dekh bhai they spent 5000 crores on a wedding, with that kind of money India would have got 50 medals in Olympics. Aadmi karein to karein kya?

Circus in middle of Olympics is ok for you? Govt should have asked Nita Ambani to hold it at end of the Games. 

 

I never made any dig about Reliance's role in grassroots sports development, because I am not informed on that topic. But this timing is nonsense.

Nita Ambani doesn't even shake hands with people from lower classes. Many videos that expose these classist billionaires.
