Nikhat already 32, pity she got such a draw. She may be past her prime in 2028.

Repechage is such a good system, takes care of lopsided draws. 

They cant have repechage in boxing as in boxing you can have head injuries if u get beaten to pulp by mike tyson and cant even participate. So thats why they give bronze to all sf s. Wrestling u dony have that issue. In wrestling its like a monster will smash everyone and go to final and win and if u are unlucky u are in his side of draw. So u get repechage.

Worse boxers than her will win bronze. Her opponent will smash everyone and win gold. Nikhat could have played her in finals 

Yes ..kismat kharab hai.Chinese was very smart. Landed 1-2 blows every round and maintained distance and solid defence.

From a twitter post. Applies only to urban ones though. 

 

Gotta explain from childhood in a tier 2 city, you will know why we suck at sports

Kid is born Go to school at 7 AM 2 sports period a week, one taken by Maths/Science teacher to complete syllabus or cancelled due to weather

The day we had sports, 200 students from various classes used to compete for one football field and mind you this was DPS, most expensive school of city

 

Coming back from school you go out to play with colony peeps, no infrastructure so you end up playing cuck games like one tip one hand cricket until some Buddha neighbour comes and shoo you away with "Ae ladka tumko padhai nhi hai"

 

Then you come back home at 6 PM, you see mom complaining to Dad "Ye padh nhi rha, 9th class aagaya"

Dad says "kal se iska khelna band" You get hauled into some deadass FITTJEE types coaching which you now have to go after 9 hours of Dihadi in school

You got to that coaching, learn jackshit, eat patties, Samosa come back home too tired and then sleep

 

The guys who had some talent at sport start killing their passion by Class 9th You ask them why aren't they participating in the inter school tournament

 

They make a sad face and tell you with half a smile "nhi yaar IIT nikalna hai"

These potential athletes don't clear IIT, end up at VIT, MANIPAL

 

Maybe things will get better next generation, maybe in the coming decade I have hope

Or emulate China

It is their strong suit. Chinese have been good in walking events since I started following the Games, 2000 Sydney. Both Chinese and Japanese. 

Yaar our village folks walks miles to fetch water why can't they channelise this to win a medal?

Indians never learn. In fighting for some position. Then no voting. Constitutional deficiencies in governance. Yeh woh and ur assocation gets blacklisted and your players get no seeding. 

Boxing probably wont be there in next Olympics so we are good there

[Real McCoy]

Looks like a loss fellas.

Because the water they fetch and drink is full of arsenic. No filtration
