Not sure why but I am getting a bad feeling about Javelin also this time.

 

why?

 

india hasn't done badly.

 

no one has really under performed. people have lost what they were expected to.

 

kusale/lakshya/babuta outperformed

[Number]

The 2nd goal was completely our own fault. It was brilliantly saved by Brijesh but Sanjay messed it up completely. Srijesh too should have communicated better.

I predicted 1-3 yesterday. I m happy with 1-2. Goal difference wont matter though 

If not 2nd, finishing 4th may be a tad better than 3rd. We have better chance against Germans than against Dutch.

Or gbr

Feel for our female boxers. Pathetic draws for no fault of theirs. On paper, Nikhat and Lovlina deserve bronze at least.

For that we have to finish 2nd (mostly), only possible if we beat Aussies tomorrow. And hope Argentine lose to Belgium.

For those who care, Praveen Jadhav has lost its Round of 64 match in Archery (6-0)

Only Bhajan and Deepika remains now.

GOI will give him Padma Shri. If Tarundeep Rai can get it, why not Praveen Jadhav?

 

Archers are our weakest links. All the hype, funding, awards, govt jobs etc.

Its strange but if you notice the moment we have won a medal in Olympics then suddenly politics , infighting and everything starts related to that event associations due to increased funding and exposure and money. Leeches starts appearing. Boxing association after vijender win. Same with wrestling after multiple medals. Same with shooting after 2012. Like medals have opposite effect. Only possible in India

For Indians, even participating in Olympics is an award winning achievement.

[Number]

Sift - 50 mtr 3 positions 

Manu and Esha - 25 mtr pistol

Anish - 25 mtr pistol (outside chance)

Not anymore, things have changed. Olympic medal is big but participation is not.

Earlier CWG medal winners used to get high category govt jobs but now they dont get it.

During Tokyo games @G_B_ was very active. Haven't seen him for many days here.

 

Hope he watched the Kolhapur boy win bronze today.
