It is 100% a choke, nothing to do with fitness or skills. You don't make school boy errors at this level, so many unforced errors, missing in service itself, even sending service over head to be a foul. These are nothing to do with skills, even a school boy can do these things. 

They have been the same in the first two games as well. Only difference was that they were way better to make up the errors as the opponent made errors as well. These Malaysians are known to be more consistent. They lost because of the errors and missed shots. It has been a problem from the first game in the Olympics.

Fitness. No fitness. After first game they were struggling

From 11-14 to 19-16 ...pic thrashing by Malaysians

Biggest choke. Losers

 

Chirag 

 

If I ever get a client with the name chirag, I will tell him to * off elsewhere.

Our people need mental conditioning more than anything. 24x7×365, otherwise get used to mediocrity for the next 100 years.

Revising my medal prediction down to 9 from 10 at this point.

Gave away 4,5 point lead in both 2nd and 3rd set

Neeraj and one more from anywhere. 

[Gollum]

Olympics so tough man. Heartbreaks also brutal.

[deepdynamo]

This was the best chance for Chirag/Satwik to get a medal. This was their peak.

 

They won't be next time.
