Tbf swimming is a life skill. I repesct that. Gymnastics well it's great too. But why you need Synchronised diving? 

 

Diving single is ok.

 

Why double lol

 

And artistic gymnastics? They can use that for theatre and drama. Not sports

 

Also btw gymnasts get abused so much. I have seen coaches treat them very badly. Girls especially. 

 

I can understand the event and maybe 5-6 medals at most. But approx. 40 medals for the discipline? That's way too much. 100m athletics has just one medal. But in swimming you've 4 different kinds of 100m swimming - free style/front crawl, back-stroke, butterfly, breast-stroke. This is all cr@p. Why not have 100m for hopping on one lag? Or add sack race? Or tie both the legs together and hop 100m?

 

Same thing with Gymnastics. So many events which look so made up. They should reduce to 10 medals max for either. Not 80 medals.

Knee injuries are the worst, absolute career killers. It is what ended Federer's hopes of comeback. Nole's end may be similar, @Real McCoy @I6MTW, watching the tennis?

 

Yup knee was the reason Federer retired and it may well be the reason for Djokovic's reitrement too. I watched the match. Djokovic's fighting spirit is to be lauded. Tsitsipas' mental weaknesses is to be called out. He had 3 set points and didn't win the set. The response to fed fans 40-15 is hilarious but Fed played 5 sets against Nole at 38 and then 40-15 happened. What was Tsitsi's excuse.

Otherwise how else will goras get medals. Only reason most even win is cause of peds. Let's be honest. All this gene bullshit is rubbish. Yes better facilities nutrition etc sure and they are mostly rich or well supported withour much corruption. 

 

China is state sponsored and backed by communist regime. They don't count. They have their own doping program themselves. 

 

But I would much rather Asians win anyday over goraa.

37 events in Swimming is just way too much. Even as a swimmer who can swim all of them comfortably, I never get the logic why Butterfly or Breaststroke make it to Olympics. They are not the fastest way to swim. This is like having 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m frog jump race in Athletics.

We would lose there as well .Our problem is biology not the sport.

I have always believed that just like Kartarpur corridor, there should be a Heeramandi corridor, where Indians can go across the border and have a bit of fun. Similar to Tijuana for the USA.

 

Considering Pakistan's economy, I am sure many Pakistani will send their begums, ammis, sisters there. After all, 1 INR = 4 PKR. Hell, weak Pakistani men can also sell their asses.

There is no such data, you are going by SM trolls. There have many assaults in girls bathrooms by men who wake up and feel like they are different. But maybe that’s an outlier. The main problem is parents losing rights on their children as young as 6 years and the system decides their gender. 

Not a single reported assualt has taken place. This is the exact kind of lies I am talking about. Show me data or reporting that this has happened. There were multiple attempts to substantiate such claims and there is no reports about this from any country. The max couple were proud men who entered washrooms to peep or shoot videos. 

 

Dude you don't even know what trans even means, the boxer you brought up is intersex (in hindi we call them hijras), people who are born with mix organs at birth.

 

Yet you used them for some random trans rant. 

 

No system is assigning gender at 6, why do bigots always need to make the most ridiculous lies up, do they think everyone is as low iq as them and will believe them blindly?

What a rally in women's doubles badminton. Malaysia won the point against China, Indian origin girl playing for Malaysia.

Esha Singh is literally a kiddo. Just 19 years of age. Already Silver Medalist at Asian Games where she defeated a chinese.

No matter what they achieve or not achieve, can never praise the parents of such players enough. They make so many sacrifices.

Here's 2020 same event for comparison -
