Hitting 8 when team needed 10 is a choke. Both Ankita and Dhiraj hit same number of 8s and 10s. Just check the scorecard.

Agree Dhiraj messed it up in the end but we shouldn't have allowed Koreans to come back. Should settle early.

India ‘s first medal in Archery. Goli maro USA ko. They have so many medals 

An Indian archer from Rajasthan broke world record in 1992 and player Barcelona Olympics. Since then Indians are waiting for a medal in Archery.

The Indian ladka choked way more, the ladki was clutch in last 2 rounds. 

Yeah, I think starts matter too and Dheeraj gave a good start and finished poorly, while Indian lady started poorly but finished better.

 

Both were lacluster in different situations. But still decent since other eam Koreans were too good.

 

Hopefully they can win now.

Losing to Koreans is no big deal... That Korean dude was absolutely spot on when it mattered.

Ankita definitely raised hopes in that Third game but Dhiraj's that shot of 8 was game breaking in the end.

You just don't score 8's against Koreans and expect to win

Remember neeraj copra is still there

 

Surprised we don't discus throwers. We would do well in that. 

 

Shot put we have struggled too. Which is a surprise to me.

I would look at it this way. When the lady choked we still won. When the guy choked we lost 2 sets at a critical juncture.

We have Koreans on the mat , winning first set and 3rd set was ours...Dhiraj just has to hit 9 to equal it and 10 to win it. Just needed that shot and Koreans could have been defeated.

our last hope. Sindhu vindhu sab gaye. Some in boxing, they were a disappointment. Lakshya is another prospect.

Just feel players from both sides usually get better by 2nd or 3rd set after having shot many atleast 2-3 arrows by then. So if we can start of well together, it will be ideal.

Haha, other countries may be laughing at us like how even bronze is like literally a gold dust for us.
