Tough one tbh..

[deepdynamo]

Manu choked when it was easiest.

 

She just had to shoot 3 or higher from his last series. But she shot a 2 that give the Hungarian the shootout which Manu lost.

[Gollum]

Wraps up our shooting campaign, 3 bronze medals this time. 

[Real McCoy]

tough luck for Manu. fell at the last step. she could have fought for the gold I believe if she got all 5 right

[deepdynamo]

But still well Done Manu 

 

Your achievements in one Olympics are achievement of lifetime for others.

[Vickydev]

The French girl totally messed up in that shoot off.. Gold for Korea

[Number]

2 medals and one 4th place finish.

Can't ask for more from Manu.

[Gollum]

Nothing can be more cruel than 4th place finish in Olympics. That too when the margin may be fraction of a mm. 

[deepdynamo]

In this event,

 

5/5 is gold standard
4/5 is good
3/5 is average

2/5 is bad

 

Manu just had to hit 3 or more to win the bronze in the last series. I was celebrating. Manu is clutch so no way she could have gone to 2. But she did at that crucial juncture.

 

Heartbreak

Thought she would be most clutch here because of the two earlier medals. 

 

She was in gold position at one point during 4th series. 

[Gollum]

Just 22 yo Manu, she will only come stronger in 28 LA. 

[Gollum]

Aaj ke baad archery se jaan chutegi, wahi bahut hai.  

[deathmonger]

200th page here.

 

Tokyo Olympis+Paralympics thread went for 307 pages. Was active even a month after end of the games.

 

Good participation ICFers 

 

Good. Now an interesting thought came to me after i saw your post. If we exceed 307 pages, we will win more gold than last time. Come on ICFers whats the harm. its not money we are asking. pile on the posts until ICF breaks Do it for India and encourage our players through thick and thin. Lets go India

[putrevus]

What a performance from Manu.  Bad luck today but she will be a force in LA
