Focus on golds that carry more value. I hope our guys/gals are also into gold and not content on bronze. its such a defeatist attitude.

Deepika Kumari hits more 7s and 8s than Bhajan. Bhajan did well against world no 6. Pressure was immense as both shooters shot an 8 in the final set. She just had to keep it simple. KL moment for her but well done...Bhajan..

Indians must practice what we preach.

 

Bhagvad Geeta's essence (karm karo, phal ki chinta mat karo), yoga, breathing exercise (pranayam).

 

Djokovic talks so much about how conscious breathing helps him in crunch situations, how it helps him live in the present  and removes jitters. Our people need to use such tools to improve their clutchness.

Gold requires ability as well, most of our athletes aren't at that level, yet.

+1. Neeraj like players should always go for the win even our hokcey team. I give our archery team a pass since we are making baby steps into this field.

Deepika will face a Korean archer in QF. Might as well not watch at all

Ability is also the issue, on their best days how many can call themselves as best in world in their sports.

Dont give up lads... Deepika is having some spicy Ramen to prepare.

 

The Korean is going to shake in her boots seeing her 8s and make 6s in return

They are. They just choke. Hint of pressure and they become kelaa.

Nole even admitted that he faced pressure in crunch matches against the best players like Rafa and Roger and not to mention the hostile crowd who were baying for his blood. He also said in a recent interview that mental strength is not natural and it takes effort to do it at the highest level. The takeaway from that is that anyone who can put their mind into it can achieve success, however small they maybe. Even if it results in failure, one can be pleased with the fact that they attempted in the right spirit. That is the essence of Krishna's revelation to Arjuna.
