Will be happy with a medal even if bronze from shooting. 

Sift Kaur or Manu are the only 2 medal hopes in my opinion.

[randomGuy]

Manu 4th at half-way stage 

[Lone Wolf]

Manu Bhaker 2nd with 9.74-16x

[neel roy]

Rythm 26th. Good rythm.

Women slightly better than men at shooting, especially 10m air rifle, pistol. Low centre of gravity helps?

China second gold in 3m synchronized springboard. 

It takes China one day to win 2 gold medals    while it takes India decades to do the same.

 

That’s how far behind we are.

Iran since 1996 have won at least one gold medal in every single Olympics. We have won 2 in those years. 

[deathmonger]

so 2 medal events tomorrow right?

 

shooting and archery?

Hoping Sarabjot has better outing with Manu in mixed event. A good chance of a medal there if both of them produce decent performances.

We had 2x golds and overall medals of Iran in recent Asian games. My estimates say we should get 10 medals (abt rank 25 as per medals' count),  at 15 medals we should be rank 15-20 as per medals' count.
