thats not a choke. stronger teams come back.

 

did gb choke in hockey? or ind being the superior team with superior defense just held on due to skill?

this is 100% choke lmao. that is the definition of choke. stronger teams dont need to wait right till the end to win. 

england got lucky cause we got carded. we were the better team overall with 11 players.

lakshya is unseeded player.

i am sorry seeded or not. you dont go 7 nil ahead and then let someone come back. its mental here. nothing but mental.

indians always lose from winning positions- but in this case Sen has gone further than anyone would have expected and got beaten by a Olympic gold medalist. Danish freak so its not too bad.

Archery team need to be stripped of all funding and told to eff off

Sreejesh already announced that this Olympics is his last. 36 is too old bro. Have to think of 2026 WC.

 

Krishan Bahadur Pathak is a promising young GK, mentored by Sreejesh. In bilaterals, AG, AC, ACT, Pro League, Sreejesh and him alternate with keeping duties every quarter or half. So he has sufficient experience as well. Transition will be smooth, Indian hockey is well managed in that way.

 

Next ACT you will see our development squad players, juniors play....max 2-3 main team players will accompany them. Doesn't matter if we fail to win, but we will build for the future. 

 

Such an impressive approach in hockey. Creating good quality backups is the key. We do the opposite in cricket.

its called a choke. like indian cricket team prior to this year

Indian cricket team got fortunate it was Decadal chokers vs Generational chokers.

 

30 off 30 needed, no matter how well the bowlers bowl, 9.5 out of 10 times it requires a choke from the opposition, fortunately for India it was SA in the final.

[Chakdephatte]

Alex Sen. 

 

Eligible for India? 

[Kron]

congrats to the dane. he is nothing all that great. next guy can beat him 

lakshya himself can in a few years. 

[Vickydev]

Fcking Game raising giant. Serves like he is cradling a baby

[Kron]

very disappointed in lakshya. pathetic choke. i get it he is unseeded and all but he had this guy on the ropes. 

[putrevus]

If he loses this game also then, it is completely on him. He had chances to put his opponent away in both games.

[Kron]

danish powerrrrrrrrrrrr from the bigdane. too good now 

[Lord]

the guy is too tall and practically covers everything, so tough to beat

He's won many of his serves by doing it very gently and waiting for powderpuff returns. Not just a Smasher.
