[vvvslaxman]

Alcaraz is killing Djoko with those drops

[nitinbwj]

5 of our players choked and no is telling me that Lakshya didn't choke. He was 18-13 in first game and 7-0 in the second and lost in a jiffy

converting that is not easy.

 

shooting etc can be called a choke cause you are up against the target so mental aspect.

 

badminton you are against opponent.

 

2022 wc pak vs ind, did pak choke or just come up against kohli?

He has choked massively, 92 in the last round. Out of contention

 

This is beyond belief.

 

If some one do better than your best then its all fine. E.g Manu Bronze medal. She shot a very solid 10.3 in shootout . But the other shooter was clutch and hit 10.5. Hats off and Manu has to contented with Bronze.

 

But in two consecutive days, we have two shooters just need to do very average shooting and they both messed up with terrible shooting.

Manu hitting 2/5 when all she needed was 3/5

Vijayveer hitting 92/100 when all he needed was 95/100

Mental conditioning. 

And guess what the other Indian participating, Anish would have also gone thru if he shot a 96 but he too choked and scored a 93. Man I swear if they ever introduce a sport called synchronised choking India will win left right and centre!
