Djokovic is the true GOAT. Anyone who still disagrees is a hater. Shame he doesn't get the same adulation that Federer & Nadal get. I used to be a massive Fed fan back in the day and even hated Djoker at one point but he won me over several times. Hope he wins this and ticks the last box left.

Coming 2nd till the last round of shooting and then shooting a 92 to not even end in the top 6 is choking in my book.

Not this one. But most of the Indians were not world class to generalize choking

Must say Hockey team has been the most clutch Indian representation till now along with Manu (even though Manu chokes in her last event. 2 Olympic medals in the same event isn't a joke). Kudos to Kusale as well. Clutch shooting in the final.

Not choke form Manu. Manu wasn't even a medal contender for any 3. Shooting is high variance.

Not fair? abey, ATP 1000 is also best of 3. Only 4 events in the year are best of 5, which are the grandslams, so this is very fair. Players play more best of 3 than best of 5 all year.

Chia-Soh when they get in rhythm, are so good.

Yes, Manu is clutch but on that particular day ( 25m event) even her clutchesness was not needed. Just average shooting was needed. All match, she was hitting 4 or 5 effortlessly and the last series she just had to shoot 3 but she couldn't. That's a choke for me on that particular day.

5 sets matches only possible when there's a day's gap between the matches, which happens only in Grandslams.

Djoker seemed to take the dick in his ass last two times in slams

Djokovic didn't bring his A game.

Bilaterals becoming boring, need tri series or quadrangular more. Especially after a wc.

Yes...I miss those CB Tri series that used to happen earlier in Australia. What's stopping idiot boards to host Ind-Lanka-Pak in Dubai or Aus-Eng-NZ in Aus or Eng. These bilaterals are a dud.

Sheer power and skill from Carlito

[Number]

Denmark men's doubles team blew away 4 bronze medal points and are getting hammered in 3rd set now.

How difficult it gets really, after losing match points. You are mentally shot.

[deepdynamo]

So what's left...

 

Lakshya sen Bronze

Hockey - Gold, Silver or Bronze
Chanu weightlifting Bronze ??

Neeraj Chopra - Gold or Silver or Bronze

& Wrestlers ..maybe a single Bronze

 

Best case scenario: 8 medals
Worst case scenario: 3 Medals
Realistic: 5 Medals

Hope Hockey team wins gold now. That will make this one somewhat a better Olympic than last one.

His last chance for Olympic Gold, a cjewel for his GOAT crown. He is not giving up an inch. Amazing A game.
