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
 

Repeat of Neeraj Chopra gold will be the most satisfying thing for the country after so many quarter final losses accross

different events.

Whatever I saw, nikhat seemed the best prospect after Nishant 

 

Nikhat unlucky with draw, Nishant with judges.

Oh yeah. Sorry my bad

2nd set is opposite of 1st. Alcaraz finding it hard to hold serve, while Novak is having a breeze.

Marin out of semis after injury. She was winning. Now the other losing semi finalist will get a bronze without even playing. 

[Vickydev]

Wow that rally for the final point. What a win for the Malaysians

[Number]

Chia Soh win. Absolute dog fight in the end.

[Vickydev]

This pair beat Chirag and Satwik i think. (I missed that match)

Unfortunately she is over 30 and her time is up. Opportunity lost.

 

But then Mary Com played till 37 so if she has some fire then maybe one last chance of redemption in 2028.

Some of these Gymnastic events are just ideal for tiny people

I have a close friend who is Taiwanese. She says its more hype than actual bitterness between china and taiwan. Both travel to each other countries. Taiwanese are very polite
