I'd rather we face Argentina than Germany. Argentina is more beatable. 

Really. This is loser mentality. We should aim to beat the best and aim for gold. Indians must be mentally conditioned to handle the pressure and bring their A Game to finish first by beating Germany.

easy medal if mirabai is fit. no 2nd chinese or north korean.

Weightlifting is an upset proof sport. Just don't trust the words of these coaches or practice performances. We saw what happened to Toor.

rohidas 1 match ban. hockey india is appealing.

 

so he will be back for the final (like ronaldinho who got red card against england in qf also)

[Gollum]

Don't take Germany to shootout, whether it is hockey or football.

If the refs were truly neutral I would be much more optimistic. But we all know what we're gonna get against Germany or any European country.

 

Biased refereeing is too big a hurdle to overcome.

The Showpiece event is here

 

Begin the lightwork

[Ultimate_Game]

Pretty cool!

Goras must be burning from inside to see a non-white team in SF. Unlike football, hockey isn't inclusive in these European countries, you'll hardly ever see blacks playing for Germany, Netherlands. Same true in women's hockey including in US, where it is dominated by whites 

[Vickydev]

Thompson, Seville, Lyles all look so strong.. 

Under 9.7 possible??

Olympics sprinting is all about "My country's black is faster than yours" with Jamaica ruling the roost

Very insular sport and they actively try to undermine non-white, especially Asian countries

[Vickydev]

Hope Lyles wins it.. Love him for the NBA comment

[Gollum]

Start the damn race.

[Vickydev]

The Frenchies are absolutely milking this.. Get on with it

[Vickydev]

Who won? 

[Vickydev]

Lyles wins it....

[Vickydev]

Or bronze medal match. Once bitten twice shy. For us 100 times bitten thats why i cry

[Gollum]

After Bolt's runs, everything is underwhelming no matter how good.

 

Feel for the South African.

[AKane]

Noah Lyles takes the gold by 5/1000s over Kishane Thompson.
