IMO that is wrong way to look at things.

 

They win one or two matches they are in knockouts so getting 4th place is not a a big deal.

You obviously haven't watched these olympics.

I cant believe still. Lakshya was 1-0 up and in second game 7-2.

i mean no disrespect. i am just so angry hey. its not lakshya. its a combination of other events. 

Looks like our medal tally has stagnated forever.  Won't even cross 3.  (Even those 3 are bronze & hv hardly any weightage.   I would rather want to see Ind win only one or two medals but those should be gold)

True but for our country that is hungry for success in Olympic, all these missed medals would have some sort of inspiration. Not fan of the approach as you correctly pointed but the fact that India can at least win medals across sports in Olympic.

 

True Gold Medal winners are hard to come by in a country like India which is not a sporting nation anyways.

 

Shooting is the only sport that is harnessing the potential. All others are just based on individual potential.

the guy who won today vs lakshya would have caused poblems for axlesen.

Missing commonwealth games. 

Everytime I took a breath, we won a medal.

Aditi Ashok has the potential to win a medal in golf, she missed out narrowly on bronze in Tokyo.

how is a gold in Golf going to help anyone? Professional disciplines like Golf and tennis don't need any investment, its the amateur sports that need it and can deliver medals realistically

[maniac]

Indians have done well from Indian standard. Get a degree and a cushy job attitude. Reached 4th or near medal many times:

I remember SAF Games. Then we would go to Seoul olympics or Barcelona Olympics and suddenly see 33rd position from a champion swimmer khazan singh

Very disappointing. Malaysian shuttler upped his game like crazy but at the same time Lakshya made him look much better.

Kunlavat vitidsarnnnnnn

 

Lol getting whoopee now by the big Dane. But he seems calm

Lakshya another choking tailunt 

[Real McCoy]

there is just two events worth watching really. one is hockey and the other is neeraj. again medals are not assured anything can happen.

Don't take the name of SAF games. That aberration of games should never happen anymore in our lifetime.

im afraid this calling it a choke has been done to death. this was not a choke. the other dude is the seeded player and he recovered from his first game disappointment to play great badminton

Any game where you don’t have the drive to win is a choke in my book especially when you are up against similar level of skill and talent.
