One of their Prime Minister disappeared after going swimming in the sea (and was never found) and they named a swimming pool in his memory.

Any update on Indian events or any upcoming events? And when is the javelin final? Probably watch Javelin final along with the 100m, 200m and 400m finals. Other than athletics don't enjoy Olympics that much. Too much weightage given to swimming and gymnastics.

Pehle koi dubey to sahi... I doubt any Indian PM can be active enough to do any physical activity, forget swimming in the sea.

Track and field events should be towards the end of the games, so bit of a wait. 

 

 

We have a couple of final events tomorrow with medal possibilities, check the post from @Gollum
