Not watching. Did she pick up the injury during the game?

[Gollum]

Indians quit too easily.

Womens cricket team better start thinking about. a medal in LA. We have to be not fourth, but in top 3. Enough

Dude.. she was winning easily till she dislocated her hand with 2 mins to go. She still wrestled the whole game. 

 

Don't be unfair. She was extremely brave.

So am I. Injuries happen all the time in wrestling, very serious injuries.

Looks like she's dislocated or fractured something... poor girl! Looking so good for a medal! Feel so bad looking at her cry

Not really. The Korean caused that injury. So clear win. Korean with her strength managed to hurt her. 

[vvvslaxman]

Tough luck. Atleast she did well enough people follow her fortunes. Think about the first round exits..

They may - but in this case she was exceptional for trying despite her obvious injury. They don't cry for no reason. She could have medalled easily IMO Just bad luck

[Gollum]

Once under the pump, Indians either quit or tank, milk sympathy with tears and emotional dramebaazi. 

 

Very few have fighting/warrior spirit. Sad truth.

Our Olympics was going fine till Aug 1st when we won our 3rd medal. Then on Aug 2nd Kela comes back to the Indian team and suddenly we run out of luck in every sport!

Is she injured?

No the Korean caused the injury and it is fair in wrestling. Sheer brute strength caused it. It is what it is.

She was 8-1 up!

 

Why would she need to quit or do dramabaazi?

Pain threshold is different for different people. She was in great pain yet she finished the match.She has defined the true olympic spirit. Competing till last moment. No shame in losing in that way.

Amit Elor would have teched her. Then repechage. 

 

Anyway what is done is done. Either you have it or you don't.

Need more steroids like Chinese etc. Indians quit? Choke yes. Not quit. They are definitely not cowards.
