Indians quit too easily. 

Too harsh.... sometimes it's just not possible.

Amit Elor would have teched her. Then repechage. 

 

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

Maybe so - but she would have easily won the repechange vs the Polish lady

She was 8-1 up!

 

Why would she need to quit or do dramabaazi? 

Injuries are common, must fight the pain, deal with it.

 

Wrestling is the toughest sport for a reason.

 

Anyway I am done with this topic, on to the next event.

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

 

Very few have fighting/warrior spirit. Sad truth. 

They showed that in hockey and wrestling before. Also in boxing. But ref decisions go against us. I agree with other sports like badminton etc we give up. As in choke when it matters.

Maybe I am too frustrated after recent results. I'll take a break and then post.

This Olympic is cursed.

Not watching it with expectation anymore.
Neeraj, hockey, Chanu & Wrestlers. Do your thing and hope we are on podium.

These hockey players are built different. Not like other Indians, mentally they are like Germans.

Injury can’t blame so giving her a pass.

 

Indian athletics won’t improve till we focus on excellence instead of results.

 

this whole “follow the process” “ we are playing the same team” crap is a disease not for Indian cricket alone.

[vvvslaxman]

High time India starts importing players. Few from Jamaica if possible lol

[Teengunalagaan]

She can still comeback in repechage for bronze if the north korean wins the SF

[Gollum]

This torture is worse than Rio 2016. 

[Cricketics]

Whatever is happening while we keep getting knocked out right before or close to a medal, one thing is for sure, all atheletes have shown promise.

 

Hopefully IOC or some guy is taking a notice that they don’t need overhaul od system but need to cut politics instead and focus on mental coaches wtc. When you reach quarter finals, then it is not about skills, its about mental game which we lack. Skills are there, they are just bot being ised under pressure.

 

They should be made to listen to Federer’s Dartmouth graduation speech.

Amit elor looks like a tank. 

So does nisha. Pity she got hurt. But Korean girl caused that injury. It is what it is. She did well. Deserved win for Korean.

Hope hockey federation becomes like BCCI and show these a-holes their aukaat and bring back grass fields instead of astro turf.

Dude that Korean lady was terrible. She lucked out like crazy. That US lady will kick her ass. Anyway Nisha is done for the next few months. She is badly injured.
