A very good comparison. A javelin weighs 800 grams. Just think how powerful your arms have to be to throw that projectile 90 metres like Neeraj Chopra does. In comparison a cricket ball weighs 160 grams and when you hit it with a heavy bat, even with newtons third law of motion many players still struggle to cross even 75 metres for a six..some like Kela cant even connect

Kela has fastest IPL 50 and 45 ball 100 in international cricket so he can connect for sure.  Throwing javelin far is much easier than throwing a cricket ball.

I'm more worried if Vinesh has recovered from the gruelling first 2 rounds. If she has she will win easily. if she is still fatigued will be tough to win.

To ensure that it's a drag on region. They want the Islamists to come into power create havoc so that the region can remain within some sort of controlled turmoil. It's pure geo politics to keep a balance between all powers and hence keep everything under control. In other words a stable subcontinent helps India to prosper and emerge as another power which is not desired by US, UK and western block. They are all good with India emerging to a particular extent where they can control the politics to their advantage and benefit our of the economic growth. Hence they will aid Pakistan against India, help India against China and so on.

That was boxing. Wrestling the scoring and reffing is more transparent. Controversies are rarer given that the scoring is easier to track. Plus teams have a challenge each per session.

But they have Pakistan to keep the chaos going for eternity  Then there is China. State of BD is not going to impact India if India protects its border.
