Smooth brained Snowflake who assumes prima facie a rape accusation means rape happened because it is a minister from a party he doesn't like and that innocence should be proven before guilt shouldn't stoop to the cringe shrewlike preachiness he is wont to without bothering to read or understand the nuance in what was being said, your psychological impotence and ignorance is not others fault. the other sweeping generalizations was why you got the troll vote.

 

In journalism they say when you have 2 sources and one says it is sunny and the other says it is raining, your job is to look out the window and not just report both. this applies here too because mainstream media in the West especially is ideologically compromised and not the bastion of credibility you assume it is. But it's much easier to call anything that contradicts it as 'far right, Russian bot, neo Nazi transphobic' disinformation and propaganda like a cultist who has been hard at practice in repeating that same thing like a broken record when there is no other argument on offer. The accusations of her being a man didn't come from thin air, you can deduce at least that much so even if it's not true - some thing i am prepared to concede - you have to admit there is something to it.

Also nice way to play dumb and characterize very reasonable suspicions on her gender as a 'witch hunt', very big on projection this one like all other instances.

The fascist cancel culture at display. There are bigots, white supremacists, homophones, transphobes who abuse the concerned athlete. Any slight criticism of this guy , any doubts raised from rational thinking is clubbed to be among the same deplorables. To kissa khatam. No more argument , because you are a proven bigot. MTC has a lifetime membership in such cultural organization

Double down and give it back with interest when you encounter this sort of cringe, effete baiting instead of backtracking and being apologetic.

Ever since the 90s , we are hearing this 4th place natak for PT Usha and Milkha Singh. Its 30 years and the same mythology is still carrying on.

 

at least give citizenship to few African immigrants , they have the genetics to win a few medals

[Sgattick10]

When is the hockey bronze medal match? 

[Gollum]

People being too harsh on Antim now. She is just 19, first Olympics, will come back stronger in LA.

I would assume CAA for minorities is more important than importing some African athletes. Also same thing used to be said about fast bowlers, today we have a line up of world class fast bowlers. Once they come into our sporting structure they will also suck even though probably they will get better facilities than Africa. Let’s improve our own first.

Bro she is only 19-21 is poor excuses: by the same logic Sindhu should have won Gold now. I know you have much better non-cricket sporting  acumen than me but emotional post: if you have it you have it if you are  16 or 40.

Could she have won in here next weight class 53 KGs .

[Gollum]

Till now only Vinesh and hockey team played like they were here for gold. Bad luck. 

 

Rest never looked like fighting for gold, not even Manu. 

 

Hope Neeraj does win gold tomorrow.

Welcome back! 4th place,  1996, Miandad last ball six, 1096 SF, 2003, 2019 etc are part of folklore,  the masochist Indian sports fans live through their lifetime remembering it at every opportunity and pass it on to their progeny too.

Few Nigerians play in Indian football leagues and study law in some Indian colleges. See if you can convince them to represent us at any level.

What about my cricket acumen?

 

Coming to topic, for Indians our wrestlers are at their best in mid to late 20s. If I have to give a range, then 23-29 seems to be the sweet spot where we peak in wrestling. Our shooters in comparison are world class at a much younger age. 

 

Our initiation to wrestling is in akharas which are mud based, transition to wrestling mats at an advanced age (comparing with USA, Japan or Russia). Also we don't have anything like high school or D1 wrestling. 

 

Antim will be at her best in LA and Brisbane.
