Sharath Kamal loses to a Slovenian and is out of the TT mens tournament. Had a 6 pt lead in the last game and blew it to lose :( Anyways he wasn't going to go far. Respect for an Indian legend though.

Patriotism is a strange thing. All of us so happy and proud for this girl we don't know, will never meet and I am assuming minus a handful not many would have held a gun.

He's 42, time to retire.

Mens TT must be realy struggling that Sharath Kamal is still representing India.

Kuch bhi bolo, at least we have something to look forward to every single day, with 120 participants. 

 

Spare a thought for other South Asian sports fans with zero representation, where their best haven't come close to qualifying, a few spots for them out of pity by IOC. 

 

Lucky for brother @MediumPacer that his ancestors didn't cross over to Padosiland in 1947. Otherwise he would be even more miserable and self-loathing than he already is.

An early medal is huuuge.

 

Huge monkey off the back...like Mirabai did in the Tokya games

Manu crediting Bhagwat Geeta for her calmness.

Lots and lots of Kids play TT in India at least till high school ... We probably lose potential champions in the process.

Really surprised to see Kamal still playing though 

[Sandz]

When Mannu hit 10.3 I thought that's it silver medal confirmed! but little did I know what she up against.

 

Great effort from her, she is a champion.
