How I wish for swimming, diving talents. Remember counting once, about 1/3rd of all medals are water events. We are a big fat zero here. 

Swimming is so expensive bro. Will take us a while.

They are also best friends. And in the interview arshad said neeraj is next level. 

 

Arshad can beat many of the other guys very easily including the Grenada guy.

Personally this pseudo jingoism which most internet warriors display irritates me. 

 

If this guy beats Neeraj and Neeraj is caught smiling with him like he should as a true sportsman.People will pounce on  Neeraj too.

 

Just like they did against Kohli and some geniuses still do here for his CT 2017.Nobody beat Pakistan more times than Kohli did in his career.

I think everyone knows that loss to Pak had ulterior motive in ousting the coach Kumble... There was a lot written on that and it was just not hobnobbing of Lohli with his buddies across the border

Tbf hatred of parkies in cricket was cause they used to taunt the h2h. Hence the retort. Losing to them in cricket is not acceptable as politics seems to cloud people's judgement. Parkies feel like a win in cricket over India displays a sense of superiority almost equivalent to winning a war against India. 

 

That's why people react differently in cricket. 

 

Won't be the same for other sports. not even hockey.

Diving is a great skill. I am 1000% sure we can find quality divers in India but it's expensive lol.

[Kron]

It's the football equivalent version being played out in hockey here. Jks.

You know what's weird. Every Indian hockey game I watched we won lol. I missed the Germany one and we lost. 

 

But I was bad luck with table tennis archery. Lost all of them fml. 

 

I dont want to jinx neeraj. I want to wake up tomorrow at 7 and I expect to see gold stars. Lol.

ok but don't give updates on Neeraj's throw tomorrow morning, just remember it's replay not live
