Paris Olympics 2024 Discussion Thread

Hope the Indian archers beat the Dutch to get to the semis. Really hoping they show up at their best today. They have beaten even the Koreans once. Would be amazing if they can do so.

A bit harsh but our TT is just not there yet. Mostly we are there to make up the numbers. Don't see any chance of a medal.

Manu Bhaker is from Jhajjar. What is with these Haryanvis and Olympic medals, just 2.5 crores population that state but better than rest of India combined. Respect.

The original champion Kapil Dev was from Haryana too..whatever we are as a cricket nation today was all due to that 1983 world cup win which ushered in a revolution..

And Bangladeshs since their birth

Have a good feeling about shooters now, they can get 3 medals which will be a first in our history.

Manu missed the silver by just 0.1 points

I don't take Bangladesh seriously. At least Pak had some sporting legacy once upon a time, Toygers have been useless since their independence.

Women better than men. But yes, medals are still a little distant. They can get inspired from the sport of badminton.

Heartwarming

 

Indian Dhinidhi Desinghu, the 14-year-old swimmer, finishes at top in her women's 200m Freestyle Heat with a timing of 2:06.96. The 16 fastest from the heats qualify to the semifinals. Remainder are eliminated

Pak had squash and hockey. Also in cricket produced the fastest thrower in the world. 

 

So credit where credit is due.
