Chinese, korean, japanese you can't even tell whether they are nervous or not. They look ike they are emotionally detached.  This Korean lady atleas showed some disappointment in her face after a couple of shots. This Chinese lady is absolutely cold faced.

Hum jeet gaya

ranked 60 odd out of 209 nations for a poor country is pretty decent. just saying. we have serious potential to reach top 10 if we pick on merit and get enough funding training etc but given how little we spend for sports overall, its a good result.

Puts rest to the myth that Southie sportspersons are mentally weak, a conclusion derived by some ICFers from recent cricket matches.

Checked TT ranking

 

Sharat kamal ranks 41 in the world. Highest ranking in men for us

 

Sreeja Akula ranks 23rd in the world for women's ranking. Manika 25th

 

 

Top 4 are chinese.  in women's senior.

I won’t to sound loser but many these country sending men masquerading as a woman 

[vvvslaxman]

I almost feel sorry for this korean. She is getting her clock cleaned.  She is cheering after getting one point like you see Chahal raising a bat after 4

Don't want to start a political debate here but that randua Tharoor bsdk is ready to start riots whenever Sanju Samson is dropped but hardly ever praises Sreejesh.

Shows that his only motive is to sow discords among Indians of different states, not to raise voice of Keralites.

[vvvslaxman]

Facing 8 match points.. she is still getting cheer from her supporters. 

[deepdynamo]

Congratulations ICFers and all Indian sports Fans. Tears of joy and happiness.

This is historic moment and 2 back to back medal in Olympic is epic for Indian Hockey. Safe to say, Hockey is thriving in India. New generations will come up and carry forward the flag. No doubt about it.

 

A well deserved farewell for Sreejesh as well as veterans like Harmanpreet, Manpreet, Hardik and co.

Memorable day for Indian Hockey Fans...savour it

maybe more than 5% of the indian population needs to pay tax.. maybe less freebies need to be given..
