More RSS cadets are killed by n WB(Kerala. Commies are associated with violence, lynching and death threats.  Communism and Islamists have  killed the most people in the world. Avoid political discussion at least in this sports thread 

You should tell that to the first guy who brought up rss in this thread. Funny how posts crediting RSS for a sporting achievement is not political but calling out such posts is political to you

Now we are pouring a lot of money in sports. Big business houses like Jindals, Adanis are funding top athletes. Most of it is targeted funding I believe where just top medal prospects are identified and trained by top coaches across the world in variety of conditions. 

Still good job by Olympics Association.

Desh badal raha hain!  Saw a clip of 4x400 relay where Indian men qualified for finals. Should expect a medal there too

Need the Ambanis, Adanis, Tatas,etc to step up and build world class private High Performance Centers in Delhi/Mumbai focussed on specific Olympic sports in which we have potential. Our Govt sports bodies cannot ensure Quality but the private sector can.

 

No hopes on Ambani, Adani. Glorified looters.

We are not the ones who brought up RSS in the thread so dont be a hypocrite and warn those who did. Another organization being violent does not absolve RSS.  Extremism is extremism no matter what guise they come under.

Manika wins 4-1

[bharathh]

Dominating 5th game win by Manika to win the match. 

[LordPrabhzy]

Batra wins- was made to work hard. If she wants to win a medal she has to dispatch opponents with more ease

[randomGuy]

Manika wins 4-1, goes to round of 32.

They do opposite things like removing non veg items from their nation wide stores. Or paying millions and millions to buy bullet proof cars for their security guards every year. The luxury security cars of the police which guards them, started with the BMW X5 SUVs and evolved to Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Range Rovers and now the Mercedes-AMG G63 SUVs

 

They are the kings of India and everyone else serfs, we all saw that at the wedding, no politician or celebrity has the balls to stand against  them, all just bow.

Ok, fair enough. First to bring in RSS in the thread was sarcastic. It got some posters’ panties in a wad.

RSS is to protect you. Otherwise you people will get your a$$es kicked and be kicked out of your homes on a little demography shift. You should shut the fcuk up and concentrate on topic, Ok.

Lmao, you guys are hilarious. Extremists just ruin any country, not protect it. We have live example in how extremism took Pakistan from a strong country to what they are now. 

[Sgattick10]

Wish we had a pt usha now with better infra and money and backing she might have produced a medal. 

[Gollum]

Realistically, Neeraj is our only hope from athletics. 

 

Murali Sreeshankar could have been one in long jump but missed out due to injury.

 

Sable can create history by finishing in top 10, that's it. Medal is even more tough because Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia will work as teams and not give him the lane. Very old strategy by them, which even Americans haven't been able to crack. 

 

All others are there to try and break national/Asian record.

Ability wise she might not be there, but in pressure situations, I guess she might out-do her opponents. The shouting, the antics, the eye contact, the physical presence all count I guess.

Shooting is an elite sport, you either have to come from an army background or rich enough to get access to shooting clubs. So very few ppl are actively pursuing this sport. To get that many medals in last 12-16 yrs is quite good. 

Shooting 

Diving

Synchronised diving

Swimming

Cycling yes cycling. Pro cycle costs uowards of 20 k dollars. 

Judo (yes rich people sport) 

Rowing

Equestrian

Gymnastics all forms. I pay like 4 k dollars a year for my daughter at Robertson's gym. Which produced an Olympian. 

Canoeing

Ice skating

Figure skating

Polo

Skiing

Tennis 

Ice hockey

 

About 16 sports are for the rich. 

 

Winter Olympics probably add a few more to it. Unless you are from a cold cou try with access to snow.

Enough politics and bad blood guys. Let us unite and spread positivity for our archery team as they gun for a medal
