If Neeraj got eliminated and Nadeem won gold I would be gutted. Neeraj did his best and Nadeem came up with a lifetime performance to win, no complaints.

 

Neeraj's focus went bust after that 92.97 throw, which resulted in so many fouls.

Dope test result of Nadeem will be interesting. 

These guys are not random tested. All of them are subject to tests afaik.

So he depends on others having off days?

Yes. 

And that does not make him a lesser player. It's not a disrespect.

Pawkee twitter exploding right now with all kinds of drivel against India and Neeraj. 

 

 

Those mfs have been suppressing their frustration for the past 2 months or so with our WC win and their heartbreaking loss to us in New York. All about to come out now...

Let them.

 

Won't change the state of their economy/sports etc.

We have not improved from Tokyo.

 

We are a disgraceful sports nation. Beyond disgraceful.

 

There are 300-320 events every summer olympics.  How hard is it for 1/6th of humanity to not even capture 5 gold medals if it tried ?

 

Even  tiny african nations, countries you can't find on the map win 2-3 gold medals consistently.

 

It is not about money or resources - it is about national will and character.

 

When you yourself encourage 70 hour work weeks, who will have the time for sports?

So you’re saying Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem pulled a fluke despite 2 over 90 m throws and the top 3 throws of the tournament and making 5/6 of his throws but not the guy that missed 5/6 of his throws and won silver with a fluke throw. Makes perfect sense lmao.

 

Look who has entered the forum lol

Appeal already accepted 

[dilliboy]

Let's not denigrate Nadeem's achievement with accusations of doping please...Neeraj did his best and got beaten with an Olympic record throw. Still India's greatest Olympian

That's because you know a medal is coming in these two.

It has happened before and more than once, the last one I guess was in 96. So no worries it happens

Accepted mean they agreed to hear it, they won't give her silver
