Mondo's pole vault was special as well.

 

Man keeps breaking his own WRs.

 

Noah Lyles 100m final was amazing as well.

 

I got access to that Paraguayan swimmer's insta too.

 

The tharki in me is at peace

Can't understand anyone supporting another country against your own. I can understand Sania Mirza's family supporting Pak but other than that how anyone can do so  beats me. Have heard about pockets in Hyderabad, UP and even B'lore where people supported Pakistan but never seen anything first hand.

One of my colleagues supports Pak over India, his father is in coast guard, brother IPS.

 

Never cares when India does something good. When Pak beats us, he is over the moon. Texted me, 'final dekha'. 

 

Still tolerable, I have heard worse stuff in Bhopal, Bengal, Bengaluru, Hyderabad. Provocative stuff. Ambedkar was right.

Build new playlist to change the algorithm. Better yet close the account and start afresh.

I wonder what Neeraj's strategy would have been if he was in bronze medal position right from the start - try to secure the silver or still valiantly chase gold.

 

 

 

and how would this person know this to be true You believe anything that's on SM don't you?

Nadeem is very humble in victory. Neeraj was too.

Jonathan Selvaraj is one of the best sports journalists in this country. I've been reading his articles for years.

 90m has been breached, just not by Neeraj ever. His best, if we can call it, was bettered twice.

Yes, but as I said, Neeraj's strength is in his consistency and not flashes of brilliance that some others like Peters and Arshad can achieve.

Isn't Dutch has same status in Hockey as Australia has in cricket. I remember Pakistan also use to play with them in final.

[Frustrated]

Surprised to find that Vietnam (which has the fastest growing GDP per capita in Asia) with a population of 100 Million is unable to secure a medal.

I think he said Weber threw 95 m or something. Is it true?

 

It was the first throw, so "close to Olympic record" would be around 90-91 metres.

Abhi tak Pakistan ki chinta satati thhi ab Vietnam ki satane lagi hai . Koyi nahi agle Olympic mein india se aage honge

I like this Nadeem guy  would have been happier had he won silver or bronze and Neeraj gold. Gold is a bit too much :)

He's in the stadium in Paris covering the Olympics. He would have seen it on the big screen there.

What's the point of consistency if it doesnt reach the best? Arshad hit 90m twice so he is consistent too. 

 

In this sport just 1 great throw is enough to win even if others are not so good.

Just saw USA vs Serbia SF match. Such an entertaining last quarter and an amazing comeback by USA.
