Personal best is likely enough.... season best is bad(3:03).

They did well but looks age is catching up with a couple of them. First run was particularly not good I think.

though he could score only once against us. He was blocked by our defenders without a goalie in the last few mins

He will have a point to prove as well. I don't think he expected Nadeem to beat him. Next time onwards I don't think he will take him so lightly.

 

He never took Nadeem lightly. He ran pretty close in the world championships last year. Neeraj won gold Nadeem silver.

If Kyle Kothari can do it then Shyam Kothari can also do it with proper training and facilities.

1.4 Billion People 

 

More than 1/6th of World Population.

 

But 0 gold medals out of 250 on offer.

 

Is there seriously any point following this embarassment?

Getting consecutive gold is very tough. He did extremely well to get silver after gold 4 years ago. Lost to an Olympic record. Not his day

It's OK. It was their time. Neeraj is still a champion. He will come back next time.

my concern now is in the long run how much of a factor Nadeem is going to be? is he here to stay or is he like so many javelin athletes who do not have consistency?
