@Gollum why dont we see indian heavyweight freestyle wrestlers coming out of india like 125Kg or the 85kg+ categories. Mostly they are in the 60-70kg range at olympic levels

Dunno man. Maybe our big guys lack explosiveness.

Hopefully all the bad luck ends with this Olympic.. We should get a better draw next Oly. Esp boxers and shuttlers. 

Bro we won 7 medals. That’s a lot more than I was hoping, on top of that, Hockey team won something: had the paxtani not won gold, I would have celebrated  Neeraj silver too   I am not too upset but upset if you know what I mean.

Which state is Ankita from.  Stop funding to that state.

 

Archery itself seems waste of time. Can reroute funds to other sports

 57 kg gold match USA vs Japan is also going to be fun

Yes that will be fun too though I feel Higuchi is technically too solid.

6 , not 7

Bas kisi bhi tarah se gold mil jaye. Are there any meme sports where we can still medal?

This time, wanted 10 badly - An improvement over Tokyo. But 10 odd near misses, 0 golds would probably spur up everyone even more for next time!!

Bhai last Olympic on ICF I was dreaming that we would overtake Iran's or level with their 3 golds of Tokyo

yes our highest tally if you just count number of medals. 2021 was better because of gold.

With some luck it should have been 10. So many 4th place finishes

Forget Prabhu Deva, every regional channel has a dance reality show, send some of those chapris to Olympics or what about the judges who cry for everything. Let them show what they got.

 his arms are very very strong, beat Aman by technical superiority mainly through strength I thought

Without Haryana we would be like 130 Bn and 1 bronze.

Sharam ki baat hai baaki states ke liye.

True. Also was expecting at least a bronze from Sindhu, Lakshya and the doubles men’s badminton team
