Real disappointments are desis settled in west, have all top facilities, infrastructure, clean air, quality food/water etc. yet absolutely zero in sports. East and SE Asians, Arabs, Africans have made great strides in sports there but not our people. What exactly do brown people in those countries do? Even in research, academics they will be outnumbered 50:1 by the Chinese. 

the second generation is burdened by their first gen indian parents to ficus on careers and studies. It will take 3 or 4th gen desi to embedd themselves in American culture and also get involved with sports.

 

Even in the UK, most desi doctors kids become doctors, no one pushes their children for sports maybe apart from cricket recreationally so how the hell will desi be ever representing UK or US in olympics

Not yet. She needs to win minimum 2 more bouts to win a medal. 

[Kron]

Really enjoying our women wrestling. Augers well for the future. Both for men and women. 

[Frustrated]

Reetika won.  When is her next match?    3 40 pm today, I guess?

Wow the American is special

[Gollum]

After this Olympics, I guess most of will need SM detox. 

 

Too much time waste on sports watching since T20 WC began (many like me also watched the Ind-Eng series and IPL). Then tennis, Euros. 

 

Much needed 40 days break from Indian cricket after this.

This American wrestler just demolished the romanian with a epic move for a almost pin within a min... Reetika will have it tough> This american is not interested in defensive wrestling

If india won silver or gold in hockey that would have been the perfect gift. Ah well bronze is still good. 

 

They deserved atleast silver though

[neel roy]

This is a fair draw. Reetila took out 8th seed and she faces 1st seed in quarters 

 

1-8

2-7

3-6

4-5 

 

these should be the way seeds should be drawn. Half the time randomly I see we facing top seed or second seed in first or second round itself in many disciplines. Khoon khaulta hai. 

[Lone Wolf]

Reetika will face no 1 seed Kyrgyz in the QF...

 

It will be a cracker
