Why the hell didn't we send any 'athelete' in this event lol. We have so many dance reality shows nowadays. So many SM chhappris dancing on the streets, trains and whatnot. They would have done much better than this guy atleast.

Disappointing olympics. Not as bad as Rio, but had hoped for 10 medals. We will end up with 6 to 7 (depends on phogat verdict).

Too many near misses. Not sure pumping money the solution. Huge choking and conversion issues seen through our sports

Our cricketers' lack of support, appreciation towards Olympians is telling. Self obsessed bunch of pricks.

 

Gambhir praised Neeraj after his silver win.  But got trolled massively by many indian fans on his disastrous start to the campaign. 

 

I think perhaps the shock 0-2 whitewash in SL (an ODI series loss after 27 yrs in SL) has created a sort of fear in our cricketers that they might get trolled by the fans on the recent poor performance against a minnow.

Nearly ten 4th place finishes.  So near yet so far.   Maybe these athletes are good but just not good enough to cross the hurdle on the world stage.  Shame old story for us. 

 

Disappointing?   Yes.   Surprising? No

Ozs are crap in lot of sports lmao. This is not new. 

 

Just that mainstream ones they are good at. Swimming krikut

 

In rugby also zero mostly. Bashings against nz s.acrica and even England off late. 

 

We are also **** at tennis. Average since Hewitt retired. 

 

Cycling sailing yea they win. 

 

That's it.

 

Rowing gone to ****

Canoeing is good. 

 

Posh sports Aussies are. Good.

Won't we choke choke choke baby choke choke choooke lol

 

Nhaa first pick on merit

Then increase funding instead of letting babbus loot the reserves. 

Lastly improve infrastructure and expan through out india

.not just one or 2 states

 

Also get high tech doping gear. Top 10 teams do it all the time. Time we improve in that regard. Invest in high tech gear that can be undetected.

Too many Indian athletes are aiming just for Bronze.I cannot blame them either but this mindset has to change.If India has to win more gold medals.

Missed this interview.  He knows he’s never crossed 90m , but tried his best after Nadeem crossed 92. So much depends on fitness, mental strength. He kept fouling the rhythm after Arshad’s second throw mainly trying for 90m.

He will get it next time..he also won the world championship dont forget. Kid is special

 

I think he will get nadeem next time

 Nadeem never won a world championship. 

 

Both are great though obviously

Lakshya Sen has been the biggest disappointment. 

There was so much media hype around him.   I used to think atleast a bronze was guaranteed (worst scenario)

They should be immune to that. Btw what's stopping those not in the squad?

 

They could have wished even before the ODI series.
