South Korea, China, Mexico, Japan on the other side of the draw in archery men's team. 

 

Yes, excellent chance for Indian men...potential semifinal vs France...

 

But with what happened yesterday,  I have zero expectations in Archery...

But why the land of Arjun, Karan, Bhishma, Dronacharya and Eklavya cannot win a single medal in Archery? We need some Mahabharat style Drona schools 

 

We should be killing it.

If these people existed then they were more likely Aryan tribes. Indians are of a different stock from them. It's like how some Muslims think they are Arabs .

So lets say you have a group of 4. And one in the group retires due to injury and says bye bye olympics. And only you have played with that guy but not the other 2. So your match is deleted and the group of 4 becomes group of 3. Advantage of group of 4 is as we have seen in cricket etc run rate plays a part ( in badminton it is games won) and if one beats other and loses to you etc raises a chance to go through even after you lose a match ( pak 2022 wc). But group of 3 you lose a match and you are staring down the barrel.

this has been posted by many that Deepika constantly talks when others are shooting arrows. Not sure what she says but hope it was encouragement.

"Deepika Kumari used to keep muttering something from behind and disturbing when Ankita and her other team mate were shooting arrows."

"Seems like Wind is only troubling Indian Archers. While the Dutch shooting 10s 9s consistently. Meanwhile Ankita and Deepika doing as worst as they can by hitting 6s and 7s."

I saw the dutch archer also saying something when the other was shooting- maybe its standard practice.

Found it very irritating, non stop bak bak from behind, when other two were doing far better than her.

Ankita is 25 and Bhajan 18. I want to invest in these 2 for next Olympics. Ankita might have been a dud in womens but its she who qualified in mixed event as she shot well in qualifying.

F*ck Jio, can't decide if I am watching ads in Olympics, or a little bit of Olympics in ads.

Ireland giving fight to Australia- go down 2-1

 

@Gollum even teams like Ireland are competitive against Aussies but we lose our heads

[Gollum]

Australia edges past Ireland 2-1 in men's hockey. What is going on? Ireland also gave Belgium a tough fight, lost 0-2 there. Impressive campaign so far for them.

India will not get an easy  match there too.. imagine tough matches with weak teams like NZ and Ire, and then having to face Aus and Belgium

Hope by the time India plays Ireland their energy would have sapped. Playing against teams like Australia is akin to playing Manchester city in premier league. lets say you are Everton and you play hard for 70 mins and you are even leading 1-0 against them and then suddenly out of now where you are 3-1 down and you lose.. you feel utterly dejected as you had concentrated so hard,,. next match you lose to your mid table or even relegation rivals  crystal palace 2-0.. time and again it has happened.. i hope Belgium and Argentina has squeezed their energy now...

Now to India to at least beat world football champions in hockey today

in comparison to European/Australia powerhouses.. a team we should be comfortably beating( dominating) but somehow we are now on that same level. Give it 5 years, France will be on India's level too
