jind Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 One of our rowers did well. Qualified 2nd fastest into quarterfinals quite a bit faster than 3rd fastest person out of the 3 races (repcharges though). http://www.london2012.com/rowing/event/men-single-sculls/phase=rom012800/index.html ^^ Yeah Sawarn Singh. Hope he makes it to the Semis ! Yeah he might. But he struggled in heats so probably not a medal hope Good to see Sawarn Singh qualifying to the QF's in Rowing. It will be tough as he's qualified via repechage. Still a good achievement. To add to that, in Men's Lightweight Double Sculls, KUMAR Sandeep / SINGH Manjeet didn't qualify the first time so going into repechage
jind Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 21-9 21-4 She demolished Sabrina Jaquet. Sweet, that was an easy one...she's def'n a medal hopeful this time around. I missed the first set because of the stupid NBC website. How do I watch without entering that username/password :dontknow:
jind Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Here's a very good link for the days events/results for India http://www.london2012.com/country/india/athletescomptoday/index.html :nice:
Cricketics Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks Jind. Saves my time of looking for all sports.
jusarrived Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 womens archery team was such a let down , losing to a lowly denmark was uunexpected .. Missed out a medal there imo hopefully Deepika does better in individuals
Manny_Pacquiao Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 anyone else having problems with this nbcolympics website? the video keeps stopping.
Prudent Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Slightly better day for India, expecting one medal tomorrow in Shooting.

Cricketics Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Slightly better day for India' date=' expecting one medal tomorrow in Shooting.[/quote'] Yes, but not too good to be honest. I think our doubles tennis matches will be moved tomorrow because of the rain. Also Somdev is down in the match. He lost the first set and got broken early in 2nd set.

He lost the first set and got broken early in 2nd set. Yes , loss in Archery was a huge setback. Somdev will play Murray if he wins this match :)

Yoda-esque Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 We are probably the worst sporting country in the world by a mile... Even countries like Kazakhstan and Slovakia have gotten medals.. Sadly,I dont see this changing (ever)
Manny_Pacquiao Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 We are probably the worst sporting country in the world by a mile... Even countries like Kazakhstan and Slovakia have gotten medals.. Sadly,I dont see this changing (ever) you sound disappointed. but this is a choice that people in the country have made. indian kids choose to become nerds. their parents want them to be good at academics and think of sports as 'khel kud'. they also don't want their kids playing outside because the sun will darken their skin and make them less suitable for marriage. every single fresh off the boat indian in a foreign country looks completely out of shape. how do you expect people to become athletes with this kind of attitude? india's lack of olympic success is merely a reflection of how indian ppl don't give a flying **** about sport.
