MechEng Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Archery games have been awesome, especially Taipei vs Norway where the Taipei archer started off terribly (scored 5 and entered the blue zone once) and made a great comeback in the last two sets with the game going to the penalty round. Have some expectations from Atanu Das. sscomp32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeautifulGame Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Justt just realized we have more or less qualified.Ireland/Canada not only to win the both their matches but also need huge GD swing .Not gonna happen.Canada are real minnows and our final opponent in GS. Also in the other Group Australia lying in 3rd spot now and cant top the group.So the disadvantage of finishing fourth and Facing Aussies is also not there.So this loss doesnt really matter. If we win against Canada which we most likely will, we will finsh 4th orherwise 3rd .Most likely face the loser of the match between Spain and Belgium.We have a very real chance of reaching semi finals imo randomGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they changed the format where top 4 from each group qualify to knockouts whereas atleast in the last couple of olympics, the top 2 from each group qualified for the semis and the rest played for 5-12 places.

Yeah I know that but even if we had similar format last time we still wouldnt have qualified as we finished bottom last Olympics.Less said about Beijing the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some expectations from Atanu Das. +1. Thanks to star sports i have started liking a new sport. Also this depends on individual performance so i like it more.

FischerTal Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 india needs to spend more on sports. such a large youth pool, but most of them have to go overseas for training and fund it themselves. can't the government set aside a 100-200 million dollars for sports development? otherwise, expect such results over and over again sscomp32 and randomGuy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
