LOLLL

 

I guess he is funding himself mostly.. has a rich dad.

India has Muhammad Anas Yahiya in 400m.  pretty impressive to have someone qualify  in the track events and that too the shorter ones.

wth Canada tied India in Hockey 2-2

Fantastic win in Mixed doubles tennis. Bopanna/sania beat Murray/watson . Into the semis. 

Will face the winner of US/ITA QF in the semis. 

 

2 shots at a medal now. 1 more win and a medal confirmed.

Atanu getting eliminated was really heartbreaking.  

He was shooting with a korean level bulls eye accuracy since the start of olympics till now. Just 1 mistake and he could not handle the pressure. 

Its all about pressure. He scored 140/150 but still lost. Other matches were not of this quality and also little low scoring. 

Just the tied third set which atanu should have won and we would have had a medal because he is shooting mind blowingly well. 

Hope he continues the form and qualifies for 2020 too. Huge medal contender because of his consistent '10' pointers if he knows how to handle big match pressure.

We are gonna be destroyed by Belgium today seeing the form of hockey team. 

2 medal hopes have emerged but very tough. 

Sania/bopanna face venus williams/rajim ram and Vikas faces the man who defeated him in Asian games.

india held off germany until that last minute blunder. i think they can give competition to belgium if they play with heart.

I wish they don't qualify for the next olympics. At least, we can avoid false hopes and save time.

Serious introspection needed if we have to improve from this disastrous performance. Pressure telling on most of these players and the way they have performed thus far.
