India’s chief medical officer at the Olympics, is a radiologist called Pawandeep Tony Singh. He knows nothing about sports medicine( he is there because of influence). When athletes went to him, his solution for all pains was Combiflam

And he will give Combiflam to Vinesh!

 

This comment made me mad and crack up at the same time

Golf Update: Aditi Ashok got another birdie and now is at -2. She is tied 9th place so this is looking really good :D

If her opponent reaches final, repechage for bronze.

[PBN]

sakshi's opponent  has reached the finals, so a second chance for sakshi to aim for the bronze

[PBN]

sakshi advances to bronze medal match

[maniac]

Aditi finished at 7th rank in Golf..did she qualify for next round or is it over for her?

Shes only 3 shots behind the leader , so its very good start . She will play all 4 days as there is no cut here , but if she can play 4 days like this .she has a good shot at top3 .

Finally a medal...

 

well done sakshi....

 

I guess Sindhu match in the semis tomorrow.... 

[randomGuy]

Great comeback by Sakshi!   

[Adi_91]

I have to admit this. Off late, our wrestlers are looking more confident than our shooters. But, sadly, wrestling is always the last sport to be played, so India will always miss out on the early medal.

 

It is high time our shooters turn up in Tokyo! Enough is enough!

Heard a rumor......Looks like Sindhu has a bronze confirmed even if  she loses the semis...the player scheduled in the bronze playoffs is already out with an injury from what I hear....can someone confirm this?

yeah Li Xuerui injured herself during the match against Carolina Marin towards the end of the 2nd game.  Although she finished the game, she wasn't able to move around at all...likely a knee/ankle injury.  Unsure if she would be fit for the bronze medal match

[PBN]

Think sindhu has a great chance to beat okuhara in the semis though
