Will change on how athletes progress. 

Thank you!

 

So medal event realistically begins from Day 2. Can't wait to start now.

So just about 24 hours to go for the Opening Ceremony to kick off the games.

First good news for India. 

 

Atanu Das (Male Archer) has qualified for the Round of 32 as he finished 5th in the Ranking Round.

[Adi_91]

Results from the Women's Archery Ranking Round.

 

Not a great start by the women as the results will show.

 

Individual Rankings: 

 

Deepika Kumari finishes at 20th place, Bombayla Devi Laishram at 23rd and Laxmirani Majhi at 43 place.

 

India finish the ranking round ranked 7th with the three women archers in the team.

Anyone watching the opening ceremony?

Last time we had the red lady and this time we had the tripping lady  

Not sure who but it looked like jwala tripped on her sari.

You guessed it right. I stared at her hair for a while too.

In case anyone wants to see Jwala "Blonde" Gutta

BTW this ceremony is much much better than the queen jumping off a chopper.

Much better ceremony, except that it was dragged a lot. Should have been sweet and simple.

[Adi_91]

The early indications so far in Rio for India has been that the more fancied you are, the more chances of being eliminated early as women shooters disappoint early on Day 1. 

 

Hope this trend changes soon.

First gold medal went to USA in Shooting, with China taking both silver and Bronze. 

What monsters..!

[beautifulgame]

So far decent showing in hockey

Commentry is pathetically biased

[beautifulgame]

We take lead at the first break .1-0

[Adi_91]

Bright news from Rowing earlier in the day as Dhattu Bhokanal qualified for the QF in Men's Rowing.
