maniac Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Probably our biggest hope to win a medal this olympics. DOn't have hopes for a gold but still an outside chance at least here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adi_91 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not the biggest hope for sure. I expect Shooters be the biggest hope. Saina is the only hope in Badminton. I hope, we don't have a draw with Sindhu and Saina in the same group. tweaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been far more consistent than our badminton stars from London 2012. New names emerging all the time. Even in Badminton, we are doing better than before, but still a long way to go. The likes of Srikanth, Sindhu have developed a bit slowly. Some like Kashyap have faded away dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After cricket and football I think only badminton can make us proud.Tennis too but only in doubles...which is not considered even close to singles.Even here we need the help of foreign players.

Adi_91 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think it is a question of how our badminton players handle nerves during the games. In Badminton, the chances of an upset are a lot higher from what I have seen. Of late, some unseeded players are stunning top ranked players. It is very difficult to predict if India's chances are bright or not at this stage. As the saying goes, we need to wait and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lannister Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Saina, at best, can win Bronze going by her current form and the limitations she has. While, Sindhu lacks brains even though she's physically stronger than most Badminton players. You can relate her to Ishant Sharma ... As for Men's singles goes I can list at least 10 players who can easily thrash Srikanth at any stage of the game. He turned out to be a biggest disappointment following his win at China superseries after beating Lin Dan. Both Chen Long and LCW are the clear favorites to win gold. As for Double's goes, let's just say it's a waste of time to even talk about that. Adi_91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Lin Dan is inferior to both CL and LCW. But there's nothing he hasn't been able to achieve in Badminton. He's the Roger Federer of Badminton, probably even bigger legend.

She's inconsistent but tends to play her best in bigger tournaments . Doubles , Ashwini screwd her career sticking to Jwala for so long . She should have moved on to a younger player by now .

PBN Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sindhu looks a lot more versatile and has the x factor. Tall, good reach, and cross court smashes are good as well. Lots of potential in the women's singles in Saina and Sindhu me thinks. Let's hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
