London Olympics 2012

Re: The Offtopic thread...

Gagan Narang wins Bronze in 10m Air Rifle Shooting. Could have
easily won Gold as well. It's matter of luck.

Abhinav Bindra failed to qualify.

I expect a medal from Saina Nehwal too. She is in very good form.

China is literally 'producing' world-class sportsmen. Like a factory. Training Children right from the childhood. Kids as small as 4 years are being trained in gymnastics, etc. Preparing athletes for the next generation. China is going to rule all the Olympics. *respect*

Re: The Offtopic thread...

Glad India won a medal. Also on other news my Summer vacation ends today. Back to usual life then.

re: London Olympics 2012

I hope Saina grabs gold medal.

re: London Olympics 2012

Congrats Gagan Narang.

re: London Olympics 2012

re: London Olympics 2012

This is the failsafe mechanism that we fall back to everytime.

Except for few participants who are religiously passionate about their field.

re: London Olympics 2012

yes, this time india is not playing that well. In badminton they are doing well.

re: London Olympics 2012

^^ True that.

Saina enters quarter finals. She hasn't lost a single 'game'. Won all the 3 matches in straight sets.
But, Why So Serious, Saina?

re: London Olympics 2012

I'm rooting for Saina Nehwal, Mary Kom and Vijender singh

re: London Olympics 2012

Jai Hind. Hope India gets more than one medal. I blame Indian culture for Gagan Narang's Bronze.

She'll be against World No. 1 Wang Yihan in SF, if she wins QF. She has lost 5 times and never won against her.

Same.

re: London Olympics 2012

^That is if Wang Yihan makes semis too. Besides, the top four players are bound to play each other in the semis. For TT and badminton, there is only one rule. Beat the Chinese and you win.

re: London Olympics 2012

I hope Mary Kom wins Gold.

re: London Olympics 2012

re: London Olympics 2012

Saina lost

In line for bronze now.

re: London Olympics 2012

:/........

re: London Olympics 2012

Gagan Narang is also out of 50m Rifle. Karmakar Jyodeep walked past him and qualified. Lets hope for good.

EDIT: Its over. Jyodeep finished at 4th.

re: London Olympics 2012

Dam .
Guys the main problem in India is No Importance for other sports.
It's only cricket and nothing else.
They should start a scholarship program.And give it to good sportsmen across india and train them for the sport their good at

I saw the match ....
damn !!!

Serena into finals...expected!

Maria vs Serena

Saina gets Bronze. We'll take them any way they come. Huge respect to her, didn't celebrate and went to hug her opponent after her injury.

that was nice

+respect to her

Other medal hopes: L Devendro Singh, Vijender, MC Mary Kom (Boxing). Any others?

PS: Li Xerui won Badminton women's gold. Wang Yihan is beatable.

And vijendar Singh lost lost by two points

^13-17 = 4 points.

Oh, thought it was 11 sary

Sushil kumar did it! +respect for him. Now waiting for gold.

Silver it is. We have doubled our medal tally this time around. Only a gold medal is missing. Although 6 medals for 83 athletes is not a good average, the comparison should always be with ourselves. This is a huge improvement. Hopefully, we will be much better at Rio 2016.

well, a thousand bronze medals can't equate to one gold as far as I am concerned.

But overall, it's an okay showing considering our cultural and historical standards + backwardness.

Really proud of Haryana, Manipur, Andhra and Himachal.

Atleast we should be proud that we got some medals in this Olympics.
Sad to say that, we sucked at our national game yesterday.

london olympic 2012 wasn't a bad olympic for indians.Though they didn't win the gold medal but they got 6 medal 2 silver and 4 bronze.
