@Bad ; Kuldeep Singh has lost in Boxing. It is Satish Kumar in +91 kg category. Vikas Gowda has highest season best. As far as personal best is concerned, there are two Iranians and one Saudi whose personal best is more then 65.00 meters. its gonna be tough tough fight.
@Bad your right about Mens Discuss throw, Vikas is only favorite because he's the current season leader in Asia ahead of Haddadi. Hopefully he wont throw higher than Vikas.
so from your discussion we have prospect of winning 1-3 golds in athletics tomorrow... that is good sign for us...
In womens boxing , i watched a round of 16 of pooja rani when the commentatorws said she was facing a gold medal prospect... so i guess she should have easier fixture till final while mary kom and sarita devi are experienced so we shall be optimistic of a couple of gold here... with devendro and shiva being the only prospect left in mens boxing ...
still we are looking good to bag a dozen of yellow medal by the time our players get packing to india... great 2nd half of the tournament so far...
p.s my only wish is we should finish above qatar for whom i feeel of their 8 golds at least 6 are from paid africans i feel
Hockey Semi-Finals is today. Initial reports are not good as Rupinder Pal Singh and Gurwinder Singh Chandi are injured. Raghunath is struggling in Penalty Corners. Sardar Singh is tired and in poor form. Can they do it as South Korea is in red hot form as far as Penalty Corners is concerned? India team was playing so well in Commonwealth Games. I wonder what happened to them here???
Chances of winning medal in 400 meters hurdles are over, Joseph Abraham comes up with a poor performance fails to qualify for finals. Jitin Paul has made it but he is the slowest of all the finalists.
In womens 400m hurdles Ashwini was the 2nd fastest among all the competitors by almost 1-2 seconds, however gold looks unlikley as the African athlete from Bahrain is too good.
Dont know if its the correct thread or not but here goes
The sports minister mercifully chose not to go to Incheon but the sports secretary did, accredited as sports minister! So has the secretary's wife on her own expense but this goes against the ministry's own position. It refused to allow athletes to travel at their own cost, even if accredited.
