The way the hockey team is playing (particularly today) it seems that we would not be getting any medal, let alone gold, for a looooooooooong time now.
guys.... we could have won 2 medals... 1 in Archery team & 1 by Abhinav Bindra..it's bad luck...
and so far biggest disappointment is in Shooting.... Jitu Rai & Gagan Narang are still in other events... let's hope we can win a medal in shooting....
Dattu Bhokanal finished third in the single sculls heats on the
opening day to qualify for the quarterfinals. His timing of 7:21.67
minutes to complete the 2000 m course ranked him 15th among all the
competitors.
Boxing Middleweight 75 kg
02:45 Hrs
Vikas Krishan, the first of three Indian boxers in action faces Charles Conwell.
Field Hockey (Men) India vs Argentina
19:30 HRS
The South American outfit is often known to be a tricky opponent; a
prime example being their 3-3 draw over the favoured Dutch in the
opening game.
Archery (Men) Individual Eliminations (Round of 64)
20:06 Hrs
India’s sole archer among men Atanu Das secured fifth place in the
ranking round, and will compete against Nepal’s veteran Jitbahadur
Muktan, who ranked 60th.
Shooting (Women) Women’s 25 m pistol (Qualification)
17:30 hrs
After Heena Sidhu failed to qualify for the finals of her pet event,
the 10 m air pistol event, the sole pistol shooter in the Indian
contingent will now try to make amends in the 25 m pistol event, even if
it’s an event she’s been patchy at.
Earlier, I was sayingAtanu Das has best chance of winning bronze medal,it's because he need to face top seed Korean opponent... he is out. Let's hope for the best and now probable main hurdle is Sjef van den Berg (he is already in Round 16) .. and also need to win against Lee Seung-yun (12 th in ranking round )
