Archery doesn't have a full time coach,let alone foreign coach or psychologist. Whatever the expectations were raised was due to the individual performances in the World Cup before the Olympics where they had beaten almost every medal aspirants except the Koreans. Most of them had really bad ranking rounds due to which they faced Korea everywhere. Only realistic hope was mixed doubles and Deepika Kumari. In both of the event they reached Quarterfinals. How many athletes are reaching that milestone too?
Table Tennis : 3rd round exits in individual.
Track : Some 400m special foreign coach if I remember who has almost ended Hima Das's career. Apart from Avinash Sable,none in top 30s too it seems.
Field : Result on the expected lines till now.
Shooting : The less said than better. Only two top 8 finishes after all the hype and facilities.
Tennis : Gone case
Swimming : Somehow they achieved qualifications
Boxing : One men boxer in quarters but some top seeds and people with high rankings and hopes gone.
Lovlina the only saving grace in it.
Badminton : Results on the expected lines.
Weightlifting : Results on the expected lines.
Hockey : Women somehow reached quarters but that's it. Men's result on the expected lines .
95% of the atheletes had no hope even before entering the Olympic arena and most of them just scrapped through by just touching the cutoff or through ranking in athletics like Dutee chand.
I would disagree with few points considering the manner which some of them lost in respective matches. Especially Archers and some shooters.

She could've won yesterday too if she had bagged the first round, which she was in a good position to do.
Same old same old
Panic has set it.
