    My Prediction in Archery : 1 medal

    Women's team/women's individual (Deepika Kumari)

    My Prediction in Boxing: 1 medal ( Counting it in total medals tally even though Federation is suspended)

    Shiva Thapa (
    Bantamweight)
  • NagendraNagendra Rajahmundry, A.P6832 Points
    Counting all these 3 possibilities as 1 medal

    My Prediction in Hockey : Possibility of 1 medal in men's

    My Prediction in Athletics : Possibility of 1 medal
    Best chances are in Long Jump : Ankit Sharma
    Next Best chance : 800 m (
    Tintu Luka) , 3000 m steeplechase(Lalita Babar)
    Slight chances : 400 m women (Nirmala Sheoran) , 400 m women relay

    My Prediction in Gymnastics : Possibility of 1 medal

    Summary of medals:

    3 in shooting

    3 in Wrestling ( even with Narsingh Yadav saga)

    1 in Tennis

    1 in Badmintion

    1 in  Archery 

    1 in Boxing 

    1 in Hockey/Athletics/Gymnastics

    Total medal count (Possibility) : 11 medals with possibility of gold in Shooting and/or Wrestling

    By considering worst cases, we can still win 7-8 medals with 1 gold

    Hoping for the best.. and my best wishes to all competitors..

    @munna219777  am predicting we will win those two medals in XD and MD. in XD with all those injuries and pull outs sania n bopanna will be seeded in top 4 .they must win medal there. in MD its more of a gut feeling that leander-bopanna will win a bronze.
    @Bad yes its all about execution. deepa needs to score avg 15.5+ to win a medal. she scored 15.300 of produnova in world championship last year with exicution of 8.300. which is her highest in produnova. her coach said that she is aiming for 15.600 in produnova. thats ok. but 2nd vault is the concern. that is tsukahara double twist with difficulty 6. her highest for exicution in that is 8.700 in WC qualification. that makes totol of 14.700 from that vault. she needs EP  of 9.600/10  in 2nd vault (if she  gets a 15.600 in 1st vault) to win a medal. which is unlikly. difficulty is her strong point (produnova with D= 7 and tsukahara double twist d=6 are of  highest difficulty in their group) not execution.

    ;Bad ..

    Vikas Dahiya ( Goal Keeper) is in hockey men's reserve list.... we have option if Sreejesh injured... 

    Even teams like Australia and Germany has only 1 GK in initial 16 member squad...

    Nagendra,bro I know that but I have concerns:-

    1)What happens if SREEJESH gets injured during the match or prior to start of the match.We will have to wait for minimum 1 day before we get a replacement,or in other words,we will have to play the slated match without a Goal keeper.
