    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....

    Schedule of India on 9th August



    Rowing
    Men Single Sculls Quarterfinal
    17:30 IST

    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.

    India lost 0-3 to Great Britain in Women's Hockey. That was the last engagement on 8th August.

    Earlier, I was saying Atanu 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 )

    Rio Olympics 2016 Archery: World No. 1 Kim Woojin out, can India’s Atanu Das capitalize on it ?

    We have come close in 4 events already:-

    10m pistol,10m air Rifle,Archery, Weightlifting.We just haven't converted them into medals.

    Our Archers,Boxers,Few Shooting events (unfancied) can cheer us by winning us unexpected medals.Lets hope for the best as it's a new day.

    Bindra's final was heartbreaking. Last 4-5 seconds were nerve-wracking and then again that sinking feeling..
