What is behind the Olympic Committee's decision
to incorporate skateboarding, surfing, free-climbing, and karate along
with the traditional Olympic sports.
Biggest hope in Archery will be Deepika Kumari once again. Her shooting has improved a lot and this season she is having her best season in her career in terms of shooting with an average bow of 9.29, if she maintains the same during qualifying rounds she will be among top 5-6 archers during the qualifying rounds.
Individual Event : I know she is erratic( Olympic qualifiers where she was totally off the marks), but with archery being the game of 9-15 arrows per match anything can happen on any given day. If she does good in the qualifying round and avoids the Taipei and Korean archers before semis then anything can happen. I am hoping that she is not going to falter this time against other country archers. Korean are totally different bread in archery due to their robust system.
In the mixed event, with only 16 teams present in the fray, the probability of medal just increases if they perform decently in their qualifying rounds and can easily reach semis.
Gold medal hopes shouldn't be there( as I said it's just a game of 9-15 bows per match so we can hope anything ) but there are medal hopes from both these events.
Easy group, not a tough pre - quarterfinal. Yamaguchi & P.V.Sindhu play in similar style. But I would say Sindhu will have an upper hand in Quarter final.
Main nemesis is Tai. I never saw Sindhu dominating Tai after her domination against her in Rio Olympics. For me, Semi Final would be toughest match for her. If she cross semi final, she is favorite to win Gold.
Have u guys seen form of indian badminton in last 1 and half or 2 years ? I actually dont hv any expectations from singles If sindhu goes past quarter finals , i will be surprised In doubles its about chirag sen , if he does very well , we might hv slight chance of beating that taiwanese and i believe beating that english pair should not be very difficult

It's same even for Foreign players..
Though P.V.Sindhu is not in top form. She got comparatively easy draw.
Even Sai Praneeth has chance to advance to Quater Final. Reaching beyond Q.F would be tough for him as he need to face top seed, Kento Momota
Chirag & Satwik had toughest group. Even if they advance from their group, they have beat top team in Quarter-Final.
