CWG 2018: Rakesh Babu, KT Irfan sent home for breaching no-needle policy
Triple Jumper Rakesh Babu and race walker Irfan Kolthum Thodi were sent back home with immediate effect after being guilty of violating CGF's no-needle policy.
Triple jumper Rakesh Babu and race walker Irfan Kolothum Thodi were thrown out of Gold Coast for breaching the Commonwealth Games Federation’s (CGF) no-needle policy. Both the athletes were sent back to India with immediate effect after the breach of the guidelines and will not be allowed to participate in the games further. As a result, Babu, who was set to compete in the triple jump final on Friday, was ruled out of the contest.
Great run by Indian men in 4x400 relay semifinals. Finished 2nd behind Jamaica after giving a tight competition to them . It is the second best timing in semi finals even better than Botswana who won from other semi final heats. Considering England out with DNF, and Nigeria disqualified we have an outside slim chance for a bronze. Have to really tight for that against Bhamas and Trinidad&Tobago. Botswana and Jamaica are from different planet as they are the sure bet for gold.
gaurav solanki through to finals after a tough bout against Sri Lankan bandara , bandara knocked out solanki 2 times thrown some realy really hevy right hooks but soanki with his tremendous skills and compsure came back and won it 4-0
manish kaushik through to the finals in 60 kg boxing event , it was a very tight fight but kaushik was more of aggreser in the game and the irish boxer was dependingon counter punching , may be that lead the decision in Kaushik's favour by 4-1
@Bad , i don't think so he was over confident , the thing here was bandara knew he can't beat solanki on points so with every punch he was going for a kill for the knockout , i think so solanki didn't hv the power and physique to stand up to those punches , he got knocked out 2 times and was shook twice in 2nd and 3rd round , so it was shear power right hand of bandara rather than over confidence (that's what i think)

However,I still feel he has the Game to Win Gold.Needs to be Careful.
I just felt,he was over confident.
