Archery team has great medal hopes from youngster Deepika Kumari who has just become the world No 1 in her category..its her first olympics at such a young age!..women's compound and recurve team slightly better prospects than men..The Naga girl is also only the second Naga to represent India at Olympics after a footballer in 1948<br>
womens recurve team have slight chance to win a medal<div>deepika kumari will represent india in singles and is a good chance for yellow medal this time</div><div><br></div><div>jayanta talukdar will represent mens singles event...not realistic chance</div><div>mens team will have brisk chance of coming up with a medal as we finished 2nd behind england in recently completed world championship event.....</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>for 10 medals...we have a bright chance to do it this time..</div><div>archery(1-3),shooting(1-4),boxing(1-3),wrestling(1-2) and badminton(1-2) medal chances realistically if they play to their best..</div><div><br></div><div>This is the best indian contingent on the basis of quality too..... we got at least 5-6 former world champions in this contingent </div><div>we should get it this time</div>

<P>I think we get most number of medals from boxing. Mary Kom, Shiva Thapa, Vikash Kishan, Vijendra Singh, L Debendro Singh and Sumit Sangwan are capable of podium finish. Not that hopeful about Monoj Kumar and jai Bhagwan. Vijendra is not in good form currently but he is experienced and dont forget he defeated the World Champion in his category 7-0 in Asian Games final and his nemesis of many tournament , the Cuban guy is not there this time. Mary Kom too had 1-1 record against no. 1 Ren Cancan in 51 kg. Atleast 3 medals with 1 gold we will definitely win.</P>
<P>Next is archery where Deepika Kumari and women team have good chance. Even the men team is peaking at right time. Tarundeep Rai or Rahul can win medal if they maintain their consistency. Atleast 2 medals.</P>
<P>Shooting- Gagan Narang, Sodhi, Abhinaba Brinda and many others are capable but like Archery it depends a lot on that particular day. Hope 2 medals from here also.</P>
<P>Saina Nehwal has a chance to win Gold but she will have to get rid of two Chinese players in Semi-final and Final for that. Not that sure about Jwal Gutta-Aswini pair. Hope they will repeat their performance of World Championship 2011.</P>
<P>No hope from Tennis. All big guys will play doubles in Olympic. Though they are not regular in it , their individual levels are so high that they can compensate for it. </P>
<P>Hockey- Even the coach is targetting top six finish. But , better is possible if Sandeep Singh get back his scoring form and the defence plays well.</P>
<P>Krishna Poonia, Vikash Gowda (both discus throw), Om Prakash Karhana (Shot Put) and Gurmit Singh (Walk) are not far behind from the top athletes in these events. Expect top six finish from them. If luck favours one or two bronze.</P>
