Re: Indian Athletics Thread ...

Pooja is surely the next big name in Indian Athletics. Her career trajectory has been really good. In 2023 (aged 16), she won gold at Asian u18 and silver at Asian u20. She won gold at Indian senior nationals and national games. She already made her debut at Asian Championship (7th) and Asian games ...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Our 4x400m records got broken by Japan. They ran 2:58:33. Seems like we won't be breaking this record again anytime sooner

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Her natural weight is 70-72 kg. She use to compete in 72kg till last year but it's a non-olympic category so she chose to go for 76kg. She should go for 68kg category if possible like Amit Elor (USA) did. We have much brighter talent Priya Malik (19) who is a natural 76 kg. She is current world jun...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Quality performance against top seed…no shame as it so very close. Reetika should be good medal prospect for LA if properly groomed and trained. I think she needs develop more muscular strength and age is on her side Her natural weight is 70-72 kg. She use to compete in 72kg till last year but it's...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

It's insane that we have couple decent women in 76 kg now. I remember someone else won bronze in Asian games. And we have current u23 and u20 world champions in this category.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

And the American's bio says, "At the US Olympic Trials in April 2024, she defeated six-time world champion and Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Adeline Gray (USA) to book her spot at the Paris Olympic Games 2024". If Reetika has beaten her last year, well, it all seems like some youth movement...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Wow...He did a crocodile roll on Abakarov and wins 12-0. Nice revenge for that World Championship match.

One of the best moments at Paris for sure.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Aman seems do have decent chance now. If he beats Abakarov and looses in semis he will likely face easier opponent (Puerto Rican) as iranian wrestler has withdrawn. Yes, but beating Akabarov is a must for him. If Akbarov goes thru he is likely to lose against Higuchi in the SF and Aman will not get...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

It's over for Anshu. She lost 2-7 against Helen Maroulis. Helen will now haave to beat Sakurai which seems unlikely. Aman seems do have decent chance now. If he beats Abakarov and looses in semis he will likely face easier opponent (Puerto Rican) as iranian wrestler has withdrawn.
