Do we even know how to spell jujutsu?

We won 11-10 11-10

1st game to India 11-10

I think 100 medals and 25 golds is realistic estimate. Total medals as per list posted by Ankit and 7 more golds ( 3 in archery, 1 in cricket, 1 kabaddi, 1 in squash, 1 in hockey). I think we have 50% chance of gold in Kabaddi women, Hockey women and squash mixed doubles and another gold in compoun...

Btw we have Sable participating in the 5000m, so could be another gold there

This is funny. Is he aiming at the target or at his opponent?

This is probably hindsight, but why did Prannoy not play a token match, so that Lakshay and Srikanth got easier opponents, knowing fully well our backup was quite useless? That was the first thing that came into my mind when I learned of Prannoy's injury.

From my analysis of our chances in the remainder of the events, we will likely end up with 83-88 medals (best guess 86) and with 22-25 gold medals (best guess 24). The big unknown is athletics and the drop in performance due to receding spinach effect. If a big number of athletes show a drop like Hi...

And continuing on the topic of bright team decisions, who decided on pairing Ankita with Yuki rather than Bopanna? That also likely cost us a medal too. (And Ankita playing 3 events on the same day is completely incomprehensible as well).

Is it our strategy to select the worst shooter for the mixed team event? First we select Panwar for the rifle event and now Sekhon for the skeet one, both decisions costing us a medal each. Who is the bright one making these decisions?

What is the issue with stapled visa? They cannot travel on a stapled visa?

I think we will win a lot of bronzes this time, China is going to pick up most of the Golds on offer. We might have a record medal haul.

The net result is that Pakistan has a good chance of winning a medal, they will likely need to beat China in bronze-medal match.

Thanks for posting. I was trying to dig them up (desperately) yesterday, but without much luck. Some thoughts: Ankita seems to have a fair bit of workload. She could have skipped WD Is KKT not fully fit, o/w singles seems to be her stronger suite than doubles Interesting that Yuki is partnering Anki...

Due to some weird ranking logic, TPE (3) and Qatar (4) were ranked ahead of Japan (5) when the draw was made. Hence it was just our luck that we ended in Japan/KOR section of draw rather than Qatar/TPE section. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleybal ... sian_Games
