^^ Thanks for the info about TT having team event (of which doubles is one match) rather than plain doubles. So a country needs depth to get medal in team events and that is something a big country like India can aspire for if not in this Olympics then in future.

For comparison from the last 2 Olympics, our predictions have been mostly accurate Olympics SI Gracenote Actual Rio 2 5 2 Tokyo 8 19 7 Thanks a lot Sin Hombre. Super like for the comparison between AI and SI. SI has beaten AI hands down so far, i expect the trend holds . BTW any long shot possibili...

The jokers from Gracenote so far haven't published a full virtual medal table this year like they did in the past 5 Olympics or so. They published only Top-20 this time so far. At Tokyo 100 days before the games they projected 17 medals (4G, 5S, 8B) for us. I think this time around finally they real...

We all relied on this thread for medal count by sport. But keeping track of 100 + medals over 2 weeks on a daily basis was no mean undertaking. Would like to appreciate the effort of Sameer for this thread. Thanks a lot Sameer!

^^ More analysis from above table India has improved in over all medal tally, but concerning thing is it may have regressed at Olympic level in the sports (other than shooting) that we usually get medals. I think ONLY golds at Asian games matter to even expect a bronze or better at Olympic level. In...

Tried to summarize the performance compared to 2018 games. Please feel free to add /update comments about progress or regress. 2022 Medals by sport Sport Gold Silver Bronze Total Shooting 7 9 6 22 (Progress) Athletics 6 14 9 29 (Progress only in total medals not in Gold) Archery 5 2 2 9 (newly adde...

so we can now safely assume a Gold... 32-29... done and dusted... let the ethics conversation go on... Actually the online scoreboard says 33-29. So if we got 4-1 at 28-28 to go to 32-29, we scored one point in the remaining time. If the officials had given 1-1 instead of 4-1, we would have STILL w...

Thanks for correcting. Yes Compound was there in 2018 but only in team events..individual medals were added in this edition and that benefited us.

Yes. Kabaddi and Sepaktakraw (the kick volleyball !) with its acrobatic skills were the most watch worthy but haven't gained the popularity they deserved in my opinion.

A gold by slenderest of margins 26-25. Taipei players crying..not the best Gold we would like to have but this is the 100th medal. Mission accomplished !

Bajrang got outplayed by the Japanese. He looked in no sort of condition to even challenge this Japanese who is not even their best wrestler in this category. It was asine to select Bajrang without any evidence of him being match fit after he was absent from action for such a long time. We may be l...

Easy win to move into Final…

I think not just India, every nation may have sent its B team with world cup already started!

What a come back from Aman sherawat winning over Iranian 19-8.

Wily Prannoy…what a match just no words playing with back injury but still making it count for medal

Another thriller and must watch from Prannoy losing 2 match point in 2nd set and saving 2 match points in the 3rd… way to go!!
