Bombyala 3(10s), 4(9s), 1(8s)
Deepika 1(10) , 4(9s), 2(8s) , 1(7s).
Chekrovolu 2(10s), 3(9s), 1(8s), 2(6s).

That's a poor performance from Deepika as well

The only medal prospect that has gone out (outside chance) is the men's archery team. I think Shiva Thapa was also considered as having an outside chance at a medal. However, agree that our main hopes are still to come. But have now scaled down my expectation from 4-6 to 2-4. We dropped a full meda...

They finished 12th and 23rd.

Once again, a poor first round cost them.

They are down 0-5 in the third so not likely.

On course for a bagel in the third

Atithee: The British press (& the Aussie & NZL) press were more interested in rubbishing the Delhi CWG rather than reporting on the sport or at any rate, looking at the positives. Here, the opposite is happening. Any gaffes are 'gently' ignored and everything is reported as a 'dazzling' suc...

Swarn Singh came in 14th overall in his rowing single sculls event. Not sure whether he did a PB. But he was second among the Asians behind a Chinese and ahead of a Korean. So, hopefully he is at least an Asian medal prospect. That's positive. Rowing always feels to me a potential high RoI Olympic ...

In mens team archery, USA beat Japan just by 1 point 220-219 in the QF & then upset Korea 224-219 in SF . So, it seems all the teams were really close together here. If only our men had kept their nerves in the last turn anything would have been possible. Now, USA & Italy play in the final....

Yes, seemingly we are back to our Olympic ineptness again - the kind where we win 1 medal and the hockey team comes 10th. :D I am still optimistic that we will win 3 medals overall but we had very few sure shots going in. Some of our long shots will hopefully come through in unexpected fashion. At ...

Given the results so far, we would do well to not draw a complete blank.

Assuming he has no chance in air pistol?
