Re: 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023
Sreesanth is getting ready. There is breakdancing. Why on earth do they include such things? I suppose to appear "cool". There is something called Esports. I have no clue what it is. It is not equestrian sports. There is cricket. I hope the BCCI morons will do the right thing and send strong teams.

Can chess finally make its way to multisporting events via esports?

What did my daridravasi do? I saw he was going to act in a movie with Sunny Leone. Didn't see any Asiad connection.

He is a breakdance enthusiast. See: Article. So, when I saw breakdancing and sports, I thought of him. He has sporting genes although I do not know if you need a different set for whatever sport breakdancing is. Thus, the connection.

Re: 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023
Great, does that increase our chances for team and individual medals in golf or reduces it ? I have not looked at pro rankings to see which nation has better ranked players than us but I guess Korea and Japan are really good in pros.

Re: 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023
It will make the event competitive. South Koreans dominate the rankings, 5 out of top-10 Asian golfers are from Korea and and top 2 have already confirmed their participation for Asian Games. Anirban and Shubhankar Sharma are ranked 4th & 12th respectively and should have a good chance. I expect a strong challenge from Thai & Japanese golfers as well. Anirban Lahiri had a won team's silver medal in 2006 edition.
Women's category will be dominated by Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Thai golfers for sure. I expect Aditi to do well in individual event. In 2014 Games, Aditi finished T21.
We have not won any medals since 2010 and I am hoping that this time we should win at least 1 medal.

Re: 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023
Yes, we have won team medals earlier in Asiad. I think that will be best chance again in golf. With Anirban and Shubhankar our mens team would be quite good.
Btw, why is everyone selecting the Asiad teams so much in advance ? it is still more than 4 months away.

Yeah, but the objective should be the best team is selected to play for India and for that current form is quite important even if it affects scheduling of some of the players for few weeks.
