Indian Olympics Dream: Rio 2016

[terranMarine]

My search for the Indian flag in the medal table has ended up a continuous loop as i kept on scrolling and scrolling and scrolling yet i have not given up my hopes because i believe enlightenment is just around the corner.

Maybe India is paying respect and homage to the number ZERO, which was invented in ancient India. How else can we explain the lack of medals so far?

Manoj Kumar defeated petrauskas evaldas from Lithuania to reach round of 16.(64 kgs)
Vikas Krishnan has also qualified for round of 16 yesterday. (75 kgs)

And we have Shiva thapa's bout today at 7 pm IST, Shiva is the strongest contender from Indian boxing team (56 kgs)

Boxing ( Shiva Thappa most likely will play final so gold or silver)

Wonder what made me post that.....

Round of 32: Shiva Thapa vs Ramírez (2012 Olympic gold medalist)

Tough draw for Shiva thapa, current gold medalist Robeisy .
Robeisy is also the one who defeated Shiva in junior Olympics 6 year ago.

 

[TejasMk3]

quite sad Both archers lost out. Their opponents were completely on point, played well, both Deepika and Bombayla were inconsistent.
Archery seems a bit like paperball toss game on phone, with compensation for wind being very important :p
