Last time it was 66 medals in total. This time Shooting is not there, in which last time we got 16 medals. So still we should be able to get around 50. Currently at 33. A below par performance this time.

Squash, Badminton, Table Tennis didn't go as well as the last time.

Yes Haryana state as expected. Great pedigree there. Indeed a humble chap who was sharing a joke with the Pakistani wrestler on the podium. I'll upload the clip.

Pakistani players are not attacking. Could have been more exciting.

Yes no attack at all just counters but that also shows the technical ability of the Indian wrestlers i.e. the other player feels in danger of being thrown.
Well done to Naveen.

I hope we can win some medals in Olympic too.

You will do for sure. That's the biggest stage with the three big wrestling superpowers Russia, Iran and the USA there which is the ultimate test.
