Golf : Anirban and Chawrasia are in the bottom 10 of the competition
Badminton : I was not expecting medals but didn't expect Saina to get knocked out in group stage - there are reports that she had knee injury. She lost to 66th ranked Ukranian. Sindhu was shacky in the first game but won her match in 3 games. Srikanth won in straight games. Srikanth will face 5th ranked Jan Jorgensen and Sindhu 8th ranked Tai tzu ying. Going to be very difficult for both.
Shooting : Chain did very well in the prone position but not so well in the other 2 positions to finish 23rd. Gagan was average in all 3 positions to finish 29th. Th3 first time since 2004 our shooting team are returning without a medal.
Hockey : India was fully on defence as Belgium had more than 75% of the possession. I was happy that we went 1-0 at half time. However, once the equaliser came knew it was only a matter of time before Belgium go into the lead, which they did and won the match 3-1. Belgium are playing really well won't be surprised if they go all the way.
Athletics : OP Jaisha and Kavitha Raut finished 89th and 120th in the womens marathon.
Tennis : Sania and Bopanna lost in straight sets to the Czech pair and missed out on the medal.
Boxing : Knew it would be a tough match for Manoj Kumar but he tried his best. He lost to the Uzbek boxer. Vikas is the only one left.
Gymnastics : Who would have thought we will have a finalist in Gymastics. In my morning post I had mentioned that I would be very happy if she finishes in top 5, but she went one better to finish 4th. Way to go girl. Dipa Karmakar you should be really proud of what you achieved.
