India at Rio - What is left still?

With just 6 more days left in the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics the Indian team is yet to open it's account in terms of medals. Things are looking very bleak at this moment and we might end up with a medal tally lesser than London. I hope we don't go to the levels of Beijing. 

Badminton - Sindhu and Srikanth are in the quarters and are playing beautifully. However, their quarterfinals opponents are going to be tough. 

Wrestling - We still have 7 members in wrestling who are still yet to start competing. This is the big medal hope for us. 

Athletics 
4*400 Relay for Men and Women - 12 Athletes (excluding 2 who have participated in 400m runs it is 10 who have not taken part so far)
Men's Marathon - 3 Athletes
Men's 50km Walk - 1 Athlete 
Womens 800m - 1 - Tintu Luka 
Womens 20KM Walk - 2 Athletes

Golf - The women's event has not started yet and we have Aditi Ashok in it. 

So out of the 118 who went to the games there are only 29 left in the fray. Biggest disappointment has been Shooting, Boxing and Archery. Badminton and Wrestling are the only medal hopes for us now.
