Golf : Round 4 continues in the men's event which is the last day. Anirban Lahiri and SS Chawrasia are in the fray. We can forget about any medals. Starts at 4pm IST
Badminton : Singles day today with all three - Saina, Sindhu and Srikanth having matches today. All of them should ideally win their matches easily. Saina - 5:25pm IST Sindhu - 7:45PM IST Srikanth - 7:10PM IST
Shooting: Rifle 3 position qualifier is at 5:30. We have Gagan Narang and Chain Singh. Today is the last day for shooting. This is not the main event for both Gagan and Chain. That should free up their mind and help them in performing without any pressure. Let us hope we get at least one medal in shooting. I was personally expecting 3 medals at least in shooting and this performance is a huge let down from our shooters. Even in 2012 Vijay Kumar's main event was the 10m Pistol and he shot without any pressure in the Rapid Fire event and got the silver. Let us hope Gagan or Chain do something similar today.
Hockey : India take on Belgium in the quarter finals today. Belgium is in top form and finished on top of Group A, the group which had Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and Spain. Hope their good run ends today against us. - Starts at 9pm IST
Tennis : Sania and Bopanna take on Stepaneck and Hradecka from Czhech Republic for the Bronze medal. From 2000 we have been hoping for a medal in Tennis the doubles or mixed doubles but that has not translated into anything fruitful so far. Lets hope that changes today. Starts 8:30pm IST
Athletics :
Womens Marathon - OP Jaisha and Kavitha Raut are in the fray. Don't expect anything from them in terms of medals. Starts at 6pm
Boxing : Manoj Kumar takes on the Uzbek Fazlidding Gaib Nazarov. Uzbek boxers are generally very strong. This should be very tough match for Manoj and he lost to Fazliddin last year in the Asian Championships (3-0). Lets hope that result is reversed today. Starts 9:15pm IST
Gymastics : Dipa Karmakar is in the finals. It will be very difficult for her to win any medals. She has to improve her score from qualifiers by at least 0.5 for a medal which is a huge number. There are two parts to the score - Difficulty and Execution. Difficulty she does a 7 which is the prodonova and a 6(they will perform 2 different routines). That will not change as this is what she would have practiced for long time and it is only in the execution that she can get it better but 0.5 will be very difficult. I will be very happy if she gets a top 5 finish. Starts at 11:17PM IST
