Oh yes. I forgot the AstroTurf thing. Before that India was literally invincible. It took a long long time for India to adjust to turf and be in medal winning situations.

I just hope nothing ugly happens in Men's finals. Which reminds me of women's bronze match. Whole game hindi commentators kept taunting the organizers about the bias in Semi. And 3 decisions went against India in bronze match. Thank god for review system it was over turned. And in the shootout one decision went against us when the commentators said it should have been in favour of us. Thank goodness for the Wall Savita who made all these immaterial.

But again apart from these things, indian team needs to be strong mentally more. So that when we face Aus more, we beat them and don't get intimidated.

Ex : after the infamous Sydney test where aus and umpires cheated till the limit and Anil kumble said something like 'only one team was playing cricket', India won at Perth and then the CB series. There is a very good article on the CB series win. https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/787962

I remember commentator saying if NZ took referral why Didnt India too?

It's in our mentality too. Chalta hai chalne do, aage ho jayega. We don't go full throttle.

Yeah I remember about this series. Aussie couldnt belive some browns can answer them back.

If they will cheat again FIH will apologize. And Indians will let go🤔

Ohhh..No..

Smriti mandhana out for 6.😢

What a Victory that was.👏🥳 No one expected this and she had no hype. Most didn't even know her name. People knew Lovlina and Nikhat. Lovlina Lost but Nikhat showed why she is world champion. Now there is a 3rd boxer to follow Nitu.

Me too she was total surprise. I know lovelina coz of Olympic and nikhat coz of her rift with marykom. Chalo good thing she is carrying the legacy forward.

Expected tbh. Hima Das should have started the relay. She could have given us the lead. Once you have the lead you can maintain but its hard to make up if you trail. Dutee Chand has all the hype and news because of the controversy (was tested because of too much hormones and whether she was actually a women) but hardly any performance. Always finishes bad. Other 2 were just upto no match. India needs 4 Hima Das for a medal in 4x100. 😆 One of them in the making Priya Mohan. Dutee needs to live up to the hype now and we will have a solid team. There are also some good prospects in u20 (from where Hima came).

Also we need genetics also for 100 m. Long distance and endurance we are getting there but 100 m is tough and need genetics. Maybe import some desis settled else where. 😆

What hima can do when she is lead leg. Not the same level of opponents but if not a win can definitely get a Bronze in CWG. https://youtu.be/AIAquq9pZ2U

100 ms is very far far away dream. Africans aren't gonna leave that podium in near future.

They all are the same. England has the advantage of being the host nation. Funny that most of the boxing finals were against England.

I have noticed one more thing. After adding Shooting and Archery too most of the medals have come from physical or violent sports. 🤣 Maybe the Mahabharat era warrior Indian spirit is waking up. All the non violence and ahinsa crap hasn't had any effect. 😆

Last time India won 26 Golds and were at no. 3

So technically dekha jae toh India isn't doing better than last time.

Uper se decisions going against India.

Here in CWG were getting medals on medals come Olympic we don't even get 10 .

All wrestlers, boxers, badminton all crumble on world setup. Most to most silver. God knows how nation went crazy over Abhinav Bindra and Neeraj.

And I am most curious about Deepika kumari in archery. I used to here so much praises about her,world no 1 yeh voh,but in Olympic she always fail.🤔

Deepika case is similar to Kohli. Just win everywhere in bilaterals and other ranking events. But fail in Olympics/World cups.
