NEW DELHI: Akhil Kumar usually struts his stuff in the ring with a low-guard style much like an upstart in a low-slung baggy jeans, chewing gum and roaming around the park in the hip-hop rhythm.

So, when he came out on Saturday, circling the ring with his guard up, you wondered.

Then suddenly, out came the open-chested full-throttle right to the left cheek of Englishman Iain Weaver which lifted Weaver a few inches off the ground.

Akhil, at that moment, turned back the clock to Melbourne where he was the gold medalist. Weaver took a few nano-seconds to hit the ground and few more to open his eyes. And when the 20-year-old European silver medalist did open his eyes, he couldn't find Akhil. It was a lost case for Weaver.

"If you noticed my guard was up, it was perhaps the first time you were seeing that because he has a good counterpunch. So I was prepared. Last time when we met, there were no points given to me for uppercuts," said Akhil, who won the bout 11-6 on Saturday to reach the quarterfinals. This time they gave me a couple of points. The points on body punches gave me a lot of benefit.

26 Gold medals and empty stands . India has arrived on world sports scene but none to see that

Is it Chetan Bhagat advice working or we are not a sporting nation.

Kallu Mama should be going to Tihar Ashram for all the corruption and mismanagement.

Meanwhile Govt should heed advice of SC
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/nothi ... s/695232/2

Stating that "nothing moves without money", the Supreme Court has expressed concern over growing corruption in government machinery, particularly in the Income Tax, Sales Tax and Excise Departments.

"It is very unfortunate that there is no control over corruption in the country. There is rampant corruption particularly in the department of Income Tax, Sales Tax and Excise Department. Nothing moves without money," a Bench of Justices Markandeya Katju and T S Thakur said.

In a sarcastic vein, the Bench said "why not government legalise corruption so that a specific amount is fixed for every case. Let us say if a man wants his case to be settled, he can be asked to pay Rs 2,500. That way every individual will know how much bribe he has to pay. There is no need for any bargaining by the official and the people will also know beforehand how much they have to pay without any worry."

"Poor Government officials, we can't blame them also because of the growing inflation," the Bench said.

LIVE TV is showing empty stands everywhere while online booking and retail sales counter show that no tickets are availble for any sports for any time for any venue. Reporting from Delhi IST13.28. And I thought that there could not be lower level of mismanagement possible

We regained 2nd spot

, even if for just the time being (I pray it does not reverse now)...
G S B T
AUS 56 31 33 120
IND 26 18 18 62
ENG 24 45 29 98

If we can get the gold to ~32-36 we can retain the 2nd spot (2006 Eng had 36 G for 2nd spot).. Go India Go...
On a gloomy note Eng had whopping 54 G in 2002...(my fingers are crossed)..

sum · Post by **sum** » 10 Oct 2010 14:01

Well, 2002 had the weird rule of 1 Weightlifting gold = 3 Golds in the tally. Thats why even Indian tally for 2002 looks inflated at 30 Golds... So, 2002 might not be a accurate yardstick...

The very fact that we streched England for more than half the duration for 2nd spot shows the strides we have made ( IIRC, England will get the 2nd spot easily and will be happy if we can retian 3rd spot fro Canada). Hopefully, this is the start and in coming games, we will have a assured 2nd spot every time and start chasing Aus for the 1st spot.

Can these idiots make a bigger mess?

Reports from Delhi:- As the stands were empty therefore CWG distributed tickets to their friends and relatives. Practically none of muftkhors turned up so the stands are still empty. On the other all the paying Delhities who wanted to use Sunday to watch CWG by buying the tickets are being turned.

Can this circus turn more foolish?

SaurabhB · Post by **SaurabhB** » 10 Oct 2010 14:25

It was indeed held in Manchester, England ... But does any host nation change the rules in their favor this way??
I mean with these all countries being the common wealth of past England empire, does only they have the right to bend the rules...
If not maybe we should say that each shooting gold will be equal to 10 golds in tally for this time... LOL

Rahul Bannerjee is one lucky guy to win gold when he was trailing by 4 points in last two sets. Anyways, great news for Archery in India. We need to keep building on this to get at least couple of medals in Olympics.

Grrr......These OC b@stards sat on thousands of tickets leaving none to the common public. Its the weekend and there was a huge rush among people to be at the venues.

Apparently there was also a server snag, although only the Toilet is reporting it. The Toilet also reported that the OC paid five times for the games medals tally software what Melbourne had paid and are now giving the contract to somebody who will set up a new system. OC officials of course, denied it because no formal complaint had been filed.

Once the games are over, everybody should be publicly humiliated and sent off. Everybody's in on this massive theft of tax payers money, with lots of incompetence to show for it.

Vasu · Post by **Vasu** » 10 Oct 2010 16:17

and the instances of incompetence keep piling up. One could write a book on it.

I could have got gold had equipment arrived earlier: Ashish

He became the first Indian to win a bronze and silver in different categories in gymnastics and Ashish Kumar on Saturday said he could have claimed a gold had the apparatus arrived on time for the Commonwealth Games.

"I think I could have won the gold had equipment arrived on time for the Commonwealth Games and the venue was also ready on time. Then we could have got the home advantage which we certainly lost out," said the 19-year-old.

Gymnastics Federation of India (GFI) President also added that had the gymnasts got the apparatus in March as they were promised earlier, they might have performed better.

Our real heros are our athletes. May their tribe increase.
