Bharat Rakshak

Vikas Krishnan loses, lost steam in the third round and looked spent.

Time to sleep I guess

I hope Azarenka is tired with back to back matches. It isn't over yet.

From a completely layperson point of view, Poonia's technique seems the most fluid. There is a Cuban and Chinese who are throwing in the same range as Poonia.

Is there any relationship between the size of the population and sporting success or even success of any kind? There are always statements like "1 billion people cannot produce fast bowlers/medal winners" etc. There are obvious caveats like it is not the size of the population but the func...

If you want to know what happenes to the Chini medal winners after Olympics is over, read these Time and NYTimes articles http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1644120,00.html http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/21/sports/olympics/21athlete.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all All of these might be true...

Gutta/Ponnappa through to the next round. win.

Gutta/Ponnappa take the first set 21-16

Tarundeep Rai came back from the brink to qualify into 1/16

She was leading till the penultimate arrow and lost due to one wayward attempt

Kashyap wins first set 21-9

EDIT: Kashyup wins!

Hammertime! Saina wins 21-4, 21-14. Only in the second set she had to shift gears.
Saina has the domineering presence of a champion, it was like a cat toying with a mouse.

Saina Nehwal wins first set 21-4. That took roughly 10 minutes.

11-8 to Nehwal in second set. The score doesn't reflect the dominance.

Saina Nehwal's match has just started.

11-2 Nehwal.

Agreed, now it feels we deserve a medal everytime I see a match. Earlier, it used to be all gloom and pall.
Nice to see a sports minister like Ajay Maken who is hands on, on the job and committed.

India's appeal against Sumit Sangwan's bout has been rejected #London2012

He is NDTV's cricket editor. It is robbery if it is true.

Yeah, it did and surprisingly not given. Whats with the luck today?

India lost 2-3 to Holland.


kshatriya, Thanks, stand corrected.

Damn, another miss. 2-3 scoring chances went a-begging.

Bummer, 3-2 holland.

Cool, Bhupathi/Bopanna wins and India scores a goal against Holland!

Edit: 2-2 now! Come on guys!

And a Japanese guy got his result overturned against Korea by appealing. Hope the officials are on their toes. SBajwa, I remember seeing a Discovery channel episode where for football team selection, the Chinese (army?) guys were made to run long distance race and the selection was based on the comp...

How long will the summer Olympics' sheen last, since Chinese have started topping the table?

I thought Deepika is the number one seed.

Sangwan seemed to have performed better than what the results showed. Why did this purdah point system came into effect? Can we appeal the result?

Jai Bhagwan wins his bout in the 60kg category. Looked very confident and dominated the whole bout.
