Rajyawardhan Rathod scored 46 in his first round in 2004 on his way to win Silver, but this time the competition is tougher :)
BTW Sodhi has both the world records of scoring 147 in Qualification as well as the final score 194 (147+47) :)
Second round started.....Sodhi should score 145+ in...
Paes-Vardhan crashed out after a spirited display against the second seeded pair. But , I felt Paes-Bopanna pair would have been best for India. Vardhan lacks the finishing skill while Boppana is good at it.
@TW...Deepika lost out. Exit of the third medal hopes after Shiva and woman recurve team.
South Africa and Canada will play QF without wining a match in groups....what a joke...
Anyway Saina is there ......and till now P Kashyap is the best performer of India going above all expectation...
That is the logical solution. otherwise some pairs may progress without winning any match. For example these expelled pairs are from group A and C where Canada and South Africa respectively haven't won any match...now hope for the best...
And there is a third possibility that the QFs will be...

You need to win or atleast snatch a point from Britain to hope for Semi-final. Dont think of Australia; they can do the same with any team in the competition (excluding Germany)....another tough team in your group is Argentina who plays very defensive...but you need to win that one. You can...
All archers except Deepika Kumari are out.
Tarundeep Rai to the Korean archer (who was in 2nd position in ranking round) 2-6...
Only Deepika is left of the fancied Archery team...
I like his approach...that can unsettle even the top boxers...if you remember the video I posted -the bout between Devendro and a South Korean boxer who is ranked 2. The Korean was dropped twice but managed to win...and even there the score was bit controversial.
Tejo Mahalaya....you also jump after reading (or just hearing of it) books by P N OAK (joke is better).
Go...read his book and if you something called brain you will understand how stupid logic he has given.....BTW Oak is the same person who claimed Christianiti came from Krishna Niti...
