he allowed the other boxer to land too many punches, his defence was poor too. I hope he doesn't take his next fight casually.

I told you he would get through 3 medals in men's boxing for India

The Kiwis are always very sporty.

Unbelievable performance for a country with a population under 5 million. Kudos to the aussies and scots also.

not defenceless. . but the boxer is weak to bring the punches... again watch the match ... TTO guy is not upto the mark.. so Vijender followed that strategy. ..

kahan ki jaat power ... all 4 wrestler lost the final.

Still I hope he changes his tactics in the Semis, he failed to grab Gold due to such strategies in previous tournaments.

it is not depending on the population size but the training levels... Even many Indians dont even know about some games like squash.. until now we haven't promoted games like western countries does... Most of us like cricket more ... hopefully many youngsters are showing interest in other games... see our athletes many of them from rural background ..until few years ago no govt or private firms, didn't provided basic needs of wrestlers ... After sushil tremendous performance. .. Media focus on Sushil back ground. . Their condition is improved .... In other words we got plenty unprocessed diamonds in India ... countries like kiwis have processed diamonds ... it will take time for us.. but we are on right way now..

Thanks bro, all the best. God protect you.

Anyone else watching the female gymnastics session for other reasons apart from the level of sport?

I know, I wasn't having a dig at India. However out of 2 similarly developed countries, the one with the higher population will get more medals. NZ and Australia, however, have a very strong sporting culture which allows them to compete with developed countries many times their size.

Haha, yes. But then again I am English.
It's all about the cycling girls.

No probs. I am supporting New Zealand. A nation of 4 million producing a lot of high calibre athletes.

Traitor.

Silver rain today after gold yesterday
A lot of work to do in wrestling too, from the people we've seen I think currently just Sushil and Amit would stand a chance in the olympics, the rest might make it to quarters or the semis ,but as far as medals I dont know. But good that there is lots of names being unearthed and they are young.

Noticed that the Nigerians were quite powerful. Even Sushil had difficulties in his semi final against them, but went through because of superior strategy/tactics.

Anyway, Yogeshwar Dutt and a few others will be in action tomorrow, plus hopefully more good news from the boxing, also maybe a medal in athletics from Vikas Gowda!

If you can get a proxy, use the bbc site. 12 streams, top quality, that is what I'm using now. I've completely ditched those TV Channels, the bbc site is seriously awesome. (of course you would need to have decent speed broadband and be okay with watching on your pc)

It begins

Wrestling -- Pawan Kumar beats S Hill of New Zealand 4-0 to enter quarterfinals of Men's Freestyle 86kg event
Table Tennis -- Achanta Sharath Kamal & K Shamini beat Australian pair of D Powell & JF Lay to enter quarterfinals of the Mixed Doubles event
