Paris Olympics 2024 Day 1 - 10 - Page 32

Those body smashes looked unplayable. I am not that mad at PV as I am at Satwik-Chirag..they lost a winning game....she lost to a better opponent..it was a different scenario in Tokyo 2020 against the same player..but He Bing Jiao was dangerous and almost controlled both the sets..had the court coverage, had those unplayable smashes, trick shots, better placement of shots..Sindhu was struggling to play her natural game..and was reactive all throughout.

𝐏. 𝐕 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐮 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐐𝐅.

Sindhu lost to WR 9 He Bingjiao of China 19-21, 14-21.

Now only Lakshya is there from Indian Badminton Team.

India has started doing well in new sports.

But they have started degrading in the ones where they used to be okayish.

Specially the women

Except Sindhu there was no one, doubles had a horrible tournament by not even winning a single set

Hockey team not qualifying

No tennis player.

All the heartbreak in Boxing and Archery.

Most heart breaking was archery nd hockey for me like we are so good at hockey we get out at early stage nd a early kick out from tennies

Archery Deepika was performing quite well but then at pre quater they started losing

India nd it's dushmani with knockouts

If not been of of our poor performance in knockout we would been world champions in cricket hockey Olympics (one of the highest medal collector)

@bold : We don't have any confirmation about this information. IOC has said that they went by whatever sex was mentioned in the athlete's passport. Algeria doesn't recognise trans so unlikely that would explicitly mention if the athlete was such. The only confirmation we have is that IBF disqualified this athlete because of failed gender test (which did not just involve testosterone levels). Biological females can't have testosterone level as high as males unless they are seriously ill or are injecting it. There's no overlap in the range of normal levels of testosterone b/w males and females. It is highly likely that the case involves the athlete having XY chromosomes.

Athletes with XY chromosomes = Biological Males (even in cases of XY DSDs which seems to be the issue here)

Whatever it is, the IBF already disqualified this athlete, the least IOC could do was clear the reasoning behind allowing this athlete.

I'm all for not allowing trans people in women's space but if a biological woman is born with a chromosome deficiency then there's nothing which says she shouldn't be allowed which is what IOC did.

Chinese train their athlete in a special Olympics school from a very young age. Some younger girls are also reported to have taken testosterone to be a better athlete over there. They are going to dominate the Olympics for a very long time, maybe forever.

yeah I have QF Phobia now.

I can still take the pressure of semi finals and then a subsequent bronze match if we dont qualify for finals..but enough with this QF main haarnaa

our contingent is just 117 players..China sends 388 something, US sends 500 players..1.4 billion people - i refuse to believe we dont have enough talent.
