Archery- Women's Team 1/4 Eliminations : India vs China - BANERJEE Dola, DEVI Laishram Bombayla, VARDINENI Pranitha
It is a tough draw for Women's team. China has got some good archers. But if the team puts in their best performance they can surely upbeat China.
Badminton- Badminton Women's Singles Round of 32: NEHWAL Saina
- Badminton Men's Singles Round of 64: SRIDHAR Anup
After an easy victory yesterday and looking at her current form Saina should be able to move to the next round. Anup should also be able to move to the next round. Both the players are better ranked than their opponents.
Rowing- Lightweight Men's Double Sculls: KHANDWAL Devender Kumar, SINGH Manjeet
Even I dont know much about them :(
Shooting- Men's 10m Air Rifle P-Event Training: BINDRA Abhinav, NARANG Gagan
- Men's Trap: SANDHU Manavjit Singh, SINGH Mansher
Shooting has always been India's medal hope in Olympics. Lets see for a change if it doesn't remain hope and become a reality.
Swimming- Men's 200m Freestyle: KHADE Virdhawal
He is the current Indian sensation in Swimming. He was the junior World Record holder in 50 m, 100 m and 200 m Freestyle in 2006 (I am not sure if he still is...). But it is to be seen whether this 16 years old lad is up for the International Challenge. Personally he is my best bet for 2012 Olympics.
Tennis- Men's Doubles First Round: BHUPATHI Mahesh, PAES Leander
- Women's Doubles First Round: MIRZA Sania, RAO Sunitha
Bhupathi and Paes have time and again shown their magic together. Lets see if they can leave their personal differences aside and make country proud (just one more time...!!). Sania and Sunitha will also be competing in the Women's Doubles.
BTW PwC (or some other agency... Who cares??) has predicted that India will win 6 medals this time. They took various factors like GDP, population, previous medals into account. I hope at least India performs better than Athens' 2004. A lot will matter on today's results. All in all it is going to be a happening day for Indian fans. Pray for something to cheer us...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz(2:51am)
