I hoped to celebrate I- Day eve in RIO 2016 in style but it wasn’t to be. This is what Olympics is all about and that is why it is the greatest sports stage globally. On a given day even the best can be beaten. Deepa scored better than Chinese, Korean and Uzbek gymnasts and all three of them were strong medal contenders.
Hopefully Sania and Rohan will be better than their Czech opponent to win India’s first medal – a bronze. Deepa will also be playing for India’s first medal in Gymnastic and all of us shall be praying for her.
As we get into the second week of RIO 2016, the countdown begins and with some medal hopes fading away on seventh day I am now starting to get anxious. Atanu Das shot very well but rains and the best archer in the world were not in his favor at all.
After so much of excitement, Day 1 events were disheartening for any India fan. I expected shooters to be in the medals but I guess lack of experience and pressure of performance did in.
