• It was a special day for India at Asiad when we saw our athletes trying to put their best to achieve the superlative performance. Our hearts were swelling up with pride when one by one they picked up three golds for India. • In my yesterday’s summary ,I expected 3-4 golds today,the actual result was close to it.
• It was heartening to see GanapathiPallackalAbrahamJoseph and AkkunjiAshwiniChidananda running for their lives to fetch two golds in men’s and women’s 400m hurdles.TintuLuka although led most part of the race,finally had to settle for a bronze in 800 m as she ran out of steam towards the end.
• Vikash Krishan brought home a boxing gold after 12 years gap in Asiad.Dinesh Kumar settled for silver.
• Indian hockey team got a bronze so did Mausam Khatri break the deadlock in wrestling.
• 3 gold,1 silver,3 bronze,not a bad day at all !We moved upto 8th position in the medal chart with 53 medals(10 gold,14 silver,29 bronze) and equaled with the medal haul of Doha Asiad.

He is not there as a representative of the Govt. of India. He is there as the president of IOA. IOA is an autonomous body whose vice-president is Vijay Kumar Malhotra a BJP man. Only IOA can remove him from that post. Govt has no power to do so. If Govt. will do anything International Olympic Assocaition will debar India from participating in any games conducted by it. I don't understand why Malhotra has not yet fired any salvo towards him. He has moral reasons to do so. Can you throw some light why Malhotra in the capacity of a vice-president IOA is quiet.

Credit to Iran who have won more gold medals than us. Stop being so bitter. Iran is not a terrorist state. Israel, USA and Britain are terrorists. Grow a brain Veerpuram.
