• 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 bronze.
• 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.

it is not at all embarasing. In fact we are strongly competing with countries like bahrain and singapore and giving them a run for their money. TOI gives it at timesofindia DOT indiatimes DOT com/medalshow/6851494.cms

It is embarrassing. Even countries like Iran and Kazakhstan are ahead of us. Even tiny Chinese Taipei is ahead of us. Hope we Improve in coming days.

look at history of sports in india and we will not feel shame at this asian games becuase we are very late comers as country to these sports and improving at everystage.Just need to keep pushing ahead and as said all good things take time to accomplish and we have just started, so keep head high and feel proud for these athletes who are fighting for our pride.
