• 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.

Let's check Tintu's SEX. Is she intersex like P.T Usha was?. P.T started to avoid sex tests in Major competitions because she was aware of this, that if she goes for sex test she will fail the sex test. That's where team Dr. played his role. P.T decided that if they force her to go for sex test SHE will withdraw from the competition BUT will not go for sex test. Everybody was told that P.T was sick BUT those who were concerned or should I say "nose pokers" said "She is eating in dining hall b'fast,lunch& dinner, what kind of sickness she got?" P.T stop training cause her then coach said its Quoted "I will not let this happen to P.T what happened to Ansuya bai in 1978 Bangkok Asian Games." (Ansuya failed the sex test & she was send back.) Finally team dr convinced them and P.T didn't go for sex test. Later P.T went for sex change,got married & continued sports BUT couldn't perform as before. Mark my words...Tintu will will fail the sex test if a dubious athlete will protest. THIS IS NOTHING BUT TRUTH. "hermaphrodites in sports"
