Gagan Narang opened the account for India. India had lot of good results yesterday except loss of hockey team to Netherlands by 2-3.India could have drawn the match or even won it if our players did not miss the two penalty corners.Another bad news was controversial decision against Sumit Sangwan.
Although there are no medal rounds for India today,many atheletes will have to fight it out to move to the next round.
Bhupathi Bopanna is having a match against weaker opponent in the second round compared to the gruelling fight they had undergone against Miriyani and_Bury in the first round.
Paes_Vardhan will be fighting it out against French duo of Llorda_and_Tsonga.
Jayanta,Rahul and Tarundeep will be appearing in 1/32 of archery individual,if they win,they will have to play 1/16.I just hope that our archers will not blame weather again like how Dhoni blames the pitch if India losers.Weather will be same with same wind speed for all the archers and olympic committee will fix some special cyclonic wind for our atheletes.BTW,Sumit Sangwan had to face the music of unfriendly_wind when he was deprived of a much deserved win in his boxing bout.
There is Swuro ,the lowest ranked female archer in the fray as well in 1/32 round,and hopefully 1/16 as well !
No much hope,but in 69 kg group B ,Ravi kumar will be lifting weight.
Jwala_Diju will play in an inconsequential badminton mixed doubles group match against Korean opponents.They already lost the 2 matches played

played earlier,and it will be just a formality to take part in the ultimate one.
Kashyap has an easy match against Nguyen_T of Vietnam and he is sure to move to next round.
Our rowers are mystery elements for us.They are trying their best.In double skull,Indian pair will be fighting in repechages_round for a place in quarter finals.In single skulls,Sawarn_Singh will row his boat in quarter finals.
Devendro_Singh and Manoj_Kumar will be boxing and it is hoped that they will get fair decision to move forward to next round.
Two most beautiful Indian women in the squad ,Jwala_and_Ashwini will play their last group match in women’s badminton.They are in a good position after beating the top seeded Chinese_Taipei pair of the group yesterday and is almost certain to reach quarter finals round.
Garima_Chaudhury will take part in 69 kg Judo 1/32 round just for fun.With the level of competition,I donot think she can win a medal.Any how,we should not be miser in our wishes for her as she may move upto few rounds and so let us hope for the best.

Don't count the chicks before they are hatched ! I am not being pessimistic, but notwithstanding a player's background, what matters is how well a competitor plays in an Olympic match, in that hour or two. Anything could happen -- Saina no doubt is a top-ranked player and should come out well in all her matches. But the unthinkable too happens, so wait till all the matches have been played!

Anything can happen at any time. It doesn't mean that we need to be pessimistic. It is as bad as being over optimistic. There is nothing with being hopeful as long as we accept whatever the end result may be and move on.
