Sindhu has done it better than Saina when it comes to beating Caroline in the past. Though the head to head count is still in favor of Carolina (4-3, I guess), the experience of beating her in the past should give Sindhu the confidence to do well to'ow. All of wishes are with her.

The person who has never reached top and only know theory will always like to give adviceto the top player without anyone ask them .

Hi, It is not the lack of talent that India is suffering from. It is the poor administration and corrupt official who are spoiling the ambitions of the entire nation. Look at the poor preparation leading to the Rio Olympics. Oversized jerseys, Lack of rooms and amenities. Do we even try to pick the squad well in advance, train them in foreign conditions prior to sending them out? NO. Our officials are busy planning a foreign tour for themselves and their families, they have no time to prepare the players for the event. It is this sad truth that is ailing this country

You are right. It is corruption that stops India from developing into a sporting power.
As in every other field of human endeavor, it is corruption that makes India a huge basket case in sports too !
As per the 2015 Transparency International report, India is placed 153rd among 178 countries surveyed in terms of cleanliness in public life (least corrupt placed no. 1 and the most corrupt placed 178th).
And who is responsible for India being so hugely corrupt year after year after year, decade after decade after decade ??
The politicians ?
The bureaucracy ??
The business class ??
Of course, all these 3 segments are hugely corrupt.
But who makes them or allows them to be corrupt ??
It is the commoners, right ?
Khushwant singh said (way back in 1994) : Indian commoners are among the stuxpidest in the world; they re-elect thieves.
It is the commoners who keep electing and re-electing thieves, right ?
They think that if they elect a different set of thieves after 5 years, corruption will reduce, right ?
They accord respect, attend rallies, express awe and admiration.....and finally vote for thieves, right ?
They either vote for Congress thieves or BJP thieves or BSP thieves or SP thieves or DMK thieves or AIADMK thieves or RJD thieves or SS thieves or TMC thieves or........, right ?
When they vote, they imagine that corruption will come down and then when it does not, they think that corruption is inevitable, right ?

Piri. why no remarks for Communist party who now rule your Kerala state ? Have they done any constuctive work in their life ? why they have presence only in kerala and rejected elsewhere in the country ?
Re: Re: Re: Re: India, with 2 medals so far,
by piri on Aug 19, 2016 04:05 PM
North Indian, the answer about the Communist partys achievements in Kerala will be too long, if all the comparative data is presented !
To cut a long story short, the Communist party is the main reason why Kerala has human development indices that compare with those of several developed European countries !
These details about human development will be too intimidating for people hailing from North India, one of the worst boondocks in the entire world in such respects !
Re: Re: Re: India, with 2 medals so far,
by piri on Aug 19, 2016 11:42 AM
They imagine that all the large scale diversions of natural and public wealth to croxny capitalists that have been going on uninterrupted for the last quarter of a century constitutes development, right ? They cant see that ultimately, the ones who will be worst affected because of such large scale loot are themselves, right ?
The stuxpidest elements among these commoners believe that corruption is inevitable and make the following ridiculous statement : Corruption exists everywhere !
Of course corruption exists everywhere but what these peabrains cannot understand is the huge differences in scale !

What is your contribution to indian sport except writing long and useless comments ? Have you ever said anything good for the country you live in ?

I think your contribution is not more than reducing the same ratio (by adding yourself in population count).
sindhu - saina does not fears anyone- fears xuerui and tai zhu big match winner - big match loser humble - big mouth respcts coach gopi - criticised coach gopi fit and agile - unfit,fat and ladenfooted does not demand - demands awards olympic silver/gold - bronze (that too fluke)
Re: sindhu vs saina
by Ashok Kumar on Aug 19, 2016 10:31 AM
This is not the time to compare, dear friend. These 2 were the best India could sent and 1 of them failed earlier (whatever may be the reason) and the other has reached the finals. let us hope and pray that Sindhu remains focused and plays to her potential when it matters. Let us play player politics now
Re: sindhu vs saina
by Pradip Shah on Aug 19, 2016 10:36 AM
No one care what rubbissh you write for Saina. One can not ignore her achievement in the past. It seem you hate her for the reasons best known only to you Mr Dhantannan
Re: Re: sindhu vs saina
by Dhantannan on Aug 19, 2016 10:41 AM
yes anyone who critices coach attracts dsilike. coach is guru. its gurus curse she is in this state now. 1st round exit for her and final for sindhu.
Re: Re: Re: sindhu vs saina
by MNN on Aug 19, 2016 12:31 PM
On a hindsight , what dhantannan said is right , if you criticise your guru, who taught you the basics, it will come back to you. If one has to move on in life, move on , but without rancour please.
If a player stumbles at some stage despite best efforts and despite the horrendous state of support for sport back home in India, the Indian press keeps tearing him or her apart no end !
And similarly, if a player wins a game against the odds, the Indian press keeps repeating its praises no end !
Signs of a nation so hard pressed for sporting glory and a nation cowering in shame for being so short of sporting achievements despite being so horrendously overpopulated !

Mr Dhantannan, One thing is sure that you are a biggest hater of Saina for the reason only best known to you the way you are constantly criticising her forgetting her achievements.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Disproportionate extent

Mr Dhantannan, You may ask Her Gopichnd. He is till her well wisher unlike you who has nothing but only hate for her. And important thing, dont consider yourself an expert and guru on this sport. The player who has taken the great efforts and done hard work will not like to loose against anyone and always try to rise to the occassion. She will be the best judge what to do against her opponent. Like every Indians, you can only wish her best of luck instead of giving any advice. She will do her best without any doubt.
Carolina is a very very good player. She has improved tremendously in the last year and she was the only one to show the Chinese girls their place. No doubt she starts as the overwhelming favorite. Ther is another aspect that Sindhu has to be wary of. Carolina carries her gamesmanship a bit too far. She very deliberately delays between points to disturb the concentration of the opponent. The match umpire only keeps warning her but she has never been penalised for it.She has this habit of getting under the skin of the opponent. So Sindhu be alert.
Re: Different Fish
by piri on Aug 19, 2016 10:06 AM
Let us admit the fact. Sindhu is very good with her game, but not nearly as good as Marin (neither in her game nor her gamesmanship) !

She is going to play at the stadium and she know what to do and she will definitely tried her best . She dont need your advice. the constant and valuable advice of Gopichand will be available to her at Rio during her final match
Re: Re: Re: simple mantra
by Pradip Shah on Aug 19, 2016 10:46 AM
If you are a real sports person you could have prayed for Saina also istead of using your hatre against her . She is representing the country in Olympic event
No more medals in sight for India in the remaining 2-3 days .
BOTH MEDALS WON BY GIRLS !!
MEN found to be useless(nalayak) in a male dominated society !!
India's image in front of the world will improve with this example showing that India is inching towards male-female equality,like in developed countries.
