First day of Olympics for India

Yet again disappointment for India in the Olympics. In the first day itself India saw some greater pits. There was a great hope in the shooting department but the shooters failed us. Anjali Bagawath, Aveeneth Kaur let us down in the 10 m rifle event getting 29 and 39 positions respectively. The Goldfinger of Indian shooting Samresh Jung really performed far below his own caliber scored only 570 out of 600 and got 42nd position in that event. In judo and boxing too Indians were eliminated in the first round. Another boxer managed to get into super 16 and in rowing Bajrang entered quarter finals. In badminton Saina won her first match against her Russian opponent. In women archery India was out of the competition while in men’s department a better performance was seen.
Hmmm but still Indian people are hopeful that the athletes will win the medal and make the country proud.
