Beijing Olympics 2008
Day 10 (18th August 2008)

Boxing -
Men's Bantam (54kg) Quarterfinal 3

Akhil Kumar (IND) l Veaceslav Gojan (Maldova) 3-10

1-1 after first round
2-2 after second round
2-6 after third round
3-10 after fourth round

Surprising meltdown ( I know little harsh word but using it from final points ... sorry about it. ) by Akhil ... I think Maldovan Veaceslav Gojan turned in to very good tactical boxer, who matched Akhil's un-orthodox style ... So with that another medal hope evaporated, now all hopes r pinned on Jitender and Vijender.

Akhil and Jitender r un-orthodox style boxers ( having similar style) but they can be struggle against technically good boxer and today I think that happened with Akhil.

Athletics -
Men's Triple Jump Qual. Round

35 Renjith Maheswary (IND) 15.77 mtrs

Very poor jump from Renjith, who almost a meter below his season best of 16.53 mtrs and well below his personal best 17.04 mtrs ... He finished 35th in 39th atheletes.

Table Tennis -
Women's Singles Preliminary Round

Neha Aggarwal (IND) l Jian Fang Lay (AUS) 1-4 (12-10 8-11 11-13 8-11 4-11) (34mins)

So Neha's challenge got over in first round ... But hopefully this 18 yrs old girl use this Olympics experiance to succeed further in her career.
