This time India is sending their biggest ever contingent of 81 athletes to the Olympics ... I m really hoping that we will better our the Beijing Olympics medal haul of 3 medals (1 Gold and 2 Bronze) ... As per my calculation we r having chance of winning minimum 6 medals (and optimistic view is 10 medals) -
Archery 1 (here we can surprise to win couple of more considering our performance in World cups but realistically we should win at least 1 medal)
Boxing 2 minimum (we r having chance of winning more medals if our boxers get favorable draw but hoping at least 1 medal from men's and 1 from Mary Kom)
Shooting 1 (here also we r having good opportunity of winning more medals ... Abhinav Bindra is the best bet but we should not forget our other shooters like Gagan Narang, Ronjan Sodhi and Manavjit Singh Sandhu)
Wrestling 1 (here also Sushil Kumar is the best bet as he knows what require to win the medal in this mega event but with good draw young Amit Kumar can give us pleasant surprise)
Badminton/Tennis 1 (at least 1 but Saina having good draw to win her first Olympics medal ... In tennis, mixed doubles pair having realistic chance with little luck in a draw)
