Jitu Rai - "I let my country down. There was wind but I don't want to make any excuses."

Please someone tell this guy we are very proud of him and I m damn sure he will win 2 medals at Tokyo Olympics ... Jitu Rai, you are gentleman and THE champion.

Group B is meant for lower-ranked competitors who have registered lower entry weights and by finishing fourth even in this category, Sivalingam has no chance to be on the podium.

Australia have thrashed Indian women with an emphatic 6-1 win today ... Nothing more to write about it.

Manoj Kumar completed tight win over Evaldas Petrauskas in 2-1 favor ... Next having tough match against Uzbek Fazliddin Gaibnazarov.

Very well said Sir. We all are very proud of what Jitu has achieved in shooting. Just 1 bad day in office can never take away the laurels he has brought 4 India. Even Abhinav Bindra did not win a medal in his 1st Olympics. Miles 2 go Jitu! He definitely will come out even stronger!!!
