@VishankRazdan @olympic_indian Sir, please make a episode on Indian archery. I am eagerly waiting for it. I have watched your wrestling, hockey, shooting episodes and will watch badminton soon.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@supersonicbirua Sir, I want them to atleast finish on the podium of african nations cup. They seriously deserve it in future.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@MisraSundeep Sir, I have seen many of my friends follow even archery world cup stages so deeply because archery is the sport they love though olympic success never comes. Support from fans is always there but do you think consistent global success like Korea is missing? Please reply Sir.

@TeaChaiLa That turn towards other sports like Iran is not happening in Indian sports because 1983, 2011, 2024, 2026 effect has engulfed India. I sincerely hope things change in the next 20 years atleast.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@TeaChaiLa Sir, that is where country like Iran stands out. In Iran, men's football is no 1 sport, but can Iran win FIFA world cup? No right Sir. That makes Iranians turn towards wrestling for olympic golds. But you know the 1983 effect on indian sports. This is why Iran are lucky.

@supersonicbirua Sir, I read in a recent interview of former Italy manager Prendelli telling that Italy loses players after under 21 level. But italy are better than India?. Prendelli's diagnosis of Italy's problems in Italian football structure are much serious than india. How?

@MisraSundeep Sir, Cuban boxing produces olympics Champions in boxing because it has talent. Indian boxing has talent too. Why Cuba comes back with olympic gold medals whereas india comes back empty handed despite talent? Please reply Sir.

@rakeshrussell52 @vinayakkm Yes Sir. New Zealand are a hard pressing team. Again, penalty corners will make difference because even Aussie women found it very tough vs NZ in ocenia cup.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@rakeshrussell52 @MisraSundeep @TheHockeyIndia @FIH_Hockey Very good question Sir. We are poor in football. Today hockey follows football. All the nations whom you mentioned are good in football. Unless we produce players who can think tactically, we cannot solve this problem.

@TeaChaiLa Sir, MK Kaushik Sir once told that to become a top team you have to convert even a half chance into a goal. Alyson's smile in Berlin on a Indian forward missing a well knit team move tells what India is missing.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@TeaChaiLa Alyson Annan's smile in Berlin of an Indian forward missing a simple chance after making such a complex team move to shock her team tells you what India is really missing.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@vinayakkm Savita has opted out for personal reasons and don't know about Deepika's status.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@vinayakkm The coach is trying a new strategy. I think in all the five games india were not india in style like Positional play etc.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@rakeshrussell52 @ArgFieldHockey @TheHockeyIndia Harendra wants his dream men's team job, Narendar Dhruv Batra wants to make a comeback. This is what is brewing.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@MisraSundeep Thank you Sir. Atleast 60% of Indian athletes train under good coaches, but constantly pick injuries. Cuba without good facilities keeps its athletes injury free. How is it possible Sir?.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@MisraSundeep Sir, Cuban boxers are constantly put under intense pressure every four years to perform and bring home that elusive gold medal. Is fear of failure not there in Cuban athletes?. Please answer Sir.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@NavinSports @AntikBasu80384 Navin, if India wins more olympic medals in wrestling in future, it is only because of Mr Vladimir's system. Very good choice and should have been given when he was alive. But glad Vladimir Sir got it at last.

@supersonicbirua Badminton is another crowdpuller in India. In some places, it is literally more popular than cricket with courts getting over crowded with children waiting just to learn the sport. This was much before Sania and Sindhu came into picture in 2000s.

[Manjunath T @tmanjunath71]

@rakeshrussell52 Sir, Alyson Annan would love to have a player one player like Lalremsiami to fulfil her 2028 target for China. Siami is like Golo Kante. I think she can easily play for top Dutch clubs.
