Medals details and related discussions will be posted in this thread, i just hope that Pakistan is in the table at the end, preferrably with a gold.
The only medal Pakistan could possibly make is in hockey.
So I hope that we will win the most shining medal, which of course is gold.

Thanks.

Its so unfair.There are more than a hundred athletes from one country compared to less than ten from another.

Nice to hear people taking part in sports other than Cricket - hope the indian government suitably encourages and recognises the feat.
Good job, but where are the Indian swimmers, divers and gymnasts where there is a bounty of medals to be won.
Another Silver Medal for Austria. :bhangra: :
Claudia Heill only lost to Ayumi Tanimoto (Japan) in the women´s judo final (63kg).
India get's it's first medal. A country with a billion people get's it's first medal. India is just not good in sports.
Silver medal
Athens: After bringing India its first ever individual silver at the Olympics since Independence, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Tuesday said that the atmosphere at the Markopoulo Shooting Centre in Athens was so tense that he "died a hundred times."
"Yes, I was a little tense. I died a hundred times there but everything went off well," Rathore said after his historic performance.
"I had worked hard for this moment. I was confident also that I could do it," the 34-year old army major said.
"It is a great feeling, something very special. I am happy I could win a silver for my country," he said.
He said his Athens triumph was not only a personal glory and hoped it would also inspire a whole new generation of shooters.
"I am not only happy that it is the first silver since Independence. As far as I am concerned, this silver should inspire a lot of other young people.
"Cricket is a very important game in India, I also like cricket. But my achievement should encourage youngsters to take up other disciplines like shooting.
"I hope we can win more medals for the country."
"I had taken part in lot of tournaments and it was a bit of a struggle to arrange for the funds. Anyway, this medal means a lot to me." he added.
