India will jump to 7th place after mens doubles and if mixed doubles is also won then 6th.
Hesh - Paes were made to sweat like hell before they won the match by Thai twins who were second seeds. Indian Pair had to save Seven match points before they could take of success.
beyond that we can not improve as thailand chinese taipei are strong contenders.
One gold in chess is 98% secured if the team does not blunder today and tomorrow. If we win today then its ours.
BTW : in mens hockey China Stunned Pakistan in semifinals so this time around we may have a new winner in Asian Games.
India has made remarkable progress than Busan Asian Games held in 2002. the tally at that time was
Gold 10 Silver 12 Bronze 13 Total 35 and were Eighth overall.
this time the tally is
Gold 8 Silver 18 Bronze 21 Total 47 and we are like ly to finish atleast at 7th position. Uzbekistan is the country to lose out.
Imagine what would be our tally had stupidity of few people would not have banned the weightlifting federation of India.
