11:45 am: India didn't win single medal in Weightlifting last time. Even if we win a Bronze, it is improvement this time. But with the competition it seems highly unlikely with Asiad players ruling the weightlifting so far...

11:45 am: Though the results do not show for it, the improvement in this Asiad is much better. We are missing some senior players across disciplines and that is bound to hamper our final tally. But, what is heartening to see is the way our players are competing across multiple disciplines. With increased monetary support and improved infrastructure, we can only look at better performances for the future. Someone should use these games and do a presentation to the sports minister asking for funds!

11:45 am: Forget about the top 3 countries in the medal tally... look at others ahead of us like Kazakhstan, North Korea, Mongolia, Malaysia, Chinese Taipei, Myanmar, Vietnam, Iran, Kuwait.. We should be shame of it... We are 120 cr country and a developing country!! We talks about sports only during the team selection & during the games.. then we will go for sleep.. the countries in the top list will practice and concentrate for 365 days and 4 years.. now itself they are preparing for next Asiad/Olympics.. they start identifying from school level itself.. we will start 1 month before the games and in some cases include people after boarding the flight.. come on yar.. when we have fared better in Asiad/Olympics. Our hard earned tax money is eating by this athletes & officials...

11:45 am: @Sumit, No it's just day-5, 10 more days to go. Major Indian events yet to start. I am not worried about 65 medal overall but i am only worried about to reach 14 GOLD that we won in last edition.

11:01 am: Total medal count in last Asian games was 65. I think we will fall below 50 this time :(.

10:55 am: Feeling slightly sad to see there is no medal from Shooting today.
