They always choke under pressure in big games against India be it hockey or cricket, so an expected result.Intricacies of South Asian style of hockey will be on full view when India take on bitter foes Pakistan in the high-octane men's Asian Games gold medal match.
India beat Pakistan 4-2 in penalty shootout to win historic gold in men's final at the Asian Games and qualify for Rio Olympics.

I think though there are still few medals to be won by competing nations before games come to an end tomorrow(4th Oct) but India is not in contention in any of those. So thus effectively finishing the asian games from an indian pov.
So India has won 11 golds, 9 silver, 37 bronze a total of 57 medals this time and finishing 8th(wrt gold medal standing) and 5th(wrt total medal count). :thumb::thumb: but compared to last outing (2010 asian games) where we had 14 gold and totally 65 medal count this is under performance. We certainly hoped for much more (i feel many possible gold medal chances actually turned into bronze) but still nonetheless a good show. Hopefully we will build upon this and in 2016 olympics we will better our medal count from 6(in 2012 olympics we had 2 silver, 4 bronze if am not wrong).
Yes, if we look we are doing reasonably well in shooting, wrestling, badminton, weightlifting, boxing disciplines primarily atleast at commonwealth standards with medals here and there from other sports as well. When it comes to asian games standards, it comes down but still the cream do manage medals. Since china, South korea do participate in asian games, the quality of asian game standards in many sports is same as the olympic standards as well. So even if we reach nearby to chinese standards we can get much more medals at olympics as well.Is India turning a corner as a sporting nation?
In Asian Games Indians have won medals in a wide variety of disciplines ... no longer a single sport nation.
