It’s a bloody bout and the English crowd loves it. Orie adds to the misery with a flurry of brutal punches. In the end Orie wins the bou twith a 5:0 UD.
Sagar wins silver medal! He really had a fine campaign but faced a tough ask in the final against a good boxer in front of home crowd. Men’s +92kg (Super Heavyweight) Final Sagar vs Delicious ORIE: What bout this is. 44 seconds to go and Sagar needs medical attention with blood on his face.

Meanwhile in javelin. Anderson Peters just timepassed for the entire competition and threw a monster 88. 64 at the end to take the lead with his 5th attempt.

twitter. com/fsp5L5za4w — The Field (@thefield_in) August 7, 2022 Arshad Nadeem definitely believes he can yell his javelin further. We agree with this strategy.
It is science. #B2022 — Change of Pace (@ChangeofPace414) August 7, 2022 Badminton women’s doubles bronze medal match: Oh, that’s a well deserved bronze medal for the Indian teenagers! Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand were tested quite a bit in the second game. But a fabulous, professional performance from the youngsters as they win in straight games.
Medal on debut for the two 19-year-olds. Athletics : Men’s 4x400m relay time. Boxing update from Samreen: The final Indian aiming his shot at gold, Showman Sagar will now take on England’s Delicious Orie in the men’s +92kg final.
The Indian’s advantage has been his speed, something his opponents have been lacking. Can that work today too? Athletics Men’s Javelin Final: After three throws, India’s DP Manu and Rohit Yadav are fifth and sixth with best throws of 82. 28m and 80.
66m respectively. Arshad Nadeem leads with his 88m throw. Peters back in the medal mix.

Table Tennis Mixed doubles final: A Sharath Kamal/Sreeja Akula 1-1 Javen Choong/Karen Lyne: The Malaysians level it up, win the second 11-9 Badminton women’s doubles bronze medal match: Treesa and Gayatri take the first game 21-15. The teenagers are a game away from the podium! The Aussie pair are not a regular pairing on tour bit Somerville is a fighter and Chen is a solid singles player.
But the Indians are handling this professionally. India’s decision to play such few specialist batters cost them eventually. Needed 23 off 16 with 5 wickets in hand, should have won from there.
Nonetheless, a silver medal to be proud of. #CWG2022 #INDvAUS pic. twitter.
