Iu00a0still can't get over the way we lost to minnows Malaysia 4-3 in the semi-finals in the Asian Games. I am a bit disappointed that we are out of the gold medal race, but I hope we beat South Korea to win a bronze medal at least.

I would have been happy had India won the gold at the Asiad and got direct qualification for the 2012 London Olympics.

However, the way some of our other athletes are performing in the Asian Games, there is a silver lining in the dark cloud. We have won seven goals so far and rank eighth in the medals tally. Overall, I am happy with India's performance in the Games. Our athletes are doing a good job at the Asiad.
