Latest News from Beijing Olympics: Achanta Sharath Kamal advances to 2nd Round

Breaking News! After Neha Aggarwal's first round exit, India has some good news in Table Tennis. Commonwealth Gold Medalist Achanta Sharath Kamal advanced to the second round with a win over Alfredo Carneros of Spain. Sharath Kamal beat Alfredo 4-2 (6-11, 12-10, 11-8, 9-11, 11-6, 11-7).

Indian athletes continued to perform badly at Beijing Olympics. Heptathletes GG Pramila, JJ Shobha and Susmita Singha Roy, Discus throwers Krishna Poonia and Harwant Kaur, 10,000m runners Preeja Sreedharan (women) and Surendra Singh (men), Renjith Maheswary (men's triple jump) and Mandeep Kaur (400m women's) all performed below their personal best and failed to qualify for the finals.

The biggest disappointment was from Anju Bobby George, who even could not complete a fair jump in the Long Jump event and committed fouls on all three occasions. She is out of the medal race.
