Happy to see CNN-News 18 initiating the news regarding the next Dipa in Gymnastics and getting help for her improvement. Rare gesture by media in helping the athletes get sponsors for their need...

:clap::clap: 

She is dubbed nxt Dipa because of the same state she belongs to. Without doubting Ashmita's abilities and future , one must also keep a watch on the veterans like Pranati Das from West Bengal and Pranati Nayak from Madhya Pradesh

Just One question on Boxing ..

 

Is India is only country which complaints about AIBA or many other countries complain on it.. Actually in This forum in other threads many of them don't want boxing to be there at Olympics, as scores are manipulated.  

 

Is there any official complain on AIBA at CAS by any country.  Can someone help me in understanding?

 

 

 

Nope, everyone complains about AIBA and boxing. Unfortunately, it has got to the point where unless you were knocked out, you are gonna complain if u lose (one example being the USA boxer who lost to Vikas in the first round. He was beaten black and blue but still acted as though he was shocked by the result). This is something which AIBA wanted as they can now even ignore the genuine complaints among the deluge of merit-less complaints.

 

CAS unfortunately has no role to play here. CAS is very clear on the fact that they will never give a decision on the refreeing/judging/umpiring in any sport. Thats why Vikas' appeal in 2012 was a lost cause. They adjudicate only on off-field matters - like doping and qualification procedure and so on.

 

The biggest controversy this year was the loss of Irish Michael Conlan - who openly put up two middle fingers and shouted abuses right after his match. No ban/santions have come yet but AIBA has said they will take action...though it remains to be seen. Bit ironic that in London, we complained a lot about decisions going in favour of home team GB and psuedo-home team Ireland but the shoe was on the other foot this time.

 

By the way, Ireland had 4 boxing medals in London, 0 in Rio.

Surprise !!! Surprise !!!

 

Sarita Devi's controversial bout in Asain games and Michael Conlan's controversial bout in Rio both had the same refree, and had one of the same judges.

Paes and Bopanna retain their place in Davis Cup squad.:facepalm:

I really hoped that Divij Sharan and Purav Raja would be our new Doubles pair.

 

Edit: The Singles players in the squad are Saketh Myneni and Ramakumar Ramanathan with Sumit Nagal and Prajnesh Gunneshwaran as reserves
