 and  should get the singles quota in Men and Women respectively in South Asia.

 

For us the fight for getting into Olympic team is heating up with 4 men and 5 women in fray for the 3 spots per gender. Men's No 1, Women's No 2 and No 6 look safe for now.

Sreeja starts with a impressive win against  Natalia Bajor 4-0.

 

Feel so bad for Sreeja she faces Cheng Meng with better draws she could have progressed further.

 

In Incheon she just lost to Wang Manyu in 1st round who then won all her matches easily to finish runners up.

 

In World team TT she beat Wang Yidi World No 3, 3-0.

Ratio of games won lost checked. If equal then points won loss ratio.

What do we know about the new tie system ? 

For ITTF WC it'll be used in group stages. All matches are to a 4 games not best of 5 or 7. From R16 it's knockout best of 7.

Points are the same in both rankings, but period is different. Something like in tennis, each week the world ranking is more correct.

Regulations

Thanks. I actually meant the current ITTF World Cup in Macao, it has points as per the PDF. Happy to know.

[Fly_like_a_don 950]

Does ITTF WC have ranking points for Olympics and WTT Rankings? If so what is the distribution?

did not understand. it was meant to be sarcastic or ?

 

sorry I did not get it

It's not sarcastic. Only Neeraj is kind of sure. I don't trust our shooters or archers. Men's Hockey is out of form. In Badminton men's doubles we have chance but not any other event. We won quotas in boxing in AG and drew a blank at qualifiers so I don't know where we stand can't get hyped by AIBA Women's World champs hosted at home. Wrestling was marred by protests which even lead to suspension of federation, no Olympic medallist made current team for Qualifiers and no national camp has been held for 1 year. Even our top weightlifter Mirabai is not at her best and lifted 185kg or so and competition in the category has increased . If all things have to go badly, it could end up as low as 0-2 medals. Yes, things can go the optimist way too but yeah if the games are held now we might be there at the bottom

Third direct last quota match defeat for within a month after Jedináková losing both boxing semifinal and 3rd place match, Salkazanov obviously losing the wrestling semifinal last weeend and now our mixed double losing the final.

 

Maybe we will still somehow manage to attack the 20 qualified athletes barreer at the end, assuming 2 swimmers will receive universality invitations, but I do not believe it a second.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh that's sad to hear. We too have the same issue very small squad, no women's hockey team and very few medal hopefuls. I hope we don't return empty handed

I don’t think it was a jinxing thing, just a mistake. Plus he doesn’t seem like the type of person to be doing that. 

I know that I was just kidding but it may worked as a jinx against Spain

You have to patent your jinxing ability. Everyone is copying it freely

It's a pity that all tables are not shown live. But all SF will be shown.

Mukerjees did suffer a hiccup but eventually get the job done against 3rd seeds Miu Hirano and Miwa Harimoto . 

[Fly_like_a_don 950]

Sreeja unlucky to lose to Wang Manyu  in distance. Manika should beat Wang Yidi anyhow later today.

These days women's Table tennis has gotten pretty exciting especially with  struggling against  and losing every alternate match.

So our men's team taking revenge against the Germans with a good victory in the absence of CWG champion Sharath. Nice to see the so called European Champion Dang Qiu beaten.

[Fly_like_a_don 950]

So our India B women's team stretched the full strength German team to 5 matches quite a suprise. I think we would have won with our best players if they were present.
