I think our Sports Ministry should send a research team to Uzbekistan to get tips on improving our Football, Boxing, Wrestling, Rowing, Judo and Taekwondo

India lost to Japan as well and out of quota. Pretty worst performance missing 7 penalty corners.

This will impact badly on our final contingent size. It will be tough to overcome Tokyo numbers now. 
Very poor from the girls, playing at home and still can’t qualify. Need to start building from now for next Asian Games too many average players in the team.

Totally undeserving if the team can't defeat two lowly ranked teams at home and can't convert plenty of penalty corners. Hope this wakes up Hockey India and Sports Ministry and plans well for the next Olympic cycle.

Regarding contingent size this is a huge dent as hockey is the only team sport we are good enough and have reached a ceiling in terms of quotas in other sports we qualify usually. Also we are miles from qualifying in other sports where we never qualified.

But the contingent size should touch 100

Yes, it should cross 100. We have excelled in Shooting so far , already 4 extra qualifiers from Tokyo . I think we can add 1/2 more in shooting. So out of 16 lost in hockey we can compensate with 6 from shooting. I hope we can make up another 4-5 from athletics this time & reach break even in most of the other sports. Hopefully then we will have figure very close to Tokyo .
