What are everyone's final predictions for our medal tally? 

I will give my sport-wise predictions

Boxing (1S, 1B)
I expect 2 medals given that all of our boxers have the pedigree to win medals. Obviously, Nikhat would be the best bet. I feel the other medal can come from Lovlina/Nishant. 

Wrestling (1B)

I am hoping for a medal from Antim Panghal. She has also got a good draw to win a medal. Hoping others also perform well, especially Vinesh.

Badminton (1S)
Sat-Chi are obviously very big medal favourites. We have won a medal in badminton in either Olympics/World Champs continuously since 2012. Hoping this continues. (I think only China one of Japan/Korea have done the same) Lakshya and Sindhu can also surprise. 

Athletics (1G)

Neeraj is the only realistic medal contender. And I have tremendous trust in his consistency despite recent injuries. Hoping Sable and the 4*400m relay teams also reach the final 8.

Shooting (1S 1B)
Everybody in our rifle and pistol squad can deliver a medal. Just hope they all don't buckle under pressure. I feel 50m rifle three positions (both men and women) and both mixed team events are our best bet for medals. 

Others(1S/1B)
Meerabai Chanu can easily win a medal if she is near her best and not injured. Archery also has good prospects especially if Dheeraj Bommadevara performs well. Men's hockey can also win a medal. They were in good form in the last two pro leagues though this year has not went well. 


Overall - 1G, 3S, 3B - 8 medals.

I'm also pretty much on the same page, but less optimistic about our chances in shooting. Also, I was big on Lovlina's chances in boxing but she has a difficult draw in the QF.

Did the boxing seeds come out? Can you share the boxing seeds?

Never mind found it. Lovlina is facing Li Qian in the Quarterfinals. I would say chances of medals are near 0 because of that

Lovlina did beat Li Qian in the world championship in Delhi on her way to the gold medal... And recently lost on a 2-3 split decision against her at the Czech Republic Grand Prix. So, maybe there is some hope after all 🤞

Yeah! Chen at the last Olympics was also probably a superior opponent. But she defeated her and boxed very tactically. Hope she is able to replicate that.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
