Its great!!! I hope they are clean and doping free!!!

 

I am sure they should be free of doping as they being coached by Kunjarani who was the mary kom of womens weightlifting ...... a legend who was also tested and retested without even the slightest signs of doping ..... I get scared of the east european coaches .................

Are the sprint results correct. If correct then we have several national record broken. 10.09 s in men's sprint for an Indian, Even women sprint crossed the mark of Olympics...

due to the power outage ...these marks were done using hand held equipment ............. ( our officials bungled once again ) ....................... The marks do not hold  as handheld equipment is not counted for any international marks ......and also hand held timing is notoriously inaccurate for shorter sprints ...........................................

 

But I would like to see their timings in the next event which is the federation cup after a couple of days to see how they do .............................  I am hoping that we may have 1-2 olympic qualifications ......................... The mark of 10.09 I feel is still significant as he seems to have a substantial lead over the person who came second and anas beating arokia rajiv shows that he is on a strong +ve growth curve  ....on the other hand the javelin and discuss throws were disappointing ............................krishna poonia just did 55.4

Thanks gv......... I was wondering if we can put this information in the first page of the India Page ..........Like we used to in the events of the week section ( in the old totallyolympics ) ....and update this every week ( so that we have one location where we check the latest week events ) ... also I think we can add to this list the atheletics federation cup April 28-30 ..... which may be critical for one or two qualifications
