Update from day 4 from the weightlifting Olympics qualifier 

 

Women's weightlifting 

 

Good news -   quota finalised in women's weightlifting for Rio ................................   though the standings will be officially announced in three days ................... the down side ..............   Punam 204 kgs total here slight fall from worlds championship total of 208  ....................... almost surely with current scores India will finish 2nd after Vietnam ... I was expecting her to beat the Vietnamese and keep the contest open for the first place but that contest is over ....by the way ..... Saikhom  Mirabhai has broken the Indian snatch record in the 48kgs and equalled the Indian total record in 48 kgs in this event  ... a great achievement as usual not highlighted by the press 

 

 

Men's weightlifting 

 

Exciting event ....Indias Captain ........... Sathish  Sivalingam did well to finish with 23 points ...narrowly missing out on 25 points ......he was o.n a knives edge on the weight in with being weighed in at exactly 77 kgs ...one gram more he would have been knocked out .................... then he did well in the snatch and then gave the start weight  in clean and jerk as 175 kgs ( the same weight he gave to crash out of the world championships without a lift ) , luckily he moved down to 172........... and got one lift in and then missed 2 lifts at 177 ..........  

 

Currently India is on the 8th position in the qualification with 7countries  to qualify but today's performance by Satish seems to help India's qualification chances as we now have 3/4 with 19 points or above if out of the remaining four 3 of them can  average 19 points we can surely qualify ........  In our corner are three accomplished weightlifters Vikas / Venkata and Pardeep with Gurdeep back up .........  So tomorrow is a critical day for the men's weightlifters with two Indians in the fray ................... Vikas and Venkata Ragala need  to cross 19 points ( i,e finish in the top 6 out of the qualifying nations  ) to ensure that India's chances become more concrete 

 

 

 

 

Thank you..good follow up

 The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not offer any wild cards for the tennis events at this year's Rio Olympics which means Indian players will have to qualify for main draws solely on the basis of their rankings.

 India's challenge at the World women's squash championship ended after Joshna Chinappa crashed out in the second round of the tournament in Kuala Lumpur 

She lost to world number one Laura Massaro

Viswanathan Anand not retiring and will take another shot at Candidates. We'll get to see the legend in action again. Yay!

Some good news from archery: Indian men's team did well in the qualification stage of the Archery World Cup finishing 3rd. The women boosted by Deepika Kumari's world record equalling performance finished 4th. Deepika and Atanu Das are also into the bronze medal match of the mixed recurve category.
