Dipa Karmakar has become the first female Indian gymnast to qualify for the Olympics, after giving an astounding performance at the final qualifying event in Rio de Janeiro.

The 22-year-old is also the first gymnast from the country to participate in the Olympics since 1964.

What do you think about it?

What can we expect from this new young talent?

Dear Alessandro,

        It is wonderful that you have noticed this new athlete Dipa from India. Just to let you know this is a new sport for us and until recently we did not think about it seriously, so Dipa did it with minimum support available. We are a sport loving nation but such sports like gymnastics we never had any hope. Dipa is a specialized vault athlete, with the Produnova vault you can expect her to score above 15 at Rio, expected finalist in the vault event, not a realistic chance in overall or other 3 events. This qualification has helped our budding gymnasts and expect more qualifications in Tokyo.

So go by the recent performance in athletics, can we hope for atleast 4-5 more quota in rio? If we add 4x400 women relay than can it be 8-10?

 

Realistic chances for quota in Athletics as I feel, others do let me know your thoughts.

2 quota in women's 100m(2 among Dutee,Srabani and Jyothi)

1 quota in women's 200m(1 among Dutee,Srabani and Jyothi)

1 quota in Men's 100m(Amiya)

1 quota in Men's 400m(Rajiv or Muhammad Anas)

2 quota in Women's 400m(Poovamma and Anilda)

1 quota in Men's triple jump(Renjith or Arpinder)

2 quota in women's 5000m (OP Jaisha, LSuriya)

1 quota in women's 10,000m (L Suriya)

1 quota in women's triple jump(Mayookha Jonny, there's no fracture so she should return in 3 weeks time)

1 quota in men's 50km race walk(100% sure we will get this on 8th May)

1 quota in Men's Javelin(Neeraj or Rajinder)

1 quota in 4X400 women's relay team.

 

Unless someone suffers from injury, these are a minimum we should get.

It means we have very good chance of getting 15 more quota places in athletics itself. It will take up athletics players qualification quota upto 33, more than Hockey. It will be very good achievement of Indian Athletics.   Moreover we can hope of 110-120 Indian players taking part in Olympics.

Prashanth and Vivek, I agree being optimistic, the obvious question that comes is why have they not qualified till now, but I guess athletes prepare themselves to peak before the big events, as we realized with all the NR's in the Fed Cup. The list I have put up seems realistic as of now, except L Suriya may decide to focus on one of the events rather than both. But again some of the ones which seemed uncertain I haven't added. For ex (Dharamvir -200m, Seema Punia - Discuss, Jinsen Johnson - 400m H, the new guy in Shot Put forgot his name, Prem Kumar Long jump, 4X400 men's relay team) 1 or 2 among these also have a chance, so ultimately we should be close to that number.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
