I guess the next major event would be the women's world boxing championships in the 2-3 week of may ......

More likely they may be in intensive training for Rio so as to peak there and do not want any break....... there is not much chance after the reason level of form shown by the womens recurve team that they may change any member ( but yes if injury or any thing happens good to have a back up Dolby 1 strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitinsanker 192 Posted May 9, 2016 #955 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Baku world cup update in Judo Avtar Singh ( 90- category ) faced a really tough opponent Clerget axel of france in round 1 and lost but a reasonably close fight 0 vs 1-0-1 so not too bad ...clerget was the bronze medalist .......highest ranked indians Kalpana -52 kg ( 95th ) and Avtar -90kg ( 81st ) ...likely Indian to be sent to the olympics would still be Avtar Edited May 9, 2016 by nitinsanker strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For singles, Yuki would need a large number of withdrawals and/or good performance at French Open to rise 50 odd places to qualify. Not sure about Wild cards. To be honest, I think Paes/Bopanna are on the edge of qualification themselves. Hopefully, Bopanna would improve his ranking and enter top 10 to win the quota directly. No chance for second pair in MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However presently even our top ranked men double player Rohan is also out of direct entry criteria as his ATP ranking is 11. He have to do well in French Open. Paes ranking also is very down. To get two teams in rio, we need atleast either two players in top 10 of ATP ranking or their combine ATP ranking should be higher enough to get additional quota.

No chance for second pair in MD no wild cards this time around........................ unfortunately for India as we seem to have had a good relationship with ATP and have got wild cards many times this article gives full details http://www.firstpost.com/sports/no-tennis-wildcards-at-rio-what-this-means-for-indias-chances-at-the-olympics-2753986.html Edited May 9, 2016 by nitinsanker strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimil had the lowest qualification score out of the 4 and thus the other 3 competed in the team event and won Silver. So Rimil was not part of that silver-winning team...I think eventually it will be 3 of these 4 going to Rio but either Rimil or Bombayala can miss out (Deepika is obviously a lock and Majhi has been doing very well in the past year). nitinsanker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
