Quick look at Indian Quotas ( with an eye for Tokyo ) - we did well this time in multiple sports - we have a record number of quotas but I felt we lost very closely some of the quotas  - so ye dil mange more - My thoughts for Tokyo based on this qualification sequence  ( this is for the events over till now  when we compare them with london 

 

TT ( sharp improvement over london  ) -> record numbers equally Barcelona ( where there were 3 men and 1 women ) - 4 ( the maximum we could have had was 6 ) - We were within knocking distance of a team ( 3 men quota ) .....our men have improved ...for the first time we have 2 men in the top 75 ........ the women also for the first time seem to coming close to the top 100 which showed in 2 women qualifying ..... for us the draw was favorable ....next time we can definitely try for the mens team quota  ( Hope for Tokyo - 5

 

Hockey ( sharp improvement over london  ) - First time since Moscow have we had the women's team qualifying and the men also for the first time could be medal prospects ...so we achieved maximum 32- ( Hope for Tokyo - 32  ) 

 

Shooting  ( good improvement over london  ) - Our highest ever strength of 12 ....... first quota in skeet ............ we were just a point or two away from quotas in the Asian qualification in .............women's 3 position , double trap ( 2 people ) , 25m rapid fire , mens 10 m air rifle , pistol-10m for men  and skeet men ........................so with luck we can next time hope for 15 -16  Quotas 

 

Badminton ( good improvement over london )  - This time kashyaps injury cost us a possible 2nd mens quota and prannoy showed a late surge but too late ...................... in the mixed doubles we have not had a good pair , but ashiwini - attri and jerry - sikki are both showing promise and feel next time we can have a quota in mixed doubles too - Hope for tokyo - 10 quotas 

 

Wrestling  ( good improvement ) - This time around our wrestlers did us proud - 6 quotas but I felt we had the potential for quite few more - In  greco where we showed some improvement - we were one bout away from Ravinder getting a quota in the asian  in 66 kg GR and of course Hardeep in the 98 kg category will give new life to GR    ,  in women's freestyle I feel we missed one more women's quota in Babita , Shilpi... in mens we had out chances with mausam in 97 kg  and hitender in the 125..... so next time around I believe we can 2 GR + 3-4 FW + 5-6 FS........................... so hoping to have 10-11 wrestlers 

 

Rowing ( fall in quality ) - Due to the power play situation between the federation and coaches  there was no discernable improvement in fact a fall in the quality ........... Hope for tokyo. I was suprised not to see at least the women rowers not even attempt qualification  - hope for tokyo 2-3 

 

Gymnastics ( sharp improvement ) - Dipa has given high exposure and Rakesh was unlucky to miss going to Rio test event ...possibly next time we could have possibly 2-3 gymnasts qualifying as I believe both Ashish and Rakesh can qualify .......

 

Weightlifting ( good improvement ) - In the last two years the womens team has improved leaps and bounds ........................ I feel they can easily get 50 +50 in the next cycle which shoudl bring them to 3 quotas  ( .if you see in the 2015 cycle they have got 47 points and missed the two quota qualifier narrowly)  ..in the men there is no great improvement so I am feeling that they will not be able to get more than 1 quota .................hopes for 4 weightlifters 


 

Sailing - ( no change )  despite varsha and aishwarya showing some sparks and nethra there is no change or significant improvement in sailing - chances of qualification remain bleak in tokyo 

 

Fencing ( Significant improvement ) - for the first time we were  actually having some fencer in some vague possibility of qualification 

chances of qualification remain bleak in Tokyo 

 

cycling ( significant improvement ) - I believe we can have Deborah possibly qualifying based on the improvement she has shown over last few months ... so 1 cyclist 

 

Other sports - the misc sports where we have had some success at  the local level -  I believe we did not see any improvement in Taekwondo , Volleyball , canoeing,  etc 

 

so withthe exception of Rowing and sailing which feel we had improvement in multiple key sports

How come softball and baseball be in Tokyo 2020?but no Squash??

Because the two are much more popular than squash...

A bunch of female gymnasts from West Bengal lead by Pranati  is very promising and can be medal material in 4 years of time. They have been winning gold consistently in all the national events they have been participating off late.

Is a climbing a sport, that too in Olympics? That's news for me. It's high time they get cricket it, far more popular than all these sports.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
