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...

 

But Squash before surfing, climbing and skateboarding? That is just silly if you ask me...

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.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
