Thanks for those points, they are enlightening, so her target tomorrow should be to go below 9:20

sure if she is able to do that it  would be  an excellent improvement and she can position herself as one of the athletes who can be in the top group 4-6 race leaders at Rio  ......also importantly for us she would be seen as the best in the Asian context ...currently Ruth jebet from Bahrain has been doing 9.21... this has been her progress over the last 2 years 

 

Twenty-six-year-old Lalita, who switched to 3000m steeplechase two years ago , bettered the National record for the fourth  time in a span of about 18months to underline that good work ethics could never go unrewarded.

In the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Lalita had clocked 9:37.35 to go past Sudha Singh’s National record of 9:47.70 and bag the bronze medal. She achieved her personal best again in September last to claim an Asian Games silver medal.

Lalita, hailing from Satara district of Maharashtra, left an impact in the Wuhan Asian championship where she cut more than a second (9:34.13) to claim the gold medal and make it to the World championship and next year’s Rio Olympics.

 

In Beijing, she once again raised the bar to time 9:27.86 to come fourth in her heat and eighth overall to qualify for the finals in great style.

 

after that had broken that again in the fed games just last month .....................

 

so it possible for her to better her time but 6-7 seconds may be a lot

I watched her in the Fed Cup achieve the new NR with ease in the sapping, polluted weather in Delhi, she was not stretched at all and immediately after the event ran to the scorers, to check her timings, so maybe going below 9:20 tomorrow with stiff competition is a possibility.

kalpana Devi finished in 9/16th place in the IJF World Judo tour-Almaty....With this she gets valuable points in the ranking....

Kalpana Devi is at 95 in latest ranking...

Avtar Singh is at 81 in latest ranking...

Kalpana Devi ( thoudham - nice name for a fighter ) points will go up...................... but I have been disappointed in her performances this year ................................ I think avtar has done better this year in Judo  ..................... his fight is tomorrow I think so hope he does better and stays ahead of kalpana

at the archery world cup at medellin ..... Indian second string team provides no upsets .............no individuals reach semis ...... 2 indian men reach compound quarters ( abhishek and gurwinder ) and 1 indian women in compound quarter lily paonam ...... the only person who stood out was Lily .... I think she may be a good talent for the women compund team with jyothi .........................

 

we lost in the mixed and recurve teams in the 1st and 2nd rounds 

 

so our only hope rests with the compound teams ...India has reached the semis in women compound and quarters in men compound

Can anyone explain me the Judo qualification process?What are the chances for Indians?

[Prashanth 185]

Indian Women play top seed HKG and Indian Men play 2nd seed PAK  in the SF of the 18th Asian Squash team Championships.

Indian Women are 2nd seed whereas Indian Men are 4th seed.
