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 ( 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

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
