2. Indonesia Open where Saina, Sameer Verma and the doubles teams would be participating.

Athletics

 

After a successful outing in the Taiwan Open last week, where Dutee Chand bagged two golds, helping India to a total of 9 medals, the Indian athletes will now compete in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, with an opportunity to make the cut for the Olympic Games in Rio later this year.

 

“They will go to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in June,” said C.K.Valson, the AFI secretary, to The Hindu. The meet is expected to start on June 18.

Shooting

 

Rio Test Event unwanted incidents

 

The test event in Rio served some wake up calls for the country’s shooters. Skeet shooter Mairaj Khan and London Olympics bronze medallist Gagan Narang both suffered setbacks. While Mairaj didn’t have enough pellets with him to last the entire final, Narang suffered ammunition failure, which resulted in him shooting a score of ‘0’ in the prone event. at the end of the gold medal match, he and his Swedish opponent were tied at 14 targets each, leading to a shoot off. Since Mairaj had run out of ammunition, he lost after the first target in the shoot off and had to settle for silver. Rules don’t permit a shooter to get additional ammunition during a match.

    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
