So what are the events this week with Indian participation?

1. Surely a huge week in tennis as we move into the business end of the French Open. Also ranks for olympic qualifying freeze after the tournament.

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

 

What else?

Lahiri finished tied 6th with 9 under par  in Dean DeLuca invitational Tournament held in USA... Very creditable performance with such a strong field 

With this effort he climbs only a place in world ranking, But in Fedex list he climbs to 88th place from 101...that's important for him for future...

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.

Long and triple jumper Mayookha Johny, who suffered an ankle injury in the Federation Cup, is recovering well and she has gained entry for meets in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. “Mayookha is recovering from her injury. She is under treatment in Delhi and she should be back soon. The jumps coach says that she is almost fit.”

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.

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
