Instead of all crap; let us focus on the main sports. The rest are all of also-ran type.

 

These sports are:

1. Shooting

2. Wrestling

3. Badminton

4. Boxing

5. Hockey

6. Archery

7. Weightlifting

8. Athletics

 

India has traditionally performed well at the Olympics in these disciplines. 

 

The rest like Judo, Swimming, etc. are just a waste of time at the Olympics.

 

Let's have a guess from the participants about the number of medals we can get.

I disagree with this view simply because we shouldn't measure our sporting pedigree by just medals but with progress as well. We being a developing nation are not able to invest much and with no accountability in various Sports Federations they have become political fiefdoms. Also public and media visibility is less other than for Cricket.

But our mindset has changed in the last decade or so. Earlier, we were merely content with qualification; now we genuinely want to win the tournament.This feeling has seeped in our core sports like Cricket, Badminton, Hockey, Shooting, Wrestling and will slowly come in other sports as well.

With each Olympics our contingent becomes larger but like a large nation like ours its still pathetic but at the same time slow and steady progress

In world championship Swimming I don't think we have achieved any QST. Aryan and Sajan fell well short.

Sajan's timing of 1:58.45 is well within the OST time of 2:01.03 but quite behind OQT of 1:57.50. Aryan's time of 15:59.47 is way outside of OST time of 15:28.02.

 

Basically, all swimmers who achieve OQT (A standard) are guaranteed to be part of Olympics. If after inviting OQT swimmers, relay swimmers and Universality places, there are any additional quotas left, FINA starts inviting OST swimmers. So, in order to qualify through OST, one needs luck and needs to be close to OQT timing to be quite high up in the ranking list. 

 

Apart from Sajan, Kushagra Rawat and Advait Page have also achieved OST in 800m freestyle.

Good bets

 

Vinesha Phogat in womens wrestling... she has some thing in her.... even though she has changed her weight category to 53 kgs (which am unable to understand even now considering she won the gold at Asiad in 50 kgs) she is too good to be defeated by wrestler from countries other than japan or russia

 

Mirabhai Chanu in weight lifting…. only worrying factor is change in weight category from 48 kgs to 49 kgs

 

Amit phangal in Boxing... again worrying factor is change in weight category to 52 kgs from 49 kgs in which he won gold at Asiad

 

Womens boxing - I have a strong feeling that atleast one of womens boxer will win a medal... 

 

apurvi chandela / manu bhaker in shooting

Madhu ji, let me comment on Vinesh and Amit. 

 

Vinesh: it was on cards considering she has had difficulties in cutting down weight and has admitted to struggle. Remember 1st qualifying tournament during Rio 2016 where she failed to be under 48? Secondly, her decision of shifting to 53 (which she feels is natural body weight) seems justified for now. Only a couple of losses - one to Chinese whom she later defeated at Asian repechage and then Mukaida. So been doing pretty good so far, reaching two ranking tournament finals and bronze at Asians.

 

Amit: As far as international tournaments go, he has participated in two and won both at 52. At Asians in April, he defeated Hasanboy (Gold at 49 in Rio) again, and before that the Chinese (Bronze at 52 in Rio). Also his level could be guaged from his domestic domination. At 52, we have some good boxers like Sachin, Gaurav... but Amit does stand apart.

 

Hope that answers your question!

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • 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)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
