^ I have no idea either why Korea is above Germany. As far i'm concerned, the 1st tie breaker is goal difference.

Read the inspiring story of Lili.

She got the last junior record using torn shoes which caused  blisters on her feet. These athletes need better support.

Also I think sreejesh  is feeling the stress of being both the captain and goalkeeper , - it is a difficult combination ...also it is good that he is realising this weakness he has a month or so to practice and eliminate it 

 

But still Indias performance has been great ....... By the way 

 

India with 7 points plays against Aus with 10 points 

 

Belgium ( 4)  Plays GBR with 5 points 

 

 

Possible scenerio 

 

India draws or wins against australia we are in the final 

 

If India loses and GBR and BEL draw - India is in the final 

 

If India Loses and GBR wins - GBR in the final , India plays for Bronze 

 

If India Loses and BEL win - India and BEL end up with same points .......... Goal difference BEL is -3 and India +1 , Is the position going to be determined by goal difference ? - Currently in the table Korea is placed ahead of Germany I am not clear why ???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

India have to beet Australia, they are capable of doing that.  just take advantage of their chances. convert chances into goal, you will win.

Thanks Tirtha for the news, can someone post the Indian competitor list for this coming week-end in athletics?

9. Arokya Rajiv and Anilda should get 2 quota's in individual 400m. Anilda got the 52.6s timing last week, in very cold and difficult conditions, so she is definitely in line, Rajiv should get it, outside chance even for Mohammad Anas.

 

 

Last week in Erzurum , Turkey , a lot of Indian women sprinter participated in the 400 m event.

 

Anilda Thomas - 52.60 secs. - 1st

 

M.R. Poovamma - 53.68 secs. - 3rd

 

Aswini Akkunji - 54.69 secs. - 4th

 

Jauna Murmu - 54.79 secs. - 5th

 

Priyanka Panwar - 55.17 secs. - 7th

 

Anu Raghavan - 55.18 secs.

 

Debashree Majumdar - 55.45 secs.

 

Sini Jose - 55.89 secs.

 

Another point to note last week was that Sini A. Markose took part in 800 m in Leiden Golden Spike Event. In the last few races , she was a regular runner in the 1500 m event. Dont know why he shifted to the category of Tintu Luka's 800 m. She finished ninth with timing of 2: 05.12 secs. Olympic standard is 2:01.50 secs.

Okay I have news from Archery Association of India that Mangal will play instead of Rahul here and at Olympics as well. Mangal Champia finished poor here as he failed to judge the wind in first round. I am happy with strict policy of AAI unlike WFI

 

looks like it will be Mangal afterall competing in the team events - and there will be no impact on seeding.

The above link is already updated with the fact that Mangal will be competing in the world cup team event which starts today - and India will retain their 4th seeding despite that. The oly qual tournment, which takes place tomorrow, still has Rahul listed but I guess its just a case of Mangal's name not being updated yet

 

BTW, 4 out of the 7 recurve archers competing today reached the round of 32 (Atanu was already seeded into the round of 32).

Mangal , Rahul and Rimil were the only archers knocked out ...compound rounds happening - both men and women seem to be doing well in  close matches though ... today we will see how Mangal does in the team recurve - He is the only weak link ...atanu and jayanta seem in good form as evidenced by their singles and Atanus mixed where he has reached the finals

6 of the 8 compound archers survive into the round of 32. Rajat Chauhan missed out in the shoot-off...
