If we know both Rahi and Manu can't win any additional quotas and already achieved MQS, then what are they doing in MQS event anyway which I believe has no element of pressure of competition. Atleast Apurvi, Anjum, Saurabh and Abhiskek Verma will experience that pressure

Even without pressure of competition, it is still better than staying at home and practicing on their own. This way, they are staying with the team and coaches. Also, though Manu is in MQS event of 10m and 25m events, she is still part of 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event.

Again has I always say performance is important rather than medals, if we do good one day we will get. If Gopi had not put in his efforts we wouldn't have been power house. A small step will lead to big one later. If we don't follow up on equestrian it will not improve. we need to build on the start given. Saina gave that n rest is history. Deepa in gymnastics n now we have bunch of new people. 

True but there has to be accountability in all sports. If there is no performance, heads should roll.

Hockey Olympic draw on Sep 9, a day after Oceania Cup. 

 

India will host both the qualifiers for both the formats. Also, it seems the men's team will be among top 3 seeds which will give them a weaker opponent which could be Pakistan, Austria or Egypt
