All are quite far away. The Worlds Athletics is a major disappointment. We should not have hoped for anything but would have liked to see how Neeraj Chopra and Hima Das would have fared.

We appreciate only PBs and SBs. Countries like China and USA only pay heed to medals. Even smaller countries are obsessed by medals only.

Buddy, we must understand that our Athletics structure is not of highest quality and hence we would happy with PB and SB only. Just a cursory glance at our athletes' body structure, height, muscle mass compared to other top nations' athletes theres a huge difference.

We may not get medals but we must moniter if we are progressing or not

I agree with you Siddhartha, not sure what some of us are expecting from our athletics team members, lets be realistic I would say we have done well till now.

My take on the situation , careful tracking is required to understand what is happening in a sport 

 

three predictive indicators for the success of a country at a sport are  ( I work in analytics so sorry my terminology may go towards 

 

1. Performance in the World championship 

2. World ranking 

3. Medals at a junior level 

 

 

For example today we are a dominant player in Shooting , we could have predicted this 3-4 years ago when our junior  team started getting many medals at the Junior world cup 

 

Now coming strictly to atheletics 

 

performance in the world championship ( number of Indian Finalists ) 

 

2009 - 0

2011- 2

2013-1

2015 - 3

2017 -2

2019 -  3( already hoping for at least 1 more ) 

 

I think that is a good improvement especially if we touch 4 since we have 3 of our best atheletes injured - Hima , Neeraj and Dharun ( rajiv Arokia was also injured )  ...... This affected our performance heavily in 3 events as well as all the three 4*400 relays 

 

 

 

Coming to world ranking ( this is from my tracking files )

 

 

  sept 10th-06 oct 1st -06 Feb-07 august 10th-08  Feb-09 nov10 sept11 Aug-12 Dec-15
Subtotals- mens - atheletics                    
                   
top 100  5 5 5 15 15 20 16 17 22
Top 10  0 0 0 0 0   0 0 0
In 11-25 0 0 0 2 2 4 3 3 4
In 25-50 1 1 1 5 5 3 2 1 6
fifty plus 4 4 4 8 8 12 10 12 13

 

 

currently we are having close to 30 in the top 100 in world ranking if I am not mistaken (  and at least 1 in the top 10 

 

Also at the junior level we have had 2 Gold medals recently ..............................

 

 

 

so my prediction If the same rate of increase continues  we should have some atheletics medals in the next 3-4 years in world atheletics

A fellow data analyst!!!

I don't follow Athletics as much as I do Football, Badminton,Hockey etc and hence my understanding is limited. 

But to check progress in whatever sports, just counting medals isn't the right parameter but participations in World events, gradual improvement in National Records, progression to latter stages and so on. I certainly believe we are making huge strides and the results are showing.

The fact that we are even discussing medals itself is huge compared to 15-20 years where we would just show up to fill the numbers

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
