I saw so many lists for possible medallists so my listicle 

 

Top 20 Medal chances for India( this is in no order ) 

 

1. 50m Prone - Gagan Narang - Medalllist last year in one of the Fort benning world cups 2015  , has the big occasion temperament 

2. 10m Air rifle(m) - Abhinav Bindra - Big occasion shooter , is showing signs of a return to form ( in baku world cup was leading finals after 2 rounds  by a big margin ), a gold medallist has the temperament to shoot ( only a fool would say that Abhinav cannot medal in Rio..... In case any of you want to dispute that  )  

3. 10m Air Pistol(m) - Jitu Rai - Bronze medal at the chongwon world cup - consistently has been in finals - One of Indias top hopes 

4. 50m Air Pistol(m)- Jitu Rai - Currently Ranked world number 2 in this event , silver at the world championships - a class act 

5. Skeet(m) - Mairaj - The only Indian who won a medal at the Rio World cup this year - currently ranked world no 4 ( never thought we would have a skeet prospect )

6. 10m Air rifle(w) - Apurvi - broke the world record last year , last years world cup final silver medal 

7. Womens Badminton - Sania Nehwal - world championship silver medallist , in good form 

8. Mens Hockey Team - Last two major tournaments - Silver and Bronze 

9. Tennis Mixed Doubles - With Sania in the team we have one of the best women's players with a very small field just two good matches and you are in with a medal 

10.Boxing - Shiva - A medal at the world championship ....... 

11. Boxing - Vikas - Indias finest boxer reached quarters of the world championship , is a world championship medallist 

12. Wrestling - Narsingh - The only indian till now to win the olympic quota at the world championship , shows his class 

13. Wrestling - Yogi- Missed the world championship due to injury but his form at the asian qualifiers was fearsome 

14. Wrestling - Vignesh - Awesome form at the last qualifiers , again her form was so good 

15. Archery womens team - Current world championship silver medal , has consistently been medal-ling 

16. Archery womens individual - Deepika is a true championship so many medals  , was immature last time in her first olympics , now is more mature 

17. 10m air pistol ( w) - Heena Sidhu has been ranked world number one in 2014 was in fine form in the run up to the asian qualifiers 

18. Womens weightlifiting - Mirabhai Chanu in the 48 Kgs has lifted 192 which puts her in the elite list of top 3-4 weightlifters, she has been consistenly improving in the last few months and I feel will reach the level of 194 or so at Rio ..that should fetch her a medal with some luck 

19. Womens Vault - The fast improving Dipa Kramakar came 5th at the world championship , she has been getting a lot of support and will improve further , a medal prospect  in gymnastics 

20. Womens Badminton - PV sindhu - two times world championship bronze medallist is definately a prospect

The Russian boxer who defeated Sumit Sangwan lost his SF bout that means Sumit fails to qualify for Rio 2016 in 81kg weight category as 5th qualifier.
Now Dilbag Singh will fight for this quota in pro boxing qualifiers next month.

Lol I did not "compare". I gave you an example because of the line you used "she didnt qualify by her own"
