It is good if noone qualifies in Tennis and Golf. The universality places for Swimming and Judo should not be accepted. Instead, the money should be spent in training and diet for Shooters, Wrestlers, Boxers and Mirabai Chanu. Also, will the fencer Bhavani Devi and cyclists Deborah and Esow qualify.

According to me, the only event with headache is Women's 10m Air Rifle. Mehuli is almost surely out, not because she is shooting bad but since she is shooting in MQS, she can't get bonus points for reaching finals or rankings. I don't think NRAI would want a situation where Apurvi or Anjum miss out on Olympics, so only two possibilities are there. 

 

1) Apurvi and Anjum are selected in 10m. Anjum starts in 50x3 as well. Chinki's quota goes to Shotgun events. If Kynan is able to get a quota through ranking (very small chance), then it will surely go to Trap, otherwise it could go to either. Whoever gets the quota would be very lucky. 

 

2) Elavenil replaces Anjum in 10m. Chinki's quota is swapped for another in 50x3. 

 

While personally, I would prefer option 2, I think option 1 is more likely. In fact, I would place the likelihood as 75% for 1 and 25% for 2. 

 

No Trap please. If they did not win a quota means that none of the shooters are capable at global stage.

Bhavani Devi and Deborah and Esow should also not be sent to Olympics if they qualify. Heck, anyone who has not won a Gold at the World level should not be sent. If it destroys the sport, so be it. Atleast we won't be wasting the money on these useless fellows. And our Shooters, Wrestlers, Boxers and Mirabai Chanu could atleast eat healthy food.

Let those qualify by virtue of ranking and all should go. Those going by universality quota should be stopped. 

 

There was a filmi dialogue in Bahubaali: balwan ko aur balwan karo. This is the Olympic year; those with more chances of getting medals should get more money.

 

The target sports are Shooting, Badminton, Wrestling, Boxing, Mirabai Chanu. What is the case with Gymnastics? And also, Hima Das and Neeraj Chopra.

Films and movies are different from reality. 

 

Hima Das is still not fit as she said in KBC few weeks back. If there is no spark in a sport somewhere, its difficult to improve in the sport. For years we will stick to the same sport. If we want to be a superpower in sports, invest in all sports from youth.  

 

Judo has a good future among the youth. We just need to send them for exposure. Tababi Devi, Youth Olympic Silver medallist ,still you want to take them out? Some individual brilliance can come from judo then we'll improve.

Also take example of Afghanistan participating in South Asian Games in Taekwondo but no one really cared because India most of the   golds in the sport.

 

In 2006 if I am not wrong, Afghanistan hired a Korean coach. Now they don't just have South Asian or Asian Games medal, but 2 Olympic medals,  2 Youth Olympic medals. The sport has grown immensely popular after football and cricket. 

Wonder where we would be if we invested in the sport. 

 

This all but proves the need to invest in all sports.

As you mentioned a filmi dialogue I would like to mention a saying "Rome was not built in a day".

Please try to be in shoes of Bhavani Devi. There was never a history of fencing in India and neither there are any past athletes to boast about. Federations get funds from Sports Ministry based on their past performance and realistic medal hopes in future (as far as I know).

Bhavani Devi finished in last 16 of the World Championships yet got scant attention in media. Her Facebook page gets few hundred likes. Only those who follow fencing or Indians keeping track of Olympic qualifications recognise how big an achievement this is just to qualify for the Olympics.

Now after all this should she forego her quota spot even though she won't come any near a medal but still may get media attention like DIpa Karmakar in 2016 and inspire some youngsters to take up the sport, which may help rise of fencing in India

    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".
