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

Who else can talk more on Bhavani....I had asked OGQ and Padukone academy for support in 2012 when no one was even knowing her. Today people are talking about the sports. People here would vouch on my statement. I was behind Sindhu  when she was 16-18 when entire country was behind Saina. Today the result is in front of everyone. I always see the future stars where others see present, this culture of seeing only medal winners today is bad in India. See for 6-8 years ahead and then see the results. Support 14-18 yrs people now and get the result in 2024-28

Tokyo - 2020

Go India Go

Understood. But the federations are sometimes themselves not eager to improve.

So we will end up with 17 member shooting team in most likelihood. 

 

Anish will qualify if he can maintain top 15 in the rankings. 

 

Kynan is qualifying easily even being at 21st spot. Turkey, France and Germany are there but it's easy for him. 

Slovakia will swap the quota won as Erik Varga has 2 quotas won. 

Qatar will swap the quota from the unknown shooter who won it to the Dakar Rally  Champion, Naseer Al Atiya, Olympic bronze medallist in skeet. 

Chinese Taipei can swap too. 

One of the above Europeans will win a quota in their last Tournament.

How will swaps make a difference to Kynan's chances? Ranking quota is allotted before any swaps. Also, there will be only one ranking quota no matter what. Even if Slovakia, Qatar and Chinese Taipei swap quotas, it won't add any more quotas in Trap. 

 

Also, Italy still doesn't have quota in Men's Trap. If Italy fails to win the European quota, there is no way anyone else is going to win the ranking quota.

Oh wait I realize the quotas are counted. :p

He has to do the rest now.

Sumit Nagal has good ground strokes but a very weak serve, really needs to work on that to progress in future.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • 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)
