Great going by our athlete's. After remain locked on 96, we jumped to 102. Now 120 looks comfortably in reach. Any news from 4x400 men participation in meet going on now. 

I agree 4*400 qualification looks critical for our further growth in numbers

Bang on Kapil! NRAI's selection policies need to be emulated by other federations as well. A couple of pointers:

 

1. While Pooja has been an in-form shooter, one should not forget Apurvi and Ayonika have come out on top of the selection process which was laid down well in advance. 

 

2. Both of them, even at their young age, are far more experienced shooters and Pooja has forayed in just an year ago...going by the form logic, shouldn't we also send Anjum Moudgil then? She shot 418+ in last wc and again finished in top 10 here in Baku

 

3. Most importantly, let's not forget the importance of pressure. AC / AP have immense amount of pressure to score good scores / retain their form on their road to prepare for Rio. Pooja has none. and thus a possibility of difference in performances @Sanjib

All your point about strict policies, what if Pooja won 2 golds out of the the 3 WC events in 2016, instead of finishing 4th, I'm sure she would have been sent, since it would have been highly flashed in the media, Ayonika has not qualified for any WC finals since 2015 till date, that's my only worry, we have to evaluate our medal chances.

I think we will have another spurt in the inter state atheletics meet ..........where the others would be inspired and hopefully the competition would lead to qualification 

 

for example Mohd anas will perform well and that would help arokia to perform 

maybe jyothi may be pushed by duttee and srabanis qualification 

 

ankits qualification may help prem to perform better 

 

jithin will be competing with Durgesh and so on

Golf on 11th July if I am not mistaken ( 3 expected ? ) 

Athletics - obviously till 11th July ( 5 more for 4*400 women + others  ?? ) 

Swimming till 11th July( 2 expected ) 

Boxing - Now three boxers in the APB & WSB qualifier................... I think it is happening in July 3-8  ( maybe 1-2 )
