Quota will be reallocated to the highest ranking pair not already qualified at the end of qualification

Yeah just found that. Looks like some European nation can get it.

What are India's chances in Sailing. I know we can only qualify via Continental qualifiers. But is there any hope?

I don't see any hope in Badminton at the Olympics. Both Rio and Paris. There is no next gen in the female version.

Badminton could be a big disaster. We will have a good representation but zero hope.

[sanjaydas 14]

Our main hopes are on Shooting and Wrestling. Something like will be also-ran.

We always send athletes in Sailing using the Universality quota.

No there is no Universality quota in Sailing. The last athlete qualified from India was in 2008.

At most we can have 5. But thats over optimistic. 

 

Women's Laser Radial 

Should be easy quota for Nethra Kumanan who finished 5th at AG 2018 as 4 nations above her are qualified. She just needs to do better than Singapore athlete to qualify. 

 

Women's 49erFX

 

Silver medallist pair from AG 2018. The gold medalist have qualified already but they need to be above Thailand and China like in AG but championship in China .

 

Men's 49er

 

Bronze at AG 2018 just 0.5 points behind Korea.Japan winners already qualified. So it will be a 3 way battle with even Oman in the mix .

 

So 1-5 sailors at Tokyo 2020, hopefully at least 3.

Yes. There is also a chance in ongoing 470 Asian Championships. There are only 15 teams: 5 from China (not eligible), 5 from India and 5 from other nations. But, since no team of ours participated in Asian Games, not sure how good are our chances of winning the lone quota on offer.

Even the results are not available currently. Also, the Thai and Korean teams were AG medalist and the Malaysian team also had a good finish.
