 So, there will be shooting and archery in India in 2022 for CWG? And they will be added to final table too? 

edit:

so looks like it is true.....

There will be separate shooting and archery events to be held in India and the results will be added to final medal tally

Yes...... Kudos to the team of raninder narinder et al to run this event and force the cwg committee to run these events .... We should be having I believe at least 20-25 shooting events as India should add some if our favourite pistol events along with double trap and prone ...... And archery at least 10 events including compound...... Good chance for India to cross 38 gold that they got in 2010 where we finished 2nd ....... As we should start with at least 20 golds!!!!! .......

That won't happen. Medal tally will be updated 1 week after Closing Ceremony.

Not worried about the medal updation but since these events are earlier we know where we will be at the beginning of June even before the events start

New ranking out in UWW...

 

 

GR

 

Sunil climbed 12 places to the fourth in the UWW World Rankings with 32 points. This higher ranking will play an important role at the Olympic seeding and help him avoid tough opponents if he makes it to the Tokyo 2020 Games 

Ashu, the 67kg Greco Roman bronze medallist, has also improved his world rankings. He is now placed seventh with a jump of 19 ranks.

 

India 2/6 top 10 in Olympic category

 

FS

 

Both Rahul Aware and Tokyo-bound Deepak Punia have climbed to the second spot in 61kg and 86kg category respectively. Bajrang stays at 2nd , jitender 12th , satyawrat 12th ...... No rating in 125, 92 and 70...

 

 

3/6 top 3 in Olympic category, 2 in 12/13 position

 

Women

In women’s wrestling, while Anshu and Divya Kakran has moved up in the list with gold medal finishes, Vinesh Phogat has fallen a place lower now.

Anshu and Divya are ranked seventh and sixth in 57kg and 68kg category respectively. Vinesh, however, has now moved to the third spot, losing her second position to Japan’s Mayu Mukaidu. 

 

Nirmala is also 6th ..... Pinki 10th 

 

We have no ranking in 62 and 76 ...... 

 

4/6 top 10 in Olympic category

I am hoping that out of these 11 in the Olympic category in the top 10 as well 12/13 ranked and then if we add gurpreet / sumit / whoever participates in 62 women as possibles...... We will  have 14 possible qualifiers.... I think realistically we can get 10 into the Tokyo Olympics...... ( of course we have 4 so another 6-7 I feel is realistic

Our real hope is in Shooting, Wrestling and Boxing, in that order. Probably with addition from men's hockey, mirabai and javelin.
