India National Thread

[nitinsanker 202]

Decent analysis..... 

 

I think in boxing I would add Manish and Gaurav to the possible mens boxers without changing the total possibilities as 2:1;.....

 

I think in wrestling deepak punia should be added to the possible medallists but keep the total as 2:1 

 

Same in women added divya karan and ashu to the possible medallists but keep the total to 2:1 ..... 

 

Also we do have a long shot in javelin especially as now we have two qualifiers.... 

 

And mirabai I would like to put as a sure shot so that may be moving to 19 best .......7 worst

Gaurav Bidhuri is not a Olympic prospect - at best in Asian level. A bit apprehensive about Manish as he lost out in the Quarters in the qualifying.

 

Divya Kakran is a great youngster but to be a Olympic prospect, she has to work more. Again, Deepak Kumar is a great wrestler but lost out in the Asian Championships, hence kept him out.

 

Awaiting comments from others.

Really shows lack of sports knowledge. It's not Gaurav Bidhuri but Gaurav Solanki. You are few years behind in the thread.

Did read it other day and article. Good for them. Mirabai for silver maybe unless she bombs out or does Ri Song Gum who has all but secured herself an Olympic Quota with the Fuzhou World Cup. Chinese lifter is not competing in this weight ,I'm pretty sure about that.

Technically, Mirabai is not qualified yet as she has only 5 participations instead of requied 6

4 competitions count towards total in the new rules.

Olympics to go on in July this year is becoming more and more difficult by day. So, it is futile to discuss our medal chances as of now.

 

If it gets postponed to say next year, it is tough to predict at this stage since player's form can change a lot in a year.

The weightlifting qualification rules will change. IWF has submitted the new draft rules to IOC.
