Now with just 3 days left for olympic quota cut off date in Athletics, We need some cracking performances from our athletes. Along with 105 already assured, and 3 from golfs with 3 additional from 4x400 women relay ( as  Nirmala Sheoran  &  Tintu Luka) already earned quota. 111 is what we can achieve. Hopefully tonight neeraj goyat will make it 112. To get 120 we have to work very very hard in remaining 3 days.Need good performance from 4x400 men team, they are placed at very good position and only one good race will do it for them but now only one race is remaining so thy have to do it now, it now or never as far as their chances for rio. Same for other athletes also. M R Poovamma, M Johny & B B Rana is our best bet for achieving 120 target.

........... I do not think Basant Rana has any event ?.....MR Poovamma is not an additional quota she is already part of the 4*400 squad .................. so we will have to hope from the others at the Indian grand prix which are 

 

Men 

100m - Amiya  * 2 attempts  

200m - dharambir

400m - Arokia 

5000m - Lakshmanan

Shotput - Tejinderpal , Om prakash * 2 attempts 

Discus - Kirpal ( seems unlikely though he is a good 4 meters behind ) 

Long Jump - Prem  * 2 attempts 

Triple - Renjith , Arpinder ( he seems to be in poor form but I am including him as his PB is so good ) * 2 attempts 

Javelin - Neeraj , Rajinder  * 2 attempts 

4*400m - Two attempts 

400mh - Durgesh , Jithin 

110mh - Sidhanth *2 attempts 

 

 

Women

 

4*100w - 2attempts 

5000m - Jaisha and Suriya 

Javelin - Annu and Suman - 2 attempts 

Triple - Mayookha * 2 attempts 

Long Jump - Neena and Prajusha * 2 attempts 

womens shot - Manpreet Jr 

 

The best hopes are the two relay teams mens 4*400 and womens 4*100 as they have only recently hit their desired mark they just need to make the same mark again , possibly sidhanth as he needs just one good run and he beat the mark in a slightly wind aided effort ( if you noted the Indian Atheletic Federation have repeated the most hopeful events ( womens triple and long ,mens shot , javelin. 110mh, 100m ) where they feel the Indian atheletes have a good chance  ......but we may have some unknown player making like nirmala showed in the interstate

Why did they not select sandeep as per the points chart  he seemed a little above Sajan , though sajan is not a bad choice and was second

I read somewhere that they gave Sajan the advantage as he had good points in 3 events whereas Sandeep had just 2 events. Doesn't make any sense when u consider the fact that whoever goes will still be able to compete in just one event...thus they should have probably just selected the swimmer with the highest points in 1 event..

 

Then again, not much that the swimming fed does makes sense. This decision definitely strongly indicates to me that it was they who messed up big time in London with the Gagan Ulalmath entry before blaming it in on FINA to save face...

Personally I did not feel Sajan  is not a bad choice as he is just 22 whereas Sandeep is 27  and possibly he may not be able to improve,  while Sajan still may improve ( peak age is around 25 ) which may put him in the target range for Tokyo and definitely for the next asian games  ....... The point difference between them was slight but they need to have a clear selection policy

 

As far as London quite possible because it is quite incomprehensible for FINA to have such weird rule

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
