You mean to say no any individual left?  

[Prashanth 183]

If any individual quota would be a great news...Mostly no hopes in any individual left...Unless someone shoots from blue moon like the earlier 2...

what is the actual quota position now? we have won 84 including 3 from golf. Now Wikipedia is showing 34 ( i think they are adding 2 for sudha singh).So it is 33 for india. It means 117 for us so far. can we get 3 more????

Athletics quotas:

20km M Race Walk: 3

50km M Race Walk: 2 (could be 0 as both Manish and Sandeep have met standard in 20m as well and so technically, AFI can send them to compete in 2 events)

20km W Race Walk: 2

Men's Marathon: 3 (think they would all compete unlike Women's marathon)

Women's Marathon: 2 (Kavita Raut, OP Jaisha) (Lalita has clarified she wont participate and I wont be surprised if Sudha also gives Marathon a miss)

3000m Steeplechase W: 2 (Sudha Singh, Lalita Babar)

Dutee, Srabani, Nirmala, Tintu in Women Track

Manpreet and Seema in Women Field

Dharambir, Anas and Jinson in Men Track

Vikas, Inderjeet, Ankit and Renjith in Men Field

Total: 27 (assuming Manish and Sandeep are not selected for 20km and all marathon runners participate)

 

For Relay, we get 6 quotas per team (minus those who qualified in individual events), so with 2 relay teams, 4x400m and 4x400w and 3 individual quotas (Anas, Nirmala and Tintu) we should get additional 9 spots. So, total is not 33 or 34 but 36. Which puts us at 120 total.
