The Union Government has planned to bring sports fans together to celebrate the spirit of Olympics by putting up giant screens at open spaces in all major Indian cities. The concept of ‘fan park’ is a big hit among major football playing nations where fans enjoy the tournaments on giant screens set up at a central location. Sports Minister Vijay Goel said that the locations  will have giant screens, on which events involving the Indian athletes will be aired live. 

Have they earmarked locations? If they plan to do this, they should have already started publicising it widely. Can't depend on our ministry. We must plan a contingency if we want to do it. Am ready to take the initiative in Mumbai :yes

I think we are closing our quota at 121 ......I am going by the final list given in wikipedia ( tradionally inaccurate bu this list seems logical and as per the rules ) does not include tintu in the 4*400 squad ( they anyway can use her as required )  and the 50km squad would have manish and sandeep while the 20 km squad would have irfan , baljinder and gurmeet which seems to be logical ( except that devender in recent times has done well while irfan has really not been in form ) ..............

 

can somebody confirm this 121

 

and the 20 km and 50 km race walker team ?- other than wikipedia

Road to rio on the other hand is showing 

 

manish rawat being selected for the 20km and hence not selected for the 50km walk which would bring us back to 120 ?

 

they are showing manish , gurmeet and krishnan for the 20km and only sandeep for the 50 km .............????:mumble:. i think the 4*400 squads are finalised !!!............it depends now the race walker squad ............

 

On a personal front i prefer manish , gurmeet and krishnan for the 20km squad as given in race for rio as all three have been classy recently ( i am not sure why devender is being ignored his time of 1:20:21 is the best amongst the three , krishnan is just 1:21:41 - though his performance was the best in the last walk Rome 2016  ) and the 20km squad can do something special while the 50km has no chance at all

Relay squads: 4x400m Men: Anas, Arokia, Dharun, Kunhumohammed, Mohan Kr. Sumit Kumar; 4x400m Women: Nirmala, Poovamma, Anilda, Jisna, Debashree, Ashwini.

Interesting stats 

 

More interesting than quota from a medal perspective is medal opportunities .......

 

for example the hockey squad may have 16 quotas but will have only 1 medal opportunity but gagan is only 1 quota but he has 3 medal opportunities  and medal opportunity does not also correspond to events as we may have both ayonika and apurvi in 10m air rifle which is one event but two medal oppurtunities 

 

As per my count so in Rio  while we have 120 -121 quotas we have 91-92 medal opportunities and participation in  66 events 

in london we had 83 quotas and 69 medal opportunities  in 55 events

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
