My initial assessment regarding Badminton Draws:

 

WD: Gutta/Ponappa are in Group A along with top seed Japanese pair, Dutch pair and Thai pair. At present Gutta/Ponappa are lowest ranked among the 4 pairs. But, they have defeated Thai pair twice this year and have split 4 matches with Dutch pair 2-2 over the last two years. Of course, they have no chance against Japanese but they have a decent chance of winning the remaining 2 matches and reaching Semis. Dream draw. 

 

MD: Attri/Reddy are in Group D along with 2nd seed Indonesian pair, Chinese pair and Japanese pair. All three pairs are in top 10. Don't expect them to win a single match (though they did defeat Chinese pair in the only past meeting, Chinese in Olympics are a different beast). Absolute worst draw.

 

WS: Saina should have no problem in reaching Round of 16. Sindhu has a tricky encounter in Group stage with Li Michelle but I am sure Sindhu would win. Round of 16 is pretty straightforward for Saina (vs Porntip). Sindhu has once again a more difficult match against Tai Tzu Ying. She trails Tai in H2H but,  among the top 8, after Hyun Ji Sung, I think Sindhu has maximum win chance against Tai, so no complaints. You can't have easy matches quarter onwards. If you want to win medal, you have to defeat the best, so of course in Quarter, Saina and Sindhu will face top players like Li and Yihan. If we didnt draw those two, we would have drawn Marin and Intanon. For, Saina it is bad as she has a mental block against Li but as I said, if she wants a medal, she needs to overcome it. No complaints. Considering depth of the field and our rankings, good draw.

 

MS: Srikanth should win his group easily. In Rd of 16, he faces Jorgensen. Without doubt a tough match. Jorgensen is a class player. But, like Sindhu, considering he is seeded 9th he could not expect an easy match. It could have been slightly better (Chou?) or much worse (Lin Dan, LCW or Chen Long). Final verdict: neutral

Question  is whether Narsingh will still be allowed to go to Rio.....His food was spiked, but he does have an anabolic steriod ...His punishment would be lesser than 2 years for sure...but Rio ?????

 

Narsingh has filed a complaint to WFI and said that a senior international wrestler, a female official at SAI and a coach is behind this

He would not be able to go but he can be cleared of all wrong doing, But ban would be a 6months to a year.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
