We are seeing very good result in shooting, Armed forces played a big role in creating a poll of good shooters in India. I think Army can easily repeat their shooting success in Equestrian, Canoeing,

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.

      Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA?

      For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle
