India National Thread

India doesn't get any quota in GR even after 5 wrestlers in SF and one match away, That is really disappointing. But India got 2 quota in Women Freestyle in Anshu n Sonam both are juniors with being only 18 n 19 respectively. Hope we can add few today though no hopes in Men's Freestyle.

Sribani Nanda did a 23.27s in 200m in a tournament abroad though wind level was above permissible limit. Its a good timing nevertheless.

Yup that's it. It's all over no quota for GR this Olympics. Europeans will win the remaining quotas at world qualifier. 

[Prashanth 178]

Indian Men FS wrestlers too disappoint with no quota won on last day. So need to see any luck in last World qualifiers for rest of the 12 disciplines.

India is going to have busy May schedule in FIH Hockey Pro League with 6 matches with 3 nation slated. It would be great preparation for Olympics actually after such long break.

Tejaswin had a jump of 2.19m in 1st outdoor outing. With low competition it was expected. He would surely go a long way and hope he gets into Olympics either by 2.33m or by ranking. Need to participate in lot of tournament to get there.
