Guys it would be nice if on a weekly basis Maybe on Sunday ...one of the group members could update all the key Olympic events of the week for India At least  ( as the chase is hotting up for quotas ) .........:( am missing totally olympics list .......

 

I am trying to get a start on this - Key events of the next two weeks ( 10-24 th April )  for Indian Olympic Interest 

 

This week 

 

Badminton - Singapore Open ( starts 12th April )  - Maybe the last chance for the Indian men to get a second qualifier ....... Kashyap , Ajay and Prannoy still have a slim chance , Saina to get back into peak form and increase her ranking for seeding at the olympics and try to be in the top 4 ........ Sindhu again to push to be in the top 8, 

 

Table tennis ( thanks tirtha )  - Asian qualification - 13th April -Sure fire 1man , 1 women ,  In fact if sharath loses , he may get an entry through the ranking process 


Shooting - ISSF World cup at Rio ( starts 13th April )  - A chance to check Rio conditions for Indias Rio Squad 

 

Gymnastics - The all important Gymanstic test event at Rio - ( Starts  April 16th ) - DIpa is There -  :bowdown:.....................enuff said 

 

Next week 

 

Badminton ( starts 19th ) - China masters - see Singapore open comments 

 

Athletics - ( Starts 20th April ) Federation Cup at Delhi  - Hopefully to see an improvement in the relay squad and also maybe for one or two more quotas 

 

Wrestling - ( starts 22th April ) - 1st Olympic qualification tournament - with 3 places available - Hopefully the light weights in Greco ( Ravinder and Ravinder )  and 56 Kgs in Freestyle- amit / Rahul , satyawrat  Kadian in FS 97  and Vinesh, babita  to qualify in womens lower weights 

 

Rowing- Starts 23rd April - Asian regatta - Almost surefire chance for single sculls male , decent chances for lightweight double sculls men , very long shot womens single sculls

In Rowing, a NOC can qualify only crew per gender at continental qualifiers, so no chance for lightweight double sculls men and hopefully decent chance for a spot in women's section

Thanks ...did not know about this rule ...... 

but I have a feeling both men events  may qualify....................... but due to the rule the NOC may have to take a call on whom they will confirm ... probably single sculls ...... and due to the rule the chances of women single sculls improves ...........:beer:

Are we participating in that event. Heard last time that there was scuffle with the services team and none from them would represent the country. So no idea of the present status....

ITTF has it mandatory from this year for all players to take part in qualification events, Sharath Kamal cannot take any chances and wait for the ITTF's announcement which will come after the world rankings in May.

As per norms, two men and two women per country can make the cut.

All eight will first compete in Stage 1 of the event (South Asian region qualification). However, it has been learnt that Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Maldives have decided to forego the event, leaving the Indians to compete against each other. The competition will be tougher in Stage 2, where India vie for two more spots.

    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

    • What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.
    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season.
