:(:(:( Hope Indians fire in Olympics...

 

Normally olympics are often a little easier than the world championships ...................................   partly it is because with a limited set of 30 or so shooters compared to a world championships within 80or more shooters........................ it is easier to make the finals

Wrestling Updates

 

Men's Freestyle and Greco-Roman teams, including qualified wrestlers -- Yogeshwar Dutt (65kg Freestyle), Narsingh Yadav (74kg Freestyle) and Hardeep Singh (98kg Greco-Roman) -- will be undergoing special training in Tbilisi, Georgia till May 4.

 

Meanwhile, the Indian female wrestling team, which comprises Vinesh Phogat (48kg), Babita Kumari (53kg) and Geeta Phogat (58kg), will attend the training camp at Sofia, Bulgaria till May 4.

 

While the men's team would be based in Tbilisi and female team in Sofia, all of them will go to Mongolia to participate in an Olympic qualifying tournament -- 1st World Qualification tournament from April 20 to 24, before coming back to the respective cities to continue their training.

 

Whoever fails to qualify for the Olympics at the tournament in Mongolia, will then proceed to Istanbul, Turkey for the last Olympic qualifier -- 2nd World Qualification tournament, scheduled from May 6-8.

 

A 15-member India squad will be heading to Mongolia, where it will fight to acquire Olympic berths in four freestyle, five Greco-Roman and six women's quota places.

 

The race for an Olympic spot in the 57kg category of the Indian wrestling team took an ugly turn after Rahul Aware, one of the three contenders, abandoned his team en route to a training camp in Georgia, alleging bias against him. He is now facing a disciplinary action after being pulled up by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).

The wrestlers left for Tbilisi, Georgia, last Thursday for a month-long camp ahead of the penultimate Olympic qualifying tournament in Mongolia later this month. However, when Aware reached the Delhi airport with rest of the contingent, he found out that the WFI had already processed Mongolia visa for Sandeep Tomar, his rival in the same weight category. Miffed that he was not being given an opportunity to compete in the qualifiers, Aware boarded a flight to Mumbai instead of Georgia, deciding not to be a part of the training camp as well.

The WFI defended its decision by saying that since Aware blew his chance by not managing to win a quota at the recently-concluded Asian Olympic Qualifying tournament, they gave chance to the second-best wrestler in the 57kg category for the Mongolia event. In case Tomar too fails to qualify, then the federation will send Amit Dahiya, who represented India at the London Olympics, for the final qualifying tournament in Turkey next month. At the selection trials last month in Delhi, Aware had emerged on top, beating Tomar in the final while Dahiya finished third.

Brazil-born former Costa Rican midfielder Alexandre Guimaraes will coach Mumbai City FC in next season’s Indian Super League. He has had successful stints with Costa Rica’s national team that qualified for FIFA World Cups in 2002 and 2006. The 56-year-old has been manager of the Panama national team, several clubs in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, UAE and China.

FIFA/AFC should allow India to send Indian Super league champion to the AFC Championships and the winner of I-League to the AFC Cup rather than to the present system of I-League winner to AFC Championships and Winner of federation Cup to the AFC Cup. What do the rest say on this.

AIFF confirms ISL, I-League merger in 2018

 

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is all set to revamp the country's footballing structure, by merging both I-league and Indian Super League (ISL) by 2018. However, the governing body is not terming the association a merger as it is looking to change several nuances within its administrative hierarchy as well.

AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das said, “We have had discussion regarding changing the entire structure. We are not merging both the leagues, but we are attempting to create a completely new one that will encompass India's football ecosystem. The talks are at a preliminary stage, but the decision has been taken.

He added, “Our initial plans was to complete this by 2017 so that it would go in tandem with the U-17 World Cup. However, we have taken a collective decision on not rushing this, hence our last date for execution will be late 2018.”

    • I think the biggest problem for Australian football is how big the roster size is.   Rugby League Nines might be a more realistic "out there" selection.
    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
