:(:(:( 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.

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.”

Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
    • Costantini & Mosaner will back to play together for the frist time since Beijing 2022 Our NOC and Federation do an amazing work.
