Punam 204 kgs total here slight fall from worlds championship total of 208 ....................... almost surely with current scores India will finish 2nd after Vietnam ... I was expecting her to beat the Vietnamese and keep the contest open for the first place but that contest is over ....by the way ..... Saikhom Mirabhai has broken the Indian snatch record in the 48kgs and equalled the Indian total record in 48 kgs in this event ... a great achievement as usual not highlighted by the press Men's weightlifting Exciting event ....Indias Captain ........... Sathish Sivalingam did well to finish with 23 points ...narrowly missing out on 25 points ......he was o.n a knives edge on the weight in with being weighed in at exactly 77 kgs ...one gram more he would have been knocked out .................... then he did well in the snatch and then gave the start weight in clean and jerk as 175 kgs ( the same weight he gave to crash out of the world championships without a lift ) , luckily he moved down to 172........... and got one lift in and then missed 2 lifts at 177 .......... Currently India is on the 8th position in the qualification with 7countries to qualify but today's performance by Satish seems to help India's qualification chances as we now have 3/4 with 19 points or above if out of the remaining four 3 of them can average 19 points we can surely qualify ........ In our corner are three accomplished weightlifters Vikas / Venkata and Pardeep with Gurdeep back up ......... So tomorrow is a critical day for the men's weightlifters with two Indians in the fray ................... Vikas and Venkata Ragala need to cross 19 points ( i,e finish in the top 6 out of the qualifying nations ) to ensure that India's chances become more concrete Thank you..good follow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prakash 27 Posted April 27, 2016 #572 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not offer any wild cards for the tennis events at this year's Rio Olympics which means Indian players will have to qualify for main draws solely on the basis of their rankings.
