With 90 qualified and 10 more (4 tennis, 3 golf, 1 judo, 2 swimmer) almost sure of qualifying, so now we can think of 115+ Indian contingent in Rio.  boxers, man archery team, and athletics can take upto 115+. Devendro Singh & Vikas Krishnan along with Marry Kom should get a Rio ticket. May be some more can join them.

Sushil Kumar’s name is missing from the list of probables forwarded to the Indian Olympic Association for the Rio Games in August by the Wrestling Federation of India— the clearest indication yet that the double Olympic medallist may miss the bus this year.

Dutee Chand , one of the medal prospects for India is practicing in Badminton academy of Gopichand in Hyderabad. She is facing mental pressure by unknown persons in the athletic federation and does not practice in NIS patiala which has ideal equipment and infrastructure for someone in athletics.

WFI has tried to play safe here, since any other players had openly indicated that if Sushil gets a chance for trail than they will also demand trail in their respective weight categories. They even talked of going court. To avoid this situation, WFI has not given chance. It will now open a big debate. I think WFI has done a fair thing, if their is trail than it should be for all categories. It has happened in past so many times, when an injury to a great player creates the gateway for other young players, they successfully cash  it and closed the door for former champions.
