What is the scene in women's discus ...why is seema not there even amongst the one close- is she injured .... also I think we have Basant Bahadur Singh Rana who clocked 4 : 07:24 at the recent jaipur nationals in the 50 km race walk which is just a 1:24 minutes of the A standard, also I remember a 20km women walker did well at the saf games came close - I feel their name should also be added in the ones close to qualification as we have one place left in those disciplines Edited March 22, 2016 by nitinsanker strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prashanth 157 Posted March 22, 2016 #153 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It’s a proud moment for an Indian club to have their player Richard Gadze go out on loan to HJK Helsinki, which is a top tier club from Finland. This is a first for an Indian club, to loan out a player to a club in Europe playing in the Europa League. Tokyo - 2020 Go India Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kd2008 0 Posted March 23, 2016 #159 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I noticed that in Race to Rio list for badminton mixed doubles, http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/category.aspx?id=10880&category=2156&p=3&ps=25 India qualifies the pair of Arun Vishnu and Aparna Balan, ranked 52. yay! i hope they hang on till the end of qualification period. They have only played 8 tournaments. If they played more, they would be ranked higher as bwf counts 10 best tournaments. This is where I fault Gopichand dominated BAI for lack of planning and understanding of opportunities. Can Manu Atri and Ashwini Ponappa also play in Mixed doubles at the olympics as a pair as they may qualify thru' mens and womens doubles? or only the team that qualifies can play? Qualification rules are detailed here: http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=529944&dl=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they have to gain around 30,000 points to be in the race.... Tokyo - 2020 Go India Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
