I am looking at our olympics chances......as a warm up to olympics s 2021 ...... Medal hopes et al ......

 

atheletics - do we finally have chance in atheletics to get our first medal for more than a hundred years ... I am only looking at the atheletes already qualified ..... 

 

1. Javelin ..... Our best chance of a medal by far ... Neeraj broke the NR with a throw of 88.07 recently .... This is a fantastic distance ...
Comparing it with last olympics .... It would get him a bronze by a good margin and almost silver ( 88.24) ... He is in the top 5 javelin throwers today and has a decent chance 

 

2.Long jump - sreeshanker .... He also broke the national record .....8.26 meters equivalent to the 5th place at the 2016 olympics .... Can he produce his best at the olympics ...... A very very long shot for a medal 

 

Steeplechase - avinash sable has been breaking the NR a few times ... But even with that is so far behind the african nations ....no chance but can come in the top ten 

 

20 km race walk men - the only sport where we have qualified 3 atheletes ( max by a country ) ... Sandeep broke the NR recently 1 hr 20.16 ... A seventh place equivalent in 2016 ..... If any of the race walkers shows good improvement .....medalvery long shot for medal

 

Race walking women - bhawna jat - did 1.29.54 recently to break the NR ... An equivalent to a 7th place in 2016 .... Again in my view no chance at the olympics 

 

4*400 mixed relay .... India came 7th in the world champs 2019 ..... Without hima das ...... So in case she comes back and we do very very well ..... A very very long shot for a medal .....

 

Realistically yes we can medal but it all rests on the broad shoulders of young neeraj chopra ... . I will be watching the javelin final with bated breath

 

......also we may have a record number of events where we are in the top 10 ......the above as well 400 metres men and women relay .......

I think Vetter, Hofmann and Kirt are the favourites for medal at present. Neeraj is surely part of the next batch alongside other Germans, Matusevicius, Cheng, Yego, Krukowski, etc. Considering his past performance, I am hopeful that he would be able to throw 90+ in Tokyo and get a medal, but as of today, I would say he is only a dark horse for a medal. 

 

Overall, I agree that this is our best chance of Olympic athlete medal since Anju Bobby George. 

 

Regarding Finals, apart from the ones you mentioned, I would put Annu Rani as long shot for Final as well.

Big news, Kamalpreet Kaur qualifies with an huge huge throw of 65.06m in Women's Discuss very close to the bronze medal distance at Rio.

8.29 was the bronze winning performance at Rio (an underperformance though by the great Greg Rutherford). Do you think Sreeshankar has an outside chance for the bronze medal?

He has an outside chance, needs to improve a bit he is peaking at the right time, the 8.26 yesterday he had a few centimetres on the take off board so should be able to go over 8.30

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
