3rd to 9th April . Fingers crossed hope no one qualifies . That would be a excellent gift to the federation 

Why do you want no one to qualify?

There was some infighting among the sailors with respect to participation in 49er FX

It just isn't the best pair there. It's a corrupted federation. Shwetha and Varsha won the silver in 49er FX ahead of the best Chinese, Thailand boats only behind the Singaporeans who already qualified. So they could have been favourite here. 

 

Apart from their mental trauma also the federation is just not great. I can equate it to Wrestling terrible politics just terrible federation. The sent 49er FX athlethes aren't like India's top 3 otherwise also. Anyhow rules are changed as required. 

 

For WFI there must not be anything like trials I think it's enough. If they want trials it must be 10 day continuos trials. Like how the fuck they choose such undeserving wrestlers on basis of 1 day's performance? They can beat fellow Haryanvis but not the Europeans or Asians.

With respect to Sailing, is it just one case or is it systematic. Because the Indian sailors in other events are quite good with likes of Nethra Kumanan, Harshita Tomar and Vishnu Saravanan.

Hope we can see an Indian in Men Sprint in next Olympics. Esow truly deserves to be among the best. Hope he is given proper facilities and chances to compete in International circuit so he can be in next Olympics. He recently did NR in Sprint event.

We should target a contingent size of 135 in 2024 and 150 in 2028. That would mean more participation in potential sports like Swimming, Rowing, Weightlifting; while try 1-2 qualification in new sports like Fencing, Sailing and Cycling.

Team sports qualification other than Hockey doesn't look likely in the near horizon

This time we may end up with around 125 ......

 

84 now 

 

+16 in atheletics

+5 in badminton

+2 in archery

+4 in wrestling 

+3 in golf 

+1 in judo 

+2 in rowing

+2 in swimming

+4 in tennis

+2 in weightlifting 

 

I think we lost out 2 more in boxing due to cancellation of qualifiers.... So we should have been around 127

 

I think we can do at least 150 by 2024 ....

 

My best bets 4-5 plus in shooting in shotgun , 4-5 more in cycling , 5-10 in atheletics ..... Plus hopefully swimmers , badminton , judo, fencing may add couple more ..... Also mens table tennis is likely to qualify ... So 150 looks doable

To get quota in other events need much more international exposure and Khelo India identification should be backed by exposure tour. We are not upto the mark in other sports. Apeksha in swimming is bright spot so need to nurture her.

    • 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  
    • 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.
