Wikipedia and this article says Gurmeet Singh qualified in 50 km walk. But I checked the Olympics ranking page which said Gurmeet Singh is in 62nd place while top 60 qualify. Can anyone confirm

It says Gurmeet Singh qualified. Will he be part of the contingent

[Dolby 731]

Honestly I don't see how anyone can blame AFI for this? He was outside the rankings initially, so they didn't forward his name. When there seemed a hope that he can qualify with a couple of withdrawals, they started the formalities. They couldn't name him in the squad until his qualification was confirmed by WA. IOA is notorious for creating problems but am sure in the end, they will easily relent and accept his name as well.

Massive facepalm , it's 'Gurpreet' Singh who qualified not 'Gurmeet'
