Sad day for Dutee yesterday . According to her, she had nicely warmed up in the 4 X 100 m relay event. and she was feeling confident to attain the Rio qualifying mark in the individual 100 m event.

 

As she was moving up the blocks , some other athlete from US replaced her for some unknown reason.

Hoping for a great performance by him at the French Open. Hope he goes all the way and not just sets the world record but enchants everyone with his great display and brings back a medal (or two) :bowdown:

key highlights for today 20th ( big day for India )  updated with swimming ) 

@Prakash @Prashanth @gvaisakh @tirtha22 @Sanjib@sasidhar@RickygoestoRio @ritesh@Partha_SG@Smit

Boxing 

 

nikhat zareen - hyd girl so a personal favorite of mine .... has been outstanding in the juniors - hope to see her do well in her first major senior tournament in the 54 kg against aus - Ifeel Nikhat has the edge 

 

sonia lather in the 57 against mgl gundegmaa so may be a good bout 

 

meeena rani against ger in the 69 - tough bout for indian ..edge to ger 

 

pooja rani against   ukr borutsa ...edge to borutsa 

 

 

Athletics at the taiwan open 

 

Krishna poonia - discus - will she cross the 58 m  mark as she comes back from semi retirement ... I feel the quota may be too tough but if she does 58-60 very positive 

 

mayookha in the triple with sheena et al.... - Is she recovered from the terrible fall at the fed cup ...I feel quota may be difficult but if she does close to 14 it would show that she has regained fitness.. ( Update they have removed their names so they are not participating ) 

 

 

shot put - Om prakash - can he break the 20 mark and maybe reach qualification quota 

 

200m - dutee , srabani . manju in the 200m women ? ...... will we see a olympic quota acheived 

 

there are a few more unknown names but I do not have much hope from them but if any of the discus throwers comes even close to 60 it may be good news for iNdia as Vikas is aging 

 

Uber cup - Semis 

 

India vs china

 

Li vs Saina ...... can go either way , edge to Li but not impossible for Saina to win 

wang shixian vs Sidhu ..... can go either way ... even chances as sidhu does well against the chinese 

wang yihan vs ruthvika ....... almost an impossible task 110+ vs world no 4 ...it is like yuki vs federer ..................... but ruthvika is very classy so 95-5 with a small 5 chance 

tian /zhao vs ashwini / jwala .... less impossible but 75 -25 

 

 chen pair - world no 12 .against sikki / ashwini ...................... again almost impossible 

 

maybe they will make ashwini/ sidhu pair which did  a fine job against the japanese world 12 and almost beat them ...........................

 

Japan open swimming 

supriya mondal in the 200m butterfly can he break the 2:00 mark ?? , he recently broke the OST can he try for rehan pponcha NR ...OQT looks impossible 

sandeep sejwal in the 100 breaststroke ... he is the closest to the OQT .... can he break his own record 1:00:97 ...OQT is only 1:00:57 

Elated with the Indian girls yesterday, today if Saina beats Li, we can put pressure on China, coz Sindhu has a good chance against Wang Yihan with her power game. Gadde was most impressive yesterday, she has good deception in her game, with the way she holds her shot until the last moment, also the best back-hand among our girls, her court movement needs to improve though :) that's where she will get caught with the top players currently, she is 18, expect her calf muscles to get stronger in a year or 2 which should then propel her into the top 20, so basically no chance today in Gadde V Wang Shixian, we can maybe pray for an unlikely upset in the last doubles, if it goes that far.

Uber Cup Predictions: Lets see how far I might be correct

 

1. Li Xuerui vs Saina - Li will win

2. Wang Shixian vs Sindhu - Sindhu will win

3. Tian Qing/ Zhao Yunlei vs Jwala/ Sikki - Of course the olympic champions will win.

4. Wang Yihan vs SHivani - Wang Yihan will win.

 

So I would be happy even if we lose 1-3.... 2-3 would be a great bonanza... and a win would be fucking awesumiest thing :)

 

But India has one advantage... CHina lost in Thomas cup putting their girls in a bit psychological pressure.... Also Indian girls would be fresh as they played yesterday morning while the Chinese played in the night

 

FIngers crossed :fingers::fingers:

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
