As per the report by Hindu .....there was an open event at the same time as the Asian 20 Km race walking event and two Indians clocked 1:20 times ( better than Gurmeets 1:20 )  , and one of them equalled irfans national record  at 1:20:21................    This is great news as then there were 3 indians recording 1:20 timings in one event ...it is only a matter of time that they break the 1:20 barrier and reach 1:19 or so which could put them into medal contention at the olympics ( 2015 IAAF world championship 20km gold medal was 1:19:14 and bronze at 1:19:57 ) :bowdown::bowdown:

 

"Interestingly Devender equalled the four-year-old national record of K.T. Irfan while finishing fifth overall in 1:20.21s while Manish was sixth in 1:20.26"

Was reading the news and found this story....

Not sad...having that post is good. But its unfortunate that no one recognizes them...I agree with him when he says, If they don't recognize why should he go n intro himself...I was a great fan of Gagan rather then Rajpal to be true..

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
