Guys.. Your opinion on the recent controversy of making Salman Khan as goodwill ambassador for Rio 2016

 

My views:

1) IOA should have appointed 1 from each field (sports, bollywood, music, arts, science) rather than concentrating on bollywood alone. Olympics is historic event and cannot be compared to IPL, ISL, HIL, PBL, etc

 

2) Salim Khan, father of Salman Khan, should apologize not only to Milkha Singh but to the entire nation for insulting a sporting legend

 

3) IOA should have considered Salman Khan's track record. In 2009, he became the brand ambassador of AIFF and it did no good in creating awareness or opportunities 

 

4) IOA is stating that they are now receiving corporate funding since appointment of Salman Khan, which is a good news. Will IOA ensure that these funds go to the athletes? Only 101 days remaining for Rio 2016 and I personally feel that the funds are coming at the 11th hour which will not benefit the athletes. If IOA felt that these funds would come, then why didn't they do this atleast a year ago so that our athletes could use these funds (provided it reach them) for high level abroad training

 

 

PS: 1 good thing coming out of this controversy - atleast few more people know that Olympics is approaching

I have not followed this saga much but here are my 2 cents: I am not sure why there is so much of fuss over Salman's appointment. I feel he 'can' be a great ambassador. Let's now hope that he does well and is encouraged. Criticism can be reserved once we are at a stage to judge his work as the ambassador.

Update from day 4 from the weightlifting Olympics qualifier 

 

Women's weightlifting 

 

Good news -  :IND quota finalised in women's weightlifting for Rio ................................   though the standings will be officially announced in three days ................... the down side ..............   Punam 204 kgs total here slight fall from worlds championship total of 208  ....................... almost surely with current scores India will finish 2nd after Vietnam ... I was expecting her to beat the Vietnamese and keep the contest open for the first place but that contest is over ....by the way ..... Saikhom  Mirabhai has broken the Indian snatch record in the 48kgs and equalled the Indian total record in 48 kgs in this event  ... a great achievement as usual not highlighted by the press 

 

 

Men's weightlifting 

 

Exciting event ....Indias Captain ........... Sathish  Sivalingam did well to finish with 23 points ...narrowly missing out on 25 points ......he was o.n a knives edge on the weight in with being weighed in at exactly 77 kgs ...one gram more he would have been knocked out .................... then he did well in the snatch and then gave the start weight  in clean and jerk as 175 kgs ( the same weight he gave to crash out of the world championships without a lift ) , luckily he moved down to 172........... and got one lift in and then missed 2 lifts at 177 ..........  

 

Currently India is on the 8th position in the qualification with 7countries  to qualify but today's performance by Satish seems to help India's qualification chances as we now have 3/4 with 19 points or above if out of the remaining four 3 of them can  average 19 points we can surely qualify ........  In our corner are three accomplished weightlifters Vikas / Venkata and Pardeep with Gurdeep back up .........  So tomorrow is a critical day for the men's weightlifters with two Indians in the fray ................... Vikas and Venkata Ragala need  to cross 19 points ( i,e finish in the top 6 out of the qualifying nations  ) to ensure that India's chances become more concrete

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster
    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
