The one squad which I feel can make the olympics is the womens 4*400 squad with the recent performances being good in the 400 m ...I feel the squad of Juana / anilda / poovama and possibly tintu can easily hit 3:29 which will take them to Rio................... The others improvement  based on the recent scores and we will need to see what is the best that they can do

We have a recorded timing of 3.29 sec recorded in August 2015..Which comes for the calculation. So we still are in the contention for the slot in relay...

 yes but currently we are 17th in the list of 4*400 m ...................we need to do another 3:29 as the  average of best 2 is considered and I feel it is possible ...............

@gvaisakh  @Prashanth  @Dolby  @Suneet @kapil857 I remember someone posting likely qualification in athletics earlier ........ do not remember who ....If after the fed cup that list is updated it would a useful list to consider how many qualification chances we may have left in athletics ...................

Thanks for the update a lot of work has gone it ...I would like to compare it with the Information I have ....... I think we should add the following as well 

 

additions

 

qualification for 50 km walk is 4:06;00 ... I think we should add these two as possible qualifiers 

Basant Bahadur Rana	4:07:25	Jaipur (IND)	28.02.2016
Chandan Singh	4:09:51	Jaipur (IND)	28.02.20

 

mens 400m 

Mohd Anas 45.75..... 0.35 seconds behind 

 

mens 400,mh 

durgesh50.37  - 0.87 seconds behind 

 

Mens 800 m 

jinson johnson - 1:47.56 ,      ........ .... as the qualification for 800 m is 1.46......   so he is 1.56 seconds behind not a huge time difference in the 800m , lalit mathur 1.47.90..................... 1.90 seonds behnd and sajeesh 1.47.96 which is 1.96 seconds behind 

 

 

also add rajender singh 

 

82.23 in the javelin in 2015 to the javelin group as a possible qualifier  ( he did it in mid april las year which may be on the outskirts of the qualification cycle but we can add him as a prospect )

 

 

women discus - seema antil 

 

58.86m recently  with the qualification at 61.00 ................. she is 2.14 m behind but well within her grasp 

 

mens shot - tejinder singh 

 

19.93 in the shot which is .57 behind the qualification of 20.50 

 

womens long jump -

prajusha - 6.30 with the qualification at 6.70  which is .4 behind 

 

mens 5000m 

 

13.36 by lakshmanan govindhan at wuhan  13.25 is the olympic qualification ...so 11 seconds behind 

 

modifications 

for triple jump women 

road to rio has mayookha johny at 14,09 at South africa 22.04.16 - but I cannot find this at top lists ??? - not sure 

 

for 200m srabani was faster than duttee so the scores shoudl be reversed 

 

it is awesome to see this list once updated we seem to have temendous talent at this point of time in Indian atheletics

Final update from the asian olympic qualification in weightlifting 

 

Women's - India finished 3rd ( top 6 get 1 quota ) pipped by one point in the last event by Uzbekistan , Vietnam finished 1st as expected .........As discussed the quota was definate and confirmed  ............. The scores by the women in the higher weights were disappointing,  to say the least  ( to give you a feel Sushila panwar in +75 kgs lifted the same wieght as mirakhom in the 48kg - 190 kg ) .......  But on the positive side mirakhoms lift of 190 total would have put her 5th in the world championships and possibly 4th in the olympics ...... she is a distinct medal prospect and under kunjaranis tutelage would I am sure be definite medal prospect in the womens 48 at Rio  and I am sure she would be the weightlifter nominated ................ In the long term looking at womens weightlifting there was no new 4th weightlifter standing out ....... so India for tokyo needs to build a couple of new weightlifters or wait for drug tainted krisani and mitali to get back to get our 6 member squad in place .............

 

Men's - India finished 6th ( top 7 get one quota )  ..closed the one quota finally ..still close to the first 7 mark not be complacent ....but on the positive side they seems to have a series of young weifghtlifters who could form the nucleus of the squad for the next cycle- Venkat Ragala with a strong 316 in the 85 kg was great , Sambo and jeru ( from Arunachal ) are both juniors and 2-3 years should be there along with seniors like Vikas and Sathish  .... Vikas Thakurs performance was good and most possibly he may be our one quota for Rio ( he would probably finish in the 12-15 range there ) so not much can be expected of him ...............

I am guessing the heavier women aren't really elite weightlifters but were sent primarily to prevent manipulation of the stupid weightlifting qualification rules like UAE managed in London 2012.

 

Weightlifting has the stupidest qualification procedure ever - it is a completely individual sport but qualification is based almost entirely on team performance - that too with a weird and made-up point system. In effect, 6 men and 4 women need to combine to earn just a single quota. In London, UAE had gamed this system and sent 2 girls in 75kg and 2 girls in +75kg. All these girls lifted lower or near the weights lifted by the 48kg women. But, since Asia in general is weak in heavier categories, and all countries are restricted to a max of 7 weightlifters across categories, there were pretty much no other weightlifters, still fighting for qualification, participating in these categories. As a result, despite lifting ridiculously low weights, the UAE girls finished like 3rd and 4th among qualifiers (which was second-last and last) and thus managed to earn a quota....once again, despite finishing second last and last by a huge margin...

No.. The list actually mentions the quota winners. Since Sushil was injured, Narsingh Pancham Yadav participated in Sushil's weight category and won the quota in last yr's World Champs.. The final team will be selected only in months of June/July after the trials are done.. If Sushil can beat Narsingh in the trials, Sushil will go to Rio
