Dipa Karmakar has become the first female Indian gymnast to qualify for the Olympics, after giving an astounding performance at the final qualifying event in Rio de Janeiro.

The 22-year-old is also the first gymnast from the country to participate in the Olympics since 1964.

What do you think about it?

What can we expect from this new young talent?

Dear Alessandro,

        It is wonderful that you have noticed this new athlete Dipa from India. Just to let you know this is a new sport for us and until recently we did not think about it seriously, so Dipa did it with minimum support available. We are a sport loving nation but such sports like gymnastics we never had any hope. Dipa is a specialized vault athlete, with the Produnova vault you can expect her to score above 15 at Rio, expected finalist in the vault event, not a realistic chance in overall or other 3 events. This qualification has helped our budding gymnasts and expect more qualifications in Tokyo.

So go by the recent performance in athletics, can we hope for atleast 4-5 more quota in rio? If we add 4x400 women relay than can it be 8-10?

 

Realistic chances for quota in Athletics as I feel, others do let me know your thoughts.

2 quota in women's 100m(2 among Dutee,Srabani and Jyothi)

1 quota in women's 200m(1 among Dutee,Srabani and Jyothi)

1 quota in Men's 100m(Amiya)

1 quota in Men's 400m(Rajiv or Muhammad Anas)

2 quota in Women's 400m(Poovamma and Anilda)

1 quota in Men's triple jump(Renjith or Arpinder)

2 quota in women's 5000m (OP Jaisha, LSuriya)

1 quota in women's 10,000m (L Suriya)

1 quota in women's triple jump(Mayookha Jonny, there's no fracture so she should return in 3 weeks time)

1 quota in men's 50km race walk(100% sure we will get this on 8th May)

1 quota in Men's Javelin(Neeraj or Rajinder)

1 quota in 4X400 women's relay team.

 

Unless someone suffers from injury, these are a minimum we should get.

It means we have very good chance of getting 15 more quota places in athletics itself. It will take up athletics players qualification quota upto 33, more than Hockey. It will be very good achievement of Indian Athletics.   Moreover we can hope of 110-120 Indian players taking part in Olympics.

Prashanth and Vivek, I agree being optimistic, the obvious question that comes is why have they not qualified till now, but I guess athletes prepare themselves to peak before the big events, as we realized with all the NR's in the Fed Cup. The list I have put up seems realistic as of now, except L Suriya may decide to focus on one of the events rather than both. But again some of the ones which seemed uncertain I haven't added. For ex (Dharamvir -200m, Seema Punia - Discuss, Jinsen Johnson - 400m H, the new guy in Shot Put forgot his name, Prem Kumar Long jump, 4X400 men's relay team) 1 or 2 among these also have a chance, so ultimately we should be close to that number.

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
