@gvaisakh Are we going to add the athletes to the qualified list or we will wait till official announcement from BWF on badminton qualification.

Added.. Coz it's unlikely that these 7 will change.. 

 

Similarly, I have added weightlifting too few days back but I have not mentioned the weight category

Are we going to hit the 100 athlete mark this time. I think we have 94 confirmed till now. I don't think any athletic event would be refused by India.

Yes i think we may reach 110-120. 86 already confirmed, 4 in tennis & 3 in golf also almost confirmed. 1-2 each in judo & swimming almost certain. We may obtain 5 in boxing & wrestling together. And with many here predicting 10-15 more in athletics, so 110-115 mark looks like certainty...

They say if nobody can obtain direct qualification than each NOC can sent one athlete per gender. But in last Olympics India sent only one male swimmer, none from female. Why?

Did we surendered one place last time?
