Overall analysis of shooting places as of now ....... shooting is likely to be one of Indias most  likely medal hopes ....... quick analysis only of quota places 

 

Pistol 

 

10M for Men - Saurabh and Abhishek already won quota places , Shahzar is also a great shooter ...... so  while saurabh stands apart form the rest ....... shahzar may challenge abhisjek for the quota if the NRAI holds a shoot off .... India has a great team with 3 shooters in top 15 and saurabh unoffically number one ( according to me as he is second without participating at the world championships ) 

 

25M rapid fire - India has won no quota places but with china already qualifying 2 shooters  and 4 quota places in the Asian, also , I believe we should have at least one qualifier if not two - Most like Anish or Adarsh - hopefully one at the last world cup and one at the asian competition or two at the asian qualification  - competition will be from korea ( they have a couple of really good shooters here )  , pak and vietnam but I think 2 is really possible . Anish is currently the 2nd highest ranked asian amongst the unqualified shooters 

 

10M pistol for women - With Manu qualifying, yeshashwini or heena may get one quota place but may not be that easy as the competition at the asian level is tough ( though china and south korea have maxed out ) but thailand , mongolia, singapore all have good shooters , I am hoping for One as even in the mixed pairs we should have our second pair  ( 5 other asians  ahead of yeshashwini ) 

 

25M pistol for women - with Rahi qualifying and Manu doing well in this event ( qualifying in 10m ) , I do not see chinki really qualifying , this event is truly open with china still only qualifying one , korea qualifying only none , Mongolia and thailand strong in this event and not having any qualifyers yet the asian event is going to really strong and tough 

 

10M mixed pair - obviously in Saurabh and Manu we have a world number one team but going forward I feel we would have a second Pair 

 

 

SO I think we may have 7 quotas in shooting Pistol ........also have 2 pairs in the tokyo , this will bring our team to a really strong 10 shooters participating in all 5 events as Manu would be shooting in two events 

 

 

 

Rifle 

 

50 M three positions Men - Currently our shooters doing badly ( highest Indian Parul is 48th in the world )  .... maybe they need to induct a couple of youngsters likeSheoran or Kusale but the asian standard is also very weak  ( china already has 2 quota places ) so I feel we may get one at the asian championship 

 

10M air rifle for men - Divyansh panwar qualifying is great , also  deepak and Ravi are doing well and at asia they may induct Hriday Hazarika I feel and I am confident we will get our second quota the highest ranked Asian who is unqualified and probably qualify 

 

 

10M air rifle for women - Here we have plethora of riches with anjum and apurivi ranked 1 and 2 in the world (already qualified ) and velaranivel is also knocking on the door of the top 10 

 

50 M 3 position for women - i believe we have a good chance to have either sunidhi or gayatri to qualify , and anjum would be the second shooter here

 

In pairs we will have two pairs and I believe both teams are strong ..........

 

 

Total quotas may be 6 , but we will have most likely two pairs and Anjum shooting in the 3 positions we should have I feel 9 strong shooters in the 5 Rifle events 

 

shotgun 

 

 

 

 

Trap _ I think Kyanan would defintely qualify 

 

skeet _ i think either mairaj , shiraz should qualify 

 

 

I think we may get one women in either trap or skeet if we are lucky ......Possibly Ganemat and I am wondering where is manisha keer 

 

I think we have 3 athletes competing in the 5 events 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Couldn't have analysed better. 

[Fly_like_a_don 1,142]

Maybe shotgun is open for a few qualifiers and could be anyone's game, not medal contenders though I still feel. 5-6 medals is realistic with both Saurabh and Manu having won golds in multi sport events, experience is there. Chandela hasn't won a gold in any multi sport and finished 4th in world championship 2018, it remains to be seen if its the good form now or inability to crack in  pressure situations.

Has anyone analysed India's chances in Table Tennis? I believe we can definitely secure two quota places for both Men's Singles and Women's Singles.

What are our chances in Men's Team? According to me, we should qualify as we are currently 11th while 16 teams qualify. Achanta and especially Sathiyan's performances have been very consistent. What has happened to Soumyajit Ghosh; has his personal problems resolved or not? 

Coming to Women's Singles, barring Manika Batra I saw no other strong contender. We might sneak through a second quota in Women's Singles but don't see hopes in Womne's Team. Has Mouma Das retired?

Fully agree about our chances. Sathiyan, Achanta and Manika should qualify easily. Men's Team should also qualify without too much problem. There is small chances for Women's team as well as second quota in WS. I am hopeful for Mixed Doubles as well.

Dont forget mixed doubles ....... In fact in this event we have a good chance to reach quarters I think ..............................
