India National Thread

Any latest updates on Neeraj Chopra's surgery. When is he expected to return?

 

What are our hopes in qualification for Sailing. Since Japan gets the Host Nation quota and are decent in sailing in Asia which ensures better chances for others. We had bagged medals in Skiff 49er class in both genders and probably can qualify for 2020.

Ironical that Sailing is so underdeveloped in India considering the first meeting of Asian Sailing Federation was in Mumbai

I think we would be in hunt for quota in couple of events. Can't remember which events but there were couple of events where we did decent in Asian Games and which have Asian quotas. So, assuming 2-3 chances, we should realistically have 1 quota in sailing. Optimistically, it might reach 2 as well.

Any idea about Indian team for Summer Universiade?

Each category will last for 2 days meaning 1st to semis ( 3 matches) on 1 day and finals on the next day. This is pretty much followed in all European and world events. However Olympics, Asian games and all Asian events used the each category  completing on same day. Wrestling will not be fun for now.

Not a great squad, not supported by university or government, 3rd string athletes in all sports, many withdrawn due to financial problems, athletics archery and shooting is decent.
