Please try to be in shoes of Bhavani Devi. There was never a history of fencing in India and neither there are any past athletes to boast about. Federations get funds from Sports Ministry based on their past performance and realistic medal hopes in future (as far as I know).

Bhavani Devi finished in last 16 of the World Championships yet got scant attention in media. Her Facebook page gets few hundred likes. Only those who follow fencing or Indians keeping track of Olympic qualifications recognise how big an achievement this is just to qualify for the Olympics.

Now after all this should she forego her quota spot even though she won't come any near a medal but still may get media attention like DIpa Karmakar in 2016 and inspire some youngsters to take up the sport, which may help rise of fencing in India

Who else can talk more on Bhavani....I had asked OGQ and Padukone academy for support in 2012 when no one was even knowing her. Today people are talking about the sports. People here would vouch on my statement. I was behind Sindhu  when she was 16-18 when entire country was behind Saina. Today the result is in front of everyone. I always see the future stars where others see present, this culture of seeing only medal winners today is bad in India. See for 6-8 years ahead and then see the results. Support 14-18 yrs people now and get the result in 2024-28

Tokyo - 2020

Go India Go

Understood. But the federations are sometimes themselves not eager to improve.

So we will end up with 17 member shooting team in most likelihood. 

 

Anish will qualify if he can maintain top 15 in the rankings. 

 

Kynan is qualifying easily even being at 21st spot. Turkey, France and Germany are there but it's easy for him. 

Slovakia will swap the quota won as Erik Varga has 2 quotas won. 

Qatar will swap the quota from the unknown shooter who won it to the Dakar Rally  Champion, Naseer Al Atiya, Olympic bronze medallist in skeet. 

Chinese Taipei can swap too. 

One of the above Europeans will win a quota in their last Tournament.

How will swaps make a difference to Kynan's chances? Ranking quota is allotted before any swaps. Also, there will be only one ranking quota no matter what. Even if Slovakia, Qatar and Chinese Taipei swap quotas, it won't add any more quotas in Trap. 

 

Also, Italy still doesn't have quota in Men's Trap. If Italy fails to win the European quota, there is no way anyone else is going to win the ranking quota.

Oh wait I realize the quotas are counted. :p

He has to do the rest now.

Sumit Nagal has good ground strokes but a very weak serve, really needs to work on that to progress in future.

    • For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/
    • It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.
    • Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position
    • Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt 
    • Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.
    • Well ya, which is why the Egyptian and Iranian teams can shut up and dribble :P
    • The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle 
    • After looking at the entry list of athletes in the official website, I've changed some of my predictions in the Olympic events with these changes:   Total Tally: Thailand 87, Singapore 51, Vietnam 48, Indonesia 33, Philippines 24, Malaysia 22, Cambodia 1     Badminton (5): Malaysia 2, Thailand 1, Singapore 1, Indonesia 1   Men’s Singles: Switched from Thailand to Singapore     Boxing (11): Thailand 8, Philippines 2, Vietnam 1   Men: -54 kg (-55 kg): Thailand, -60 kg: Thailand, -63.5 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -69 kg (-70 kg): Thailand, -80 kg: Philippines   Women: -50 kg (-51 kg): Thailand, -54 kg: Thailand, -57 kg: Thailand, -60 kg: Vietnam, -66 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -70 kg: Philippines     Sailing (7): Thailand 4, Singapore 2, Malaysia 1   ICLA 6: Switched from Thailand to Malaysia     Taekwondo (8): Thailand 6, Vietnam 2   -67 kg: Switched from  Vietnam to Thailand     Weightlifting (5): Thailand 2, Philippines 1, Indonesia 1, Malaysia 1   Men: -65 kg: Malaysia, -94 kg (-95 kg): Thailand   Women: -53 kg: Thailand, -69 kg: Philippines, -77 kg: Indonesia   * I saw that they have actually change the weight categories to almost match that of IWF newly introduced categories from several months ago.      Wrestling (12): Vietnam 7, Philippines 3, Indonesia 2   Men's Freestyle: -57 kg: Philippines, -65 kg: Vietnam, -74 kg: Vietnam, -86 kg: Philippines Men's Greco-Roman: -67 kg: Indonesia, -77 kg: Vietnam, -87 kg: Indonesia, -97 kg: Vietnam Women's Freestyle: -50 kg: Vietnam, -53 kg: Vietnam, -57 kg: Vietnam, -62 kg: Philippines    
    • Many permutations possible in the last game, going to be a nail-biter!  v  is the live game on the Olympic Channel later today.   2025 WCF Curling Olympic Qualification Event – Kelowna, Canada   Team   Wins   Losses   Men       CHN 6   0     P USA 5   1     P JPN 4   2     NED 3   3     PHI 3   3     KOR 2   4     NZL 1   5     POL 0   6    
    • This is absolutely ridiculous. If you aren’t willing to celebrate Pride then you should simply not come to Seattle. You have to respect local customs.   https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c208392884jo
