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 also was one . In Fencing in epee there is Anoushka who is just 15 and is WR#202.

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

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
