Never expected that Indians would talk and follow Sailing sport so closely. Very happy for that and hope federation does some good work in immediate future to catch on this success. Though Netra was in limelight and was expected to do well, The performance of others has boosted the scene. Hope India now start giving prominence to rowing n sailing. Hope canoeing also would come to limelight soon.

I did watch a lot of sailing yesterday and today. Some Olympic replay and then Hempel WC where Netra Kumanan won the last race. I still believe the federation can improve so that we don't lose sailors after 1 or 2 good performances . Could have won 49erfx too had Aishwarya and Shwetha were given more hope by the federation. Nonetheless 3 boats is great

Yes that's what it says in result. So we have 3 boats with 4 people qualifying. A rare miss of the event where we could qualify to Olympics from me.

[Prashanth 175]

So India now confirmed with 2 boats and the third should be there if they don't over do.

[Siddhartha Talukdar 234]

So official confirmation of qualification of pair of K Ganapathy and Varun Thakkar in 49er as they had finished fourth in medal race.

World Sailing better rework their qualification system, otherwise the IOC will keep cutting into their territory. Too many continental spots.
