Shooting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

So Bhaker is a double starter in pistol allowing one quota to be transferred to the 50m rifle.

 

Just wondering why Moudgil is in the mixed rifle event, does Chandela not want to participate?

Chandela is the not even top 4 shooter in India in 10m air rifle. Elavenil and Anjum are 1 and 2 so it's ridiculous that Apurvi got the spot ahead of her based on 2019 performance.  They compensated by giving Anjum air rifle mixed.

Not happy with the selection of Indian team. Apurvi is not in form clearly and so is Deepak Kumar. At least Anjum is there in mixed rifle 10m along with 503p but she concentrated so much on 10m that I don't know what to expect in 503p. 

 

Moreover Deepak underwent some surgery I don't know why the current form should not have been taken into account. 

 

Maybe Chinki was better than Manu for 25m. And Arjun/Aishwarya IN 10 m air rifle men. 

 

Definitely not happy with the squad. 

Personally speaking, I am happy with the squad. This was my pick before Covid. Anjum in Mixed team while Apurvi in Individual is a bit of compromise that was done, due to the fact that we had so many good shooters. Plus to accommodate Anjum in 50x3, we needed Manu to start two events. And Manu is the only one who can be expected to shoot 590+ in 25m Pistol. So, it was basically between Rahi and Chinki. Rahi’s experience won. Regarding Men’s Air Rifle, Deepak has been consistent for quite some time. Even in Delhi WC, he was not bad. 
 

Basically, if you want to dislodge the quota holder, you have to be consistently be better than quota winner. All tie-breaks go in favour of quota winner. Only Elavenil could achieve that domination.

Again current form isn't good but still she can recover I guess.

There is still time for Olympics. She had some equipment issues which will be sorted by the time of Olympics. If her form doesn’t improve closer yo Olympics, then she can be replaced by reserve shooter then. She has shown that she has the temperament to be among the top shooters.

Because it says reserve shooters only if shooter gets covid or shooter doesn't participate for any reason. They didn't say if the form dips they can be replaced. If that was the rule then all 15 are at risk to qualify right

Bhai not everything has to be written/said. Apurvi and her coaches are aware of the problem (loss of weight leading to ill-fitting gear) which has led to her dip in form. They are working on it. If she is not able to solve the problem and/or the solution doesn't lead to better scores, then federation has many levers to ensure that Apurvi herself withdraws in favour of reserve shooter.  But, as of now, federation is backing Apurvi to regain the form. All our past shooting legends have time and again reiterated that one can't equate the scores in trials with that in WC or Olympics. Abhinav wasn't even shooting regularly in run up to Rio but we all knew he was a medal hopeful because of his experience. Apurvi was at top in 2019. So, backing her is not a wrong decision. 

 

Basically, we can make a case for Apurvi, Anjum and Elavenil all three. No matter which two were chosen, someone would have missed out. Same in 25m Pistol. In Air Rifle Men, Divyansh was sure selection but behind him Sandeep, Babuta, Aishwary were good in recent trials but were way behind Deepak in 2019.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
