US transit visa is required for foreign nationals except for Canada and Bermuda citizens, if the flight has a layover at US. This is required even if the person is not intending to leave the airport.

won't be able to participate in World Relays due to visa issues. They were a contender for the quotas https://island.lk/us-visa-issues-deny-sri-lanka-olympic-qualifying-opportunity-in-bahamas/#google_vignette

Officially we add 7 more athletes as Badminton qualification ends today. So the players who qualify are Men's Singles: HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen Women's Singles: PV Sindhu Men's Doubles: Chirag Shetty / Satwiksairaj Rankireddy Women's Doubles: Ashwini Ponnappa / Tanisha Crasto

All depends on Athletics now. Key tournaments coming up next like World Relays and Indian Grand Prix 1

No quota in Fencing . But Taniksha came close and is for the future. Hope Fencing Association gives more exposure in next cycle

Maheshwari Chauhan wins quota in women's skeet!! Shooting contingent now 21

It's the same ranking but as on June 2024

Nethra Kumanan qualifies in ICLA6 after taking the ENP spot in Last Chance Regatta and finished 5th overall.

Who is eligible for ENP in ILCa6, is it or

Whom do you feel is likely to take the Universality quotas. Will it be and in men and and in women?

Boosts team rankings. I feel team qualification is almost confirmed; however the women would have to fight it out

Qualified for mixed race walking relay event as pair of Arshdeep Singh and Priyanka Goswami finished 18th in World Race walking relays. As quota goes to NOC we can choose to select upto 2 athletes extra in our contingent https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-race-walking-team-championshi/antalya-24/live/7199325/30261/46704/results#

I am aware of that rowing timings are based on natural factors and thus there is no 'World record' similar to athletics as no two courses are the same. I only mentioned we have a chance of additional quota and there's no harm in participating in last qualifier

Still have hope for LM2x qualification. In 2023 World Championships, the last spot was taken by who did 6:26.49, then it was with 6:28.49, then (6:28.66), (6:31.08). While pair of Arvind Singh and Arjun Lal Jat did 6:28.18 in Asian Games and 6:30.11 in Asian qualifiers, so we can assume they can do 6:30 again. Also hasn't won a quota yet and is entering European qualifiers in LM2x event. FYI there are two quotas available for Final qualifiers So fingers crossed!!
