I do not think sushil may be back , amit is injured for the last 3 years , pancham is banned .......... strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see Geeta fit in the squad. Tokyo - 2020 Go India Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, transitioning to 53kg should not be a big trouble. Regarding men's freestyle, we should give chance to youngsters. They can't perform worse than the present squad. Bajrang has matured a lot in recent past. He is a definite medal hope for Tokyo. Sumit has improved but qualifying for the games is still an uphill task for him. Sushil would try and come back but he should learn graceful retirement from Yogeshwar Dutt. In Greco-Roman as well, we should look at youngsters. With good exposure, some of them might be world class in 4-5 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Saina continues her golden form and defeated Nozomi Okuhara Now both MD pairs will play each other in QF. So, we are guaranteed one team in SF (Also, only 1 team can qualify for SF) Edited October 26, 2018 by Dolby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team does look pretty good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So womens squad 50 Kgs - Vinesh - definate medal hope 53 Kgs - Ritu or Babita phogat - definitely should qualify- both are high quality wrestlers 57 - Pooja Dhandha - should qualify she has improved a lot 63 - sakshi or ritu malik - sakshi showed a return to form and ritu placed 5th 68 - Divya Kakran - should also qualify ( navjot has also done well but has been there for ages without great success and divya is just 18 so should improve a lot ) 76 - is weak probably Kiran is the best bet still hopefully we can have 5 qualifiers Mens FS squad 57 kilograms/125.4 pounds - Sandeep tomar ( if amit kumar comes back from injury , I still feel he has a chance ) 65 kilograms/143 pounds; - Bajrang 74 kilograms/163 pounds; Sushil can still qualify if he comes to some form and there seems no one in that weight category 86 kilograms/183 pounds; deepak punia from the juniors ( silver at the junior worlds ) should be given a chance i feel 97 kilograms/213 pounds; satyawrat ????- he had class but again seems to have faded a bit ( but I think is much younger that khatri ) 125 kilograms/275 pounds. Sumit greco roman 60 - Vijay silver from the juniors I think is still the best bet 77 - junior wolrd silver medallist - Sajan 87- harpreet - needs to move up from 82 which is not that easy 97 - hardeep Edited October 26, 2018 by nitinsanker strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
