sameerph 5 Posted July 21, 2016 #3205 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I was looking at ranking across sports for our players/ teams . I think we can consider those in top 15 to have some chance of getting among medals at Rio, these are the players who are ranked within that range -Shooting Jitu Rai - 3rd in 10M air pistol, 2nd in 50 m pistol Abhinav Bindra - 13th in 10M air rifle Gagan Narang - 11th in 50M rifle 3 positions Mairaj Ahmed Khan - 9th in Skeet There are 2 more shooters - Sanjeev Rajput and Pooja Ghatkar who are among top 10 but are not part of Rio squad.Archery Womens team - 4th Deepika Kumari - 12th Laxmirani Manjhi - 15thBadminton Saina Nahwal -5th PV Sindhu - 10th (9th among those qualified for Rio) K Srikanth - 11th (9th among those qualified for Rio)Tennis Mixed doubles - there are no world rankings for mixed doubles. But if there were, I am sure Rohan-Sania would be among top 10.Boxing Shiva Thapa - 6th Vikas Krishnan - 6thWrestling Narsingh Yadav - 9th Yogeshwar Dutt - 9th Vinesh - 13thMens hockey team - 5th ( For a team event, I do not consider top 15 as having a chance of a medal , therefore not including 13th ranked Indian womens team) That makes it a total of 17 events. To this I would add - Tennis mixed doubles- there are no rankings for those but if there were I am sure Rohan-Sania would be in top 10. Gymnastics- Deepa Karmakar was 5th in the last world championships in vault Weighlifitng - Meerabai Chani has the 4th best lift this year. Archery - Atanu Das finished 4th and lost to the world champion Korean in the last world cup Shooting - Gurpreet Singh in rapid fire and 10M pistol, Manavjeet Sandhu /Kynan Chenai in mens trap, Apurvi Chandela/Ayonika Paul in womens 10 M air rifle, Gagan Narang- 10M Air rifle, Heena Siddhu in 10 M air pistol - all have won medals in world level events in last couple of years. So, considering the variability of results in shooting, they can shine on a given day at Rio. I am not including anyone in athletics despite some staggering results by mens relay ream and mens jumpers. So, it would make a total of 28 in starting lists with a shot at a medal. However, uncertain part is most of them would require to improve on their rankings/ current position and over perform to finish among medals. Our athletes did that in London where we had even lower medal contenders. If they do that again and about 1/4th of the above do that , we may be looking at improving our medal tally above the London tally of 6. The downside is if everyone performs exactly as per their rankings, we may end with 2-3 medals too. Realistically, we are looking at a range between 2-8 medals for us at Rio. I hope the more optimistic scenario materialises. Edited July 21, 2016 by sameerph nitinsanker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaibhav (minchu) 2 Posted July 21, 2016 #3207 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Just to add on to above posts... its fair ranking can be a criteria to judge the potential. But for shooting - its way more unpredictable than even boxing For instance: Moldoveanue who won 10m Air Rifle last time was ranked outside top 30 then! A quick glance at 50m3P shows Sanjeev at 8th (a straight jump from 66th based on a single good showing in Gabala) whereas Campriani at 17th.

But, still some indicator of current form of the shooters. For instance, on their day even the likes of Apruvi Chandela, Heena Siddhu & Chain Singh can spring a surprise but their current form has been poor which reflects in the rankings. We need some surprises in shooting. I think if we have to exceed our London tally of 6 medals, we need at least 3 medals from shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
