Acc to page 4 its serpentine system only. Once seeded all 32 positions are assigned without a draw. Only teams 32-64 are drawn randomly.

Whatever be the Indian ranking, we are likely to face one of Croatia, Slovakia, England or a few others. It will be evenly balanced. We have a good doubles so that along with Sathiyan even winning 1 of 2 means Sharath or any 1 of the other needs to win 1 match. On the contrary Women's team finishing 9th is a blessing in disguise. Though the qualifying chances are slim, the worser their ranking (Not 30+),the better part of draw. Currently Korea, Taipei could be in their quarter provided serpentine system is followed.

So Indian campaign at the Asian TT Championship ends. Men's Team did well to finish 5th. Women's Team could have done better (9th) Doubles we didn't get good draw. Men's Singles - Sathiyan reached quarters, 1st Indian to do so in 43 years, went down fighting against Lin Gaoyan, WNO 4 from China. Women's Singles - Ayika Mukherjee had a fantastic tournament beating Chen Szu Yu in 1st round and then in pre quarters giving a great performance against the Olympic Champion (if i am not wrong, 1st Indian ever to pull a game off Ding Ning, who later crushed Japanese No1 in straight sets in quarters).

Mirabai Chanu will have her event at the World Weightlifting Championships 2019 tomorrow at 4.30pm IST. Sadly we can't watch it. The livestream on Olympic Channel is blocked and IWF say star India has the rights. But I asked Star India who said they haven't bought any such rights for the event.

At least Pooja would have been in the repechage losing to Kawai. Kiran did well but Gray is a great athlete

As I said before she is highly overrated. Btw India could have its 1st ever world women's wrestling champion tomorrow.

So we would finally have a female with 2 world wrestling champions medals in the form of Pooja Dhanda, still won't be that great bcoz it's non Olympic category. The trials were never required in 57kg i believe, even if she lost to Sarita it was because they know each others moves well. But Pooja has a lot of experience.

So @zob79 Now that you really want to argue, here is a question for you : How many wrestlers have been nominated for Laureus sports award in the last 5 years? Name Them

You keep your views to yourself. There is a way to express your views. Alina Vuc will never win an Olympic medal, I am 100% sure

I don't think you follow wrestling that much. Vinesh is the Asian Games Champion in 50kg and had beaten Sun Yanan very easily in the 1st round there. I still remember how Vinesh had thrashed Alena Vuc of Romania in Rio by technical superiority only getting an injury in quarters. So your Romanian athlete is a 4th or 5th class contender if Vinesh is 2nd class.

Yeah I'm hoping the 2 athletes swap their categories at Olympics. It's much easier to win gold in 50kg for vinesh rather than be in top 8 in 53kg.

So if 1 athlete gets a quota in X can she qualify and participate in Y?

Does the quotas go to the NOC or the athlete?

Indian men qualify for Olympic Qualifying Tournament!

I never said about stopping to follow watching wrestling. Just that we are overexpecting here. We are not improving in Rowing at World level. And Judo? When do we give them a opportunity? The federation is not good and improvements are required. I wasn't sure about future of Judo but that changed when I first watched Thangjam Tababi Devi, silver medallist from Youth Olympics 2018 at just 16, India's first ever global judo medallist.

Not at all suprised. I said before wrestling is doing no good, winning medals at Asian level especially in greco doesn't mean we are improving. The rankings in wrestling aren't that good too. For example Seema in 50kg, she's not even a top 10 wrestler to be honest, if she can last 4 of 6 minutes against Japanese or Chinese that will be a great achievement for her.

More surprising was Ronaldo clocking 10.065 in 200m time trial, aiming to be the 1st Indian to complete the race in under 10s.

These national trials in shooting are by far the hardest shooting events for Indian shooters throughout the entire year. Someone like Apurvi dominating the whole year finishing sixth, Anjum 4th, and more teenagers into the finals. Gosh I don't think any country will have a more difficult shooting nationals than India.(rifle and pistol only)

and qualify for T20 Women's World Cup 2020. This will be the first time that Thailand would qualify for a icc world cup in men's or women's.

https://youtu.be/_0l8kTNfg3Q Get the live stream of the match as well as watch the earlier match.

Ahaa, wish and your wish would come true beat by 2 runs in an absolute nail biter. Therefore Thailand top the group and reach semis. Semi Finals (Mostly) vs vs Neither Thailand or PNG have ever qualified for the World cup. The winner of semis qualifies so we have a new nation in ICC Women's world cup.

Basically with more quotas, there are possibilities for team sports with at least 8 teams in each gender and also more individual events . Be it Baseball /Softball,Kabaddi, Canoe Polo, Polo, Cricket, Wushu, Teqball, Acrobatics, Chess or Sepaktakraw. Not to forget Karate which is not in Paris.

Quotas given to Sailing are just too many. Not more than 20 boats in each event, while two person dingy should get 12-14 quotas at most. This along with some rowing events like the eights are not allowing newer sports to be played.

Add the 2 mixed events too. Yeshashwini won it in absence of Manu (MQS - 580 easily the 2nd best qualifying) And then we have Abhishek and Saurabh to partner them. Not to forget the unbeaten pair of Anjum /Divyansh in air rifle mixed.
