The Italian bid video was way better than the Swedish, they might have won it there.

No they wouldn't i suppose, 16 teams would face off for 8 spots or the best ranked unqualified team qualifies like last time.

The sports with lesser chances of medals like hockey. Not in rugby sevens

So the universiade may be affected with second or third string teams.

Btw where is swimming

Which channel athletics is broadcasted?

Wait I got a doubt. What if China gets the full quota in shooting? They have mixed team quota in 10m rifle and pistol + 2 each in individual men's and women's 10m so the mixed team starters need not be starting in individual event?

Sambo Don't know why Olympic Channel is showing it for 2 days, what a boring sport

Italy look good in mixed recurve event, they won bronze in worlds, could be a contender at tokyo if they are consistent like now.

Any table tennis livestream?

I feel the newer format is awesome and interesting. (Not bcoz India won all golds in the new format since introduced in rifle and pistol world cup ) Maybe from top 8 they can have quarters with teams competing with each other as 1vs 8 2vs 7...

Sonia Lather hasn't been that good over the years and been out of action for almost a year in big events. Sarita Devi had beaten Simranjit in India open 3-2, though the scoreline looked closer than it actually appeared as claimed by reports. Lovlina would make it over others as she's world medallist meaning possible higher seed at Asian championships and easier draw until semis.

Will athletics be worth watching even a session with only select events

Now that you entered the Indian National Thread you shall be trapped here and be required to post about Indian athletes every week. . . . . . . . p. s: National Threads are sometimes boring so yeah thanks for giving an opportunity to joke. Always welcomed here

Yup there are white ones.. Like the ones in North east resembling Myanmar, China etc

As IOC said the quotas were based on the performance of continents in World Championships the last 2 women's world championship were in India and Kazakhstan. So we got quotas easily. Women's categories : *48-51 : Mary Kom China, Kazakhstan, Japan, North Korea, India + 1. Easy qualification. Even Mongolia and Taipei are good in this weight but with 6 in world qualification, more will join. *54-57 :Sonia Chahal/Nikhat Zareen/Manisha Moun China, North Korea,Thailand /India /Mongolia /Vietnam *57-60 Sarita Devi Thailand , China,South Korea, Mongolia /Tajikistan - unpredictable but Olympic bronze medallist from 2012 Chorieva is still 28 /India - may get a difficult draw due to poor performance in this category *64-69 Basumatry /Lovlina China, South Korea, Kazakhstan, India - not difficult competition unless a difficult draw, mostly not bcoz of world bronze *69-75 Pooja Rani After beating the world champion in 81kgrecently, she's expected to be in top 4 easily if not the best returning to 75kg. China India South Korea Kazakhstan Optimistic :5 Pessimistic :3 Average : 4

Angola is qualified in handball long ago.

And again the Indian Recurve team crumble under pressure settling for silver. Atanu Das shoots six 8s out of 8 shots along with consuming 35s in 1st shot of end 4.What a disaster!!The Women came into pressure early in pre quarters men did it a bit later in finals!! Even Tarundeep Rai shot 2 7s and 2 8s with cumulative score not even 210 out 240, and India choke in important occasions as usual, especially in televised matches if you notice. Need to learn from Chinese having two 18 year olds, like current Indian shooting team with juniors.

He doesn't need to qualify by timings either for Wch or Olympics. He'll make it through rankings comfortably and yeah the Olympic final was won in 3:50 at Rio

10 am local time ( 1.30pm IST) Men's Team Recurve Gold starts at 2.59pm IST.

Ok. Just 3 days elder to me ofc

Your not 18 seriously?

So Mexico, Sweden and Denmark won the quotas.

Where are the results

Archery finals are not today. Compound finals on Saturday Recurve finals on Sunday Today women's individual recurve Olympic qualifying event.
