What was he telling some 195kg what was that

It's Russia in general!! Most of the samples were from athletics and weightlifting. Many have been re tested and obtained positive while report has emerged that most negative samples were obtained by manipulation. Russian Olympic Chief has admitted its a "very serious issue" and the chances of Russia participating at next year Olympics are very less. Will be interesting to see how federations like the UWW, FIG, ICF ISSF respond because these are very close with Russia, especially ISSF lead by a Russian. As of now, Russia is banned in athletics and the ban may stay until 2021 at least.

is in

Includes Olympics though

IWF may have to ban Russia from Olympic weightlifting. In case it doesn't WADA will challenge the casa at CAS. This comes to effect as it was proved that samples in Moscow were manipulated. In such a case a 25kg difference between Li and other lifters is enough for China to choose +87kg if the suspension happens.

Just browsed about Dagestan and looks like some good wrestlers come from here. What do you think is the reason for their success?

Would have loved to watch the match but sadly it wasn't possible. Swollen leg injury means Deepak settles for a silver.

Hasan Yazdani wins gold in - 86kg. Deepak Punia settles for silver!!

Deepak Punia wins silver in - 86kg!! Forfeits the match due to injury

Rakhi Halder finishes with dismal 214kg again. Meanwhile analysing Mirabai's chances, it's more dep on the luck and other player's performance. Two of her rivals are from north korea and China. With 4 per each gender it's gonna be interesting!! North Korea Sure to send lifters in 59, 64,76kg Their 87 kg lifter is very good and could sneak through to be the 4th (In such a case no 49kg lifter) China Sure to send in 55kg, 64kg(just because of experience and being defending Olympic champion and probably world champion again) Surely they won't send lifters in 59 and 76 because no chance of gold. 87kg lifter has a edge in the remaining 3 categories So it's all about - 49 vs +87kg In +87kg, there is presence of Tatiana the WR holder from Russia lifting 333kg.Interestingly Li (Chn) is just 19 years old and lifting 323 already. If Li makes 345+ it's possible she goes through, though it looks a lot but Li has shown such big improvement that nothing can be said.

We reject your resignation. From today you shall be the incharge of all medal tables of all multi sport events and world champs and shall be called ' Sir Phelps' in honor of Phelps, The Great who conquered all sports by sheer will power and hard work!!

And also the fact that Israel was in our draw. There was a good chance that the Lebanese athlete entered the semis and maybe the finals but facing Israeli meant it was a no show for the Asian Games silver medallist based in Michigan.

India are 6th with 2 medals not 8th

I don't watch any boxing matches no matter how many Indians are in finals bcoz AIBA is nothing but a cheat.

Deepak is 20 years old

An analysis of how the women's wrestling Asian Olympic Qualifiers should turn out : Note :Q indicates Qualified already, A indicates could qualify at Asian Qualifiers 50kg Q A 53kg Q A / 57kg Q A 62kg Q A 68kg Q A 76kg Q A /

Hail San Marino

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.
