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.

China has the highest number of quotas but India has the strongest shooting team in the world at least in rifle and pistol, topping the medal table in every world cup this year.

Looks like Yeshashwini will top the qualification in all probability now.

See if you don't know the basic qualification rules it's better to read once. Go and download it from issf page.

It will be a massive upset if Heena qualifies. She's no where among the top 4 in the 10m Air Pistol in India. It could be Esha Singh, Shwetha or Yeshashwini. Another bad thing would be Deepak qualifying. He's awfully bad in finals no matter what. Maybe Yash Vardhan is preferable.

So the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier starts from tomorrow. All the matches at Arbroath, Scotland would be telecasted live on youtube. While are expected to be the favourites, led by Tippoch are expected to give them a tough fight. Thailand have never reached a World cup, but they have the edge over Ireland and Scotland as they begin their quest tomorrow for a world cup spot.

That was not surprising result at all for the Indian. Not beeing greedy but to put into perspective Indian No. 8 in domestic rankings in Women's 10m Air rifle has better average than Indian No1 in Men. Let alone that, even Mehuli Gosh (No 4) consistently shoots 629 is qualification and 250s in finals. Wondering if one of the top 4 shooters has high amount of natural testosterone, and issf and cas would ask them to compete as men, it would be more helpful.. Just Kidding...

One can still see baskets with 'Rio 2016' written on it. Looks like the range wasn't used for 3 years and the organizers were lazy and didn't remove it.

First time in over 16 months, Apurvi Chandela failed to reach a final in any international shooting event in 10m Air Rifle. But that was required as you can't expect to be the best always. Nonetheless 2 Indians in finals so a good one to watch.

Even in naples it was completely empty at least the athletics.

With Sindhu 's performance today should be enough to make her the country's flag bearer for Tokyo 2020 Olympics provided her match is not the next day.

Not to forget the Chinese are the only Ones from their country in the finals too. I too had predicted the result more out of hope than expectation in XD. I was hoping Antonsen to do the upset as he beat Momota last time they met.

Here are my predictions for today ; THE WINNERS : Women's Doubles Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota Women's Singles P. V. Sindhu Men's Singles Anders Antonsen Mixed Doubles (Close to Choose) Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai Men's Doubles Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan

World Judo Championships to start tomorrow. And we will continue to suffer with a corrupt association in India. The only Indian in Olympic Qualifying spot, Shushila Devi in - 48kg (381 points) will not even be sent. Instead 7 men(not a single in top 60) and 3 women being sent. Would have been wiser if it was 3 men and 7 women as qualifications chances were more in women's category.

Hotstar bags Table Tennis rights in India for the first time ever. Now you can watch all world tour events with live commentary. A good performance from the paddlers will push Star India to broadcast in on TVs.

Yeah at the Asian Games 2018 he did compete

Isn't that interesting we Indians didn't spot him the whole games but an American did LOL, he didn't participate in CWG 2018 !! Nonetheless expecting a gold tomorrow from the W Jr No1 in sprint Alben Esow with even Ronaldo in the quarters of the same event.

Men's Keirin at around 10 - 10.30pm
