To qualify for Olympics or be in the rankings they have to submit whereabouts by May 23 failing to do so will not include them in the ranking to be released on June 1. So if they change their mind it should be done in the next 15-17 days.

Tonight in 2 hours time

Hoping the Israeli wins and faces Iran in 1st round at Tokyo Olympics .Woah that could be a must watch at the Olympics. I wonder who will win

Angola and Guniea Bissau have withdrawn from the tournament I believe.

UAE, Vanuatu were not on the start list while Sri Lanka could not participate

Not sure they are +ve and hence didn't participate today.

Beating Chamizo he has shown to be a contender. If he doesn't qualify here I'll consider his performance at European Champs a fluke. OK that is an overambitious project I think 2 medals but hang on you can get 5-6 medals too, just buy some good Russians, Georgians and it'll be achieved .

Salkazanov is favourite for the gold both here as well as Tokyo (at least a medal in Tokyo, anything less will mean lack of form or injury)

Ah well I remember reading this. Not sure if the replaced Georgian guy will win the gold.

Actually I meant with tripartite places ,beach volleyball and current qualified Vanuatu will have its biggest squad ever at Olympics. I'm closely reading Samoan Newspapers once a week. I'm happy with their preparation for the Olympics. They can win a medal (or 2 with some luck) in weightlifting and rugby team is preparing well since last year I don't know about France though for the Qualifiers.

Oh well I'm hoping the cases to decrease. We have a foolish idiot as PM who is happy to see people dying. Still people are closing their eyes and worshipping him like god . Nonetheless some of the best medal contenders will be in Croatia starting next week while many may opt for other nations (some in Bulgaria, USA already)

Now I just hope Miller/Toko can qualify for Tokyo , they have to do it they should do it for Vanuatu Beach Volleyball. That could mean the biggest squad with universality places

Jessica MacDonald of Canada. Can't rule out the Uzbek and Taipei girl too.

I'll be happy if we don't get any quota because our federation is shameful not sending it's best athletes in women's category 1.Seema is out of form don't expect much. She isn't the best in the weight 2.Nisha is horrible.She lost by fall to Korea and she's the 2nd best Indian. Asian champion in 68kg from 2020 who could have won medal at Olympics, Divya was not chosen Bcz she was recovering from covid when trials happened. She did win gold in non olympic category though. 3.Pooja is the 2nd best Indian here not the 2nd best wrestler though. World silver medalist from 2018 Yasmine Adar of Turkey is also here. Pooja has more chances than other Indian women wrestlers here but Kiran could have won the 2nd quota easily. At least Divya and Kiran should have been there

Lol. Btw which scoring system is in Olympics? Live score?

Youth World Boxing Championships last month

Due to strong winds, all races cancelled for today.

I read a report in toi that he wanted to train in US for 3 months with Mirabai but he didn't get the visa .Anyhow even if he's participating 320kg will be too much.

His chances are over, he seemed to have withdrawn from world juniors

Have a strong feeling the Indian flagbearer in women's side will be either Manu Bhaker, MC Mary Kom or PV Sindhu. Men's side a lot of options there.

We decline the men's quota lol. The media has declined it so if there is any nation who can get another quota can get it now . Rules of men's and women's events cant be the same can they lol

What quota in men's artistic gymnastic?

.

Yes but since there is a boat of laser radial 2nd event is unlikely ,the favourite is kiteboarding since IOC considers it modern but we never know what will they choose. I'm ok with any of the 3 but I prefer mixed 470 only since I don't like that event. So any of the other option can be considered. The biggest dissapointment for me is windsurfing replaced by windfoiling .

No chance of Men's Finn returning. If IOC doesn't want mixed offshore keelboat 3 recommendations put forward 1.Mens and Women's kiteboarding which is favourite (replaces mixed kiteboarding) 2.Mens and Women's 470(replaces mixed 470) 3.Mixed ILCA 6
