    Not a great championship to be honest. Really failed miserably in pistol events with no quotas. Rifle was good with 3/4 quotas. Anything less than 2 golds and 5 medals in Olympic events was always bad. It's good to have something like that now so that expectations will be less next year.
     
    50m3P is our pet event now in both genders. One of the other big event is women's 10m Air Rifle where we won bronze courtesy Mehuli Ghosh and missing in quota due to 1 per nation rule, Tilottama Sen at 4th place, the 15 year old. Expecting both to make it to Paris next year through trials. 
     
    10m Air Rifle Women is the first event  at the games which will decide our shooting teams as well as entire country's Olympic performance.

    Why do you mean about "universality"? An African country, Egypt, has a legit chance winning Olympic and WCh medals, which is something you don't see in many Olympic sports. The promotion sucks, but that's true about a lot of Olympic sports, just look at sailing atm. At the very least pentathlon doesn't require any additional venues, and it will be even cheaper to organize once the hosts won't have to provide horses for an event. I have been watching old Olympic footage recently and I think modern pentathlon improved the most in the past 20-30 years compared to all the Olympic sports. The horse lottery is the worst part about it now and that will be gone after Paris. I don't know what else people expect from this sport, it has evolved so much to make it more watchable.

    Unsurprisingly, the occasional naming of sons after Stalin, Lenin, Brezhnev, or Khrushchev in India is usually connected with a love for communism. As for daughters, in Kerala one can even, if very rarely, stumble upon women named Pravda (“truth” in Russian), after the Soviet newspaper
     
    Kerala is also where the first state-level communist government was formed, back in the 1950s. Thus, a few Keralites were named Pravda, Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, Khruschev, Mao, Trotsky, or Che Guevara. Some other names were more neutral and related to Russian culture and traditions, rather than communist ideology: Pushkin, Tanya, or Olga. There is even a village in Kerala – yes, of course it is called Moscow – where meetings of the region’s Stalins and Lenins are still being held. 
     
    Aside from Kerala, one can find some Lenins and Stalins in neighboring Tamil Nadu.
