All these islands only initiate as always but never make it to the games finally. 

And the fastest woman in India is the fastest woman at the universiade 
Great for her to win gold after fighting her case against IAAF for testosterone rules, then not getting accepted by family  being a LGBT athlete. And now she is the world university champion 
Dutee Chand, India's barrier breaking athelete. 

It's on Olympic Channel schedule 

So weightlifting will be streamed live on Olympic Channel, meaning a great opportunity to watch the Commonwealth Championships  with commentary. Looking for multiple records. 

That was a home assignment for all users to know what is happening and where. I was referring to weightlifting competitions where India is participating as commonwealth national. So indirectly part of Pacific games. 

I might not be able to get up so early.

I believe it's Nigeria and Lebanon

It was a historical moment for India at the Opening ceremony, as the Dutee Chand became the first ever flagbearer who was  openly belonging to LGBT.  This has never happened in any major multi sport event for India.

Tonga, Fiji and Samoa favorite to compete for the Olympic Quotas in mixed team no New Zealand and Australian archers yet. 
Upto 21 medals can be won by an individual in weightlifting in Samoa (at most 21 golds) 
Not part of Pacific games but 3 golds each across Oceania and Commonwealth Championships across the 3 age groups apart from Pacific games. That's a lot though 
I think Stowers can win 15 golds 

If I had to pick the most impressive performance in archery at the European Games 2019, it has to be that female commentator in the Olympic Channel... 
Throughout the matches she kept saying about the archers' hobbies, favourite movies and in between she used to shout " Bhum Bhum 10" when an archer shot 10.
  

Second medal assured for Luxembourg. 
Gilles Sywert qualifies for final in archery men's compound

Indeed. There is no better prize for a lifetime effort than becoming an Olympian in mixed team shooting competition.

Not really a fan of 2 day wrestling event per category... 
It was better to have all matches in 1 weight in 1 day, just for a match or two have to wait sometimes. 

Hoping for a  vs  final 
If Monaco gets the Olympic quota they'll become the 100th nation to qualify for Tokyo 2020.

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

India all set for first ever global handball championship with the IHF Emerging Nations Cup in Tbilisi. First time that we are participating in this. China, Cuba and Bulgaria are teams to watch out for. India are the 2nd lowest ranked side after Nigeria and will start against Azerbaijan in Group A clash followed by Great Britain the following day. 

ICC just wants to ensure that all top teams play each other. The so-called minnows have improved a lot in last decade or so. ICC doesn't want a repeat of 2007 WC, where group stages was followed by Super 6 and what was supposed to be Super 6 match between India and Pakistan turned out to be match between Bangladesh and Ireland. India-Pakistan, India-Australia, etc. these are the matches which generate maximum buzz and revenue for ICC. ICC wants to ensure these matches instead of focusing on promoting cricket in newer countries. 
 
I would personally prefer a tournament of 16 teams. 2 groups of 8 teams with top 4 from each group qualifying for QF.
