Grabs a team quota by qualifying for SF in Women’s Team event.

-> 8-10 medals & possibly 1-2 Golds . This is a very optimistic prediction, for us to reach that number a lot has to go right especially in precision sports like Shooting & Archery where anything can happen on a given day. Other sports which might contribute includes Badminton, Athletics, Boxing & Wrestling . Hockey & weightlifting too. It could all go wrong like Rio & we might end up with 2-4 medals & 0 golds. Hoping for a successful Olympics

Sumit Nagal wins the Heilbronn Challenger in Germany. With this win, he is almost assured of qualification for Olympics. The official list will be out in next few days.

Sumit Nagal wins the Challenger tournament in Heilbronn, Germany. So, does that mean he qualifies for Olympics outright without waiting for further withdrawals??

With the General elections done, no single party got majority. Incumbent PM Narendra Modi’s party emerged as the single largest party with 240 MPs well short of the 272 majority mark. There was a pre poll alliance with other parties and together they achieved 292 seats. Narendra Modi will form a coalition government with other small parties & will take oath today as the PM of for his 3rd consecutive term. The result for this general election is very promising for our country, as now we will have a strong opposition to push the government & also we will maintain some stability with Modi take charge for his 3rd consecutive term & pushing through important reforms & foreign policies.

World cup winner & multiple champions league winning midfielder Toni Kroos has announced his retirement from Football after the Euros this summer. Top player with amazing ability . Amongst his many achievements his goal against Sweden in 2018 WC will forever be in my memory. Tschuss Toni . Happy retirement.

Is it true he had a farsi nickname which translates to “ butcher of Iran” ? As he passed orders to execute numerous civilians.

Final Olympic Quota Men’s Freestyle 57 Kg : 65 Kg : 74 Kg : 86 Kg: 97 Kg : 125 Kg:

I was furious watching that bout. But these are our young wrestlers they will learn from these mistakes. Our men’s team is undergoing a major overhaul in most categories. We need to stick with these talented youngsters. Same with Jaideep , i thought the chief coach got the tactics wrong , they planned to tire Demitras & then go for attack. Jaideep has excellent defensive skills but he needs to know when to attack & left it too late. Hopefully these mistakes will help us get our freestyle program in order for Asian games 2026 & LA 2028
