World Athletics World Athletics Championship Shotput M: Tajinder Toor ( Group B) Automatic qualification 20.90m. -. 23.10 IST 1500m M : Jinson Johnson (Heat 2) - 0.40

Yes PB must be appreciated

She qualified as Asian champ by winning gold at Asian Athletics Championship

participated in the last edition. Maybe if you say second most populous country. But being the second most populous country thrust into poverty with no basic life amenities is more important. Sports doesn't form a priority when putting food to the tables and growing a depleted nation is considered. Add to that a nation which is democratic in nature excluding 5-6 yrs having 30 or more individual power centers known as stated. Also the fact that India doesn't allow dual citizenship, hence not buying any athletes from outside or not allowing Indian origin athletes to compete without citizenship. Comparing India and Pakistan is a joke. If you have to compare them you have to do it in Asian perspective. India has always been improving in most of the sports in contrast Pakistan is facing major problems financially.

Ok I missed that I guess

According to what I have heard Avinash created a NR after a obstruction. So if he hadnt had that obstruction may be he could have bettered it.

Annu Rani finished 8th with 61.12

Today is rest day for Indian team in world championship

Guys anywhere I can watch 3000 m steeplechase replay?

I think hosting it is a burden on them and it requires a lot of infrastructure. is having its own problem. is not politically stable to host it. May not be interested. hosting is not an option as most of the countries will be apprehensive about sending the team to the country. We all know why is not hosting.

It is the only neutral venue available

Yeah pretty much if we post a timing bin the final

Yeah our heat is relatively easier

I don't think so. We are way behind. Our best pair is ranked 25. India has 51 points but the last pair qualifying at the moment have 183 points. This is according to the August 30 ranking. Next update is on October 1

Are you talking about winter Olympics in Sochi?

I don't know about it Isnt WADA suspension are applicable only for international competition?

They had expressed their desire to participate in World.championship maybe a.month ago. IWF had blatantly refused them. They are trying to secure permission for SEA championship but i doubt they will approve. If Thailand seeks to re enter IWF may have to keep them in suspension

Welcome to totallympics

Thailand had a change of heart but IWF refused to allow them. IWF has not imposed a suspension on them only because they self imposed suspension. If they change their position Iwf will have to suspend them.
