For archery is there a separate ranking list for Olympic qualification? Or is this the ranking that will be used: https://www.worldarchery.sport/rankings/world-ranking?category=Recurve Women&event=Team?

It's the same ranking but as on June 2024

Nethra Kumanan qualifies in ICLA6 after taking the ENP spot in Last Chance Regatta and finished 5th overall. 

Who is eligible for ENP in ILCa6, is it or

The Race to Paris miscalculation drama entered a new chapter with FFBaD now wants both French pairs qualified.

 

Not sure how they will deal with this, for sure 17 pairs will be causing problems in the group format. Even if they created a special preliminary match between both French pairs, an extra headache might happen if the Popovs win (since it will open an extra MS quota)

Whom do you feel is likely to take the Universality quotas. Will it be and  in men and  and  in women?

Team Finals

 

 

RM:  v     (  bronze)

Boosts  team rankings. I feel team qualification is almost confirmed; however the women would have to fight it out

Qualified for mixed race walking relay event as pair of Arshdeep Singh and Priyanka Goswami finished 18th in World Race walking relays. As quota goes to NOC we can choose to select upto 2 athletes extra in our contingent

In rowing the timings are not always the best indicators, as a lot of external factors affects the race. Weather, course , wind speed etc

Lets hope the rowing federation fills up forms for them to participate in the world qualifiers. If memory serves me right we didn’t send a team for last world qualifiers for Tokyo qualification. 

I am aware of that rowing timings are based on natural factors and thus there is no 'World record' similar to athletics as no two courses are the same. I only mentioned we have a chance of additional quota and there's no harm in participating in last qualifier

Balraj Panwar qualifies in M1X ( Singles Sculls) by taking one of the 5 quota places in the Asian continental qualifiers. 
This is our 1st Rowing quota & total contingent size now goes up to 70 in 12 sports 

Still have hope for LM2x qualification. In 2023 World Championships, the last spot was taken by  who did 6:26.49, then it was  with 6:28.49, then  (6:28.66),  (6:31.08). While pair of Arvind Singh and Arjun Lal Jat did 6:28.18 in Asian Games and 6:30.11 in Asian qualifiers, so we can assume they can do 6:30 again. 

Also  hasn't won a quota yet and is entering European qualifiers in LM2x event. 

FYI there are two quotas available for Final qualifiers

So fingers crossed!!

Looks difficult, will be great if we can equal/just exceed Tokyo numbers.

A lot depends on how many we qualify in Athletics & qualifying 4x400 men & 4x400 mixed is a must for that. 
If we can get a quota in Gymnastics at asian qualifiers then we will match the 18 sports for Tokyo. 

 

Potential Comparison 2024 vs 2020 

Archery : 4 vs 4, no addition

Athletics : 32 vs 26, +6

Badminton : 7 vs 4, +3

Boxing : 6 vs 9, -3

Equestrian : 1 vs 1, 0

Fencing : 2 vs 1, 1

Hockey : 16 vs 32 , -16

Golf : 4 vs 4 , 0

Gymnastics : 1 vs 1 , 0

Judo : 1 vs 1 , 0

Rowing : 3 vs 2, 1

Sailing : 2 vs 4, -2

Shooting : 21 vs 15 , 6

Swimming : 2 vs 3 , -1

Table Tennis : 6 vs 4 , 2

Tennis : 3 vs 3 , 0

Weightlifting : 1 vs 1 , 0

Wrestling : 8 vs 7 , 1

Total 120 vs 122, -2

Our contingent size might be higher than Tokyo even though women's hockey team isn't there

@hckošice the struggle is getting real. I wasn't joking when I said it won't be easy for us to win many medals. Wrestling, Hockey, Weightlifting, Out of form Sindhu, Far from convincing Lovlina= 7-6=1 Neeraj.

 

This coupled with endless federation issues, politics, highest unemployment rates in decade, lack of grassroot funding, poor anti doping awareness, and lack of public interest outside cricket.

 

Don't worry, ab ki baar 10 medal paar

Why did it take days to get to Bishkek?

Deepak Punia and Sujeet were training in Dagestan in first 2 weeks of April. Their flight to Bishkek was booked earlier via Dubai and they were to fly on 16th April. However, due to flood situation in Dubai they neither got flight nor any hotel to rest thus had to stay in the airport itself. Our rest of the wrestlers were in India and took a direct flight to Bishkek

Interesting I guess they changed the rules from 2021. And my initial point was about in the same gender not across both.

Yes, the rules were changed and now 2 boats from same NOC can qualify in continental qualifiers

4 minutes ago, intoronto said:

I'm confused too. I thought to qualify both boats in the same gender meant both needed to win?

Its not required to win the race, just within the qualifying spots is enough. In Africa,  finished third in Men's Single Sculls and first in Women's SIngle Sculls and qualified in both boats
Here's screenshot of the document

 Already has a quota in M1X 

Yup I missed that, then  gets the quota

33 minutes ago, Fly_like_a_don said:

If and only if we win both events. I think it'll be one boat only.

There is no need to win the race, In African qualifiers  finished third in Men's Single Sculls and first in Women's Single Sculls and qualified in both events.

I’m just saying you said it yourself. You can predict that India will qualify two boats here, but having it as an expectation while also saying that Hong Kong will be a contender is puzzling. 

If Results from 2022 Asian Games are simulated, then quotas look like this
Men's Single Sculls -

Men's Lightweight Double Sculls -

Women's Single Sculls -

Women's Lightweight Double Sculls -

Do you know if we are sending a team for sprint canoe asian Olympics qualifiers?

Why cant China participate here?

Nations who qualified more than 1 boat in World Championships can't take part in continental tournaments. China qualified 5 boats. Also Japan qualified 1 boat already so they can only qualify 1 boat in Asian qualification

Entries for Sailing Last Qualifying Tournament
Men
Windsurfer – IQFoil : Dayne Edgar Agnelo Coelho, Saurabh Kumar
Kite: Chitresh Tatha
Skiff – 49er: Prince Kurisinkal Noble / Manu Francis, Anand Thakur / Satyam Rangad

Women
Windsurfer – IQFoil : Ishwariya Ganesh, Katya Ida Coehlo

One-Person Dinghy – ILCA 6: Nethra Kumanan

Mixed

Two-person dinghy – 470: Ravindra Kumar Sharma / Shraddha Verma , Sudhanshu Shekhar / Uma Chouhan

Nacra 17: Siddeshwar Indar Doiphode / Ramya Saravanan

Realistically, only Nethra Kumanan is good enough to qualify. Surprisingly, pair of Varun Thakkar and KC Ganapathy who qualified in 2020 in Men's Skiff and participated in 2023 World Championships are not here

Its a shame we are not sending any women scullers, not for qualification purpose but for experience. We lack so much in our women’s rowing programme. 
Hopefully we can get the men’s quotas. 
Do you know if we are sending a team for sprint canoe asian Olympics qualifiers?

We did send a team for World championships. 

We are sending two women in Para rowing. I think we didn't want to qualify in women's rowing by 'accident'. Atleast we sent a women's team in Asian Games

We can only qualify in one boat per gender so either LW or Singles

The rules changed this time. Already nations like  qualified two boats in their respective continental tournaments. Additionally,  can't participate and  can qualify only 1 boat

Single Sculls - Balraj Panwar

Lightweight Double Sculls - Arjun Lal Jat / Arvind Singh
