India Archery - 2: Should easily 1 individual per gender and even in mixed team after qualification. Team performance is too inconsistent to predict whether team shall qualify, although both teams are within top 10 in current Archery rankings Athletics - 20 to 25: Men and women 4 x 400 m relay teams, male triple jumpers and jumpers, Tokyo gold medalist Neeraj Chopra + one javelin thrower, 2-3 race walkers both genders, hope to see National Record holder in 1500m Harmilian Bains in action Badminton - 7: Men's Singles - Hopefully two of Lakshya Sen, HS Pronnoy and Srikanth Kidambi can be consistent to be ranked in top 16 Women's Singles - Just PV Sindhu, all young and upcming singles' performances have been very underwhelming Men's Doubles - Satwik and Chirag pair Women's Doubles - Upcoming pair of Treesa Jolly-Gopichand can step up and good enough to qualify Mixed Doubles - No qualification likely, perhaps pair of Ishaan-Tanisha can do a miracle Basketball - 0 Boxing - 4 in women 5 in men: World and Commonwealth Champion Nikhat Zareen should qualify.

Any qualification in shotgun is a bonus Skateboarding - 0 Sport climbing - 0 Surfing - 0 Swimming - 2: One male swimmer ma qualify via timing and female swimmer to qualify via Universality quota Other Aquatics - 0 Table Tennis - 4: Two per gender should qualify with one quota per gender guaranteed as Asia allots one of its quota to South Asia. Historic qualification will be team qualification which both teams are capable of Taekwondo - 0 Tennis - 0 Triathlon - 0 Volleyball - 0 Weightlifting - 1: Tokyo silver medalist and former World Champion Mirabai Chanu's weight category 49kg was retained and she remains the best weightlifter after the Chinese. 2018 Youth Olympics gold medalist Jeremy Lalrinnunga's weight category 67kg got axed and has to move to 73kg, with reduced quotas he really needs to work hard to qualify Wrestling - 7: same crop of wrestlers like Ravi Dahiya, Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat should qualify again. None in Grec-Roman Total: Should range between 110-115. India has hit a ceiling with respect to contingent size (117 in Rio, 126 in Tokyo).

No, 'Narendra Modi Stadium' is built specifically for Cricket so its unlikely to have an Athletics Track. During National Games, Athletics were held in IIT Gandhinagar's campus (Engineering College). However, construction for a sports complex called 'Sardar Patel Sports Enclave' was announced in 2021. It shall have stadiums for football, hockey, athletics, aquatics, indoor sports like basketball and volleyball. https://www.deshgujarat.com/2021/02/24/coming-up-a-236-acre-sardar-patel-sports-enclave-the-sports-capital-of-india-at-motera-in-gujarat/

India's relationship with Russia dates back to Indian Independence times. Our first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru was a socialist and became a fan of Soviet central planning policies and heavy industrialization which he implemented in India too. Although Nehru didn't wish to be in any bloc he started the Non-Aligned Movement. But India's major trading partner was Soviet Union while Pakistan joined the US led bloc and was major non-NATO ally and part of CENTO. During 1971 war, US sent naval task force to assist Pakistan but were stopped by Soviet submarines which helped India to win the war. https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/when-russia-stunned-us-uk-naval-forces-helped-india-win-1971-war-563248.html During recent times, India has to stand alone against skirmishes by Pakistan and notably China. India distrusts US because of its support to Pakistan with IMF loans and weapons. Additionally, Ukraine had opposed India's nuclear test in 1998, and also has asked for UN intervention on the Kashmir issue when it clearly became a bilateral issue as per Simla Pact. Also, Soviet Union and then Russia has vetoed many resolutions in favour of India. With regards to China, Indian public clearly sees her as a rival because of China's support of Pakistan and constant needling in Doklam and Ladakh

Australia will definitely make a case for cricket in 2032. They by far are the best team in women's cricket and among the top 3 in men's cricket. Venues and scheduling won't be an issue as nearby cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide have Test grounds too. Feasible scenario to be 8 team tournament for both men and women. Lastly why is it necessary to have the medal matches at Brisbane only
