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

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

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

Yup I missed that, then gets the quota

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.

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 - CC @Roamingrover86

Entry list and Schedule for Asian Sprint Canoe Qualifiers starting on 18th April https://sites.google.com/canoedog.com/asiacanoe24/schedules?authuser=0

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

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

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

Entries for Asian & Oceania Continental Qualification Regatta starting 19 April Single Sculls - Balraj Panwar Lightweight Double Sculls - Arjun Lal Jat / Arvind Singh If Asian Games 2022 results are replicated, we shall qualify in both Single Sculls and Lightweight Double Sculls

Quota no 20 in Shooting and overall 59 quotas as Palak Gulia wins quota in 10m Air Pistol!!

Improving sports infrastructure is part of BJP's manifesto

With 2024 General Elections around the corner in India, the ruling party BJP put bidding for 2036 Olympics as one of its points in its manifesto

Anyone can beat pair of Sathiyan-Batra 😕

Helps a bit to qualify team via rankings

Actually if it would have been any other time, India would have jumped at the opportunity of being the host; but India now is focusing on hosting the 2030 Youth Olympics and 2036 Summer Olympics. and the proposed host city is Ahmedabad where a new sports complex is being built. Even still, if the proposed host city would have been Delhi, host city of 2010 Commonwealth Games, where there is existing sports infrastructure, then most probably India would have opted for hosting the CW Games

South Asia's fastest man Yupun Abeykoon has been injured and hasn't participated in over a year but he can qualify in 100m. I missed Nadeesha Ramanayake in Women's 400m who is 49th ranked while 48 quotas are on offer..2022 Asian Games gold medalist Tharushi Karunaratne is not in rankings list yet

can qualify in following sports 1 - Viren Nettasinghe in Badminton Men's Singles 2 - Gayanthika Argitala Women's 800m 3 - Dilhani Lekamge Women's Javelin (qualified by rankings) 4 - Men's and Women's Singles Table Tennis

Depends on sport to sport For more information - https://extranet.worldarchery.sport/documents/index.php/?doc=6417&inline=1
