Huge qualification for . Qualified in sailing for first time since 2008, and first time qualified in more than 1 event

Top 10 boats participate in medal and points earned are double the rank. For example a sailor finishing in 3rd earns 6 points. The sailor with least accumulated points wins

But Anjum Moudgil was going to participate in 50m Rifle 3 positions anyway because she had MQS. We could have traded Chinki's quota for Shotgun

Why aren't North Koreans participating in any sports events, even Olympic qualification events

We should target a contingent size of 135 in 2024 and 150 in 2028. That would mean more participation in potential sports like Swimming, Rowing, Weightlifting; while try 1-2 qualification in new sports like Fencing, Sailing and Cycling. Team sports qualification other than Hockey doesn't look likely in the near horizon

With respect to Sailing, is it just one case or is it systematic. Because the Indian sailors in other events are quite good with likes of Nethra Kumanan, Harshita Tomar and Vishnu Saravanan.

Why do you want no one to qualify? There was some infighting among the sailors with respect to participation in 49er FX https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/other/2021/mar/23/varsha-puts-oly-dreams-on-hold-to-coach-sailor-2280276.html

With the Indian Grand Prix and Federation Cup providing some qualifications and vital ranking, what competitions are athletes looking now especially the likes of Hima Das, Jinson Johnson, Vismaya, Men and women 4x400 m relay, Women 4x100 m relay (they are in 19th rank surprisingly) etc. Is everyone targeting the National Athletics Championship starting from 25 June, which is inside the qualifying period

With Saina winning to move to quarterfinals and Ashwini-Sikki pair already there due to withdrawal they will improve their points tally and ranking. Saina will not face a seed until the semis so it's s golden opportunity yo earn points

Interestingly Sathiyan had played against Rameez Muhammad in 2018 Commonwealth Games and won easily by 4-0 https://results.gc2018.com/en/table-tennis/results-men-s-singles-r32-001600-.htm

5 quotas for each Singles event and one quotas for Mixed Doubles.

It's a mere formality I know, but in my opinion Sharath Kamal is taking too casually as mentioned in below article. https://www.sportskeeda.com/table-tennis/tokyo-olympics-sharath-kamal-confident-well

Technically it isn't as a player named Rameez Muhammad is also participating, so it will be a round robin between 3 paddlers

With Suthasini Suwettabut qualifying via World Singles Qualification Tournament, it also nearly confirms 2 quotas for India in Women's Singles. So unless if the other girl doesn't qualify from Southeast Asia, which is highly unlikely, India gets 2 quotas

Muralist Sreeshankar qualifies in Long Jump https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/stories/news/detail/indian-athletics-tokyo-olympics-qualify-murali-sreeshankar-long-jump-fed-cup/

Thanks for the info. I thought points were cumulative. Then can we see which 10 results are accounting for the points. Does Kidambi, Saina, Ashwini-Sikki pair, Satwik-Ashwini have realistic chances of qualifying. Satwik-Ashwini have just played 10 tournaments so if they have decent results they can climb the rankings

Can anyone help me in understanding Badminton Rankings for Olympics. Those players who were eliminated in first round of Swiss Open didn't receive any ranking points and points in Week 10 (9 Mar 2021) is same as in Week 18 (28 April 2020)

I meant 2 overall per Singles event, either male or female. So since Canada already qualified 1 player for both genders then can only qualify 1 more per gender

Any website to follow live scoring and watch live matches of the tournament. ITTF website isn't giving live updates

A maximum of two players per NOC can qualify overall, so countries who already qualified 1 player can only qualify 1 more player

Wikipedia says that Ankita Raina qualified in Women's Singles on basis of her bronze medal in 2018 Asian Games. The two finalists Wang Qiang (rank 35) and Zhang Shuai (rank 38) are already within Direct Qualification places, and hence won't need the ITF places. I read the qualification document which says "Continental Qualification – the following athletes will qualify for an ITF Place provided his/her ranking is within the top 300 on the Singles Rankings of 7 June 2021 and provided the quota for the athlete’s NOC has not already been filled via Direct Acceptance." Can anyone confirm this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification
