  1. Archery Association of India (AAI) has been suspended by World Archery because of simultaneous elections. How will this affect our women's qualification chances? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/others/world-body-suspends-archery-association-of-india/articleshow/70585327.cms
  2. Can India qualify an rider in Equestrian especially in Eventing in which Asian Games silver medalist Fouaad Mirza seems to qualify. India can also qualify in Dressage where Shruti Vora is 3rd placed and 2 can qualify from Group G (South, South-east, East Asia and Oceania Zone) https://data.fei.org/Ranking/OGRankingsList.aspx
  3. BWF World Championships draw out https://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/tournament?id=F4F75B1C-E72D-4248-865F-8EC38C06F7CB
  4. Satwik/Chirag beat the reigning world champs to win the Thailand Open BTW who is the doubles coach???
  5. So is there any realistic chance of someone qualifying in Tennis
  6. I disagree with this view simply because we shouldn't measure our sporting pedigree by just medals but with progress as well. We being a developing nation are not able to invest much and with no accountability in various Sports Federations they have become political fiefdoms. Also public and media visibility is less other than for Cricket. But our mindset has changed in the last decade or so. Earlier, we were merely content with qualification; now we genuinely want to win the tournament.This feeling has seeped in our core sports like Cricket, Badminton, Hockey, Shooting, Wrestling and will slowly come in other sports as well. With each Olympics our contingent becomes larger but like a large nation like ours its still pathetic but at the same time slow and steady progress
  7. Neeraj Chopra starts training https://www.hindustantimes.com/other-sports/neeraj-chopra-at-the-tipping-point/story-ndi8QozB8w13PhFOCnrSLK.html
  8. It has been reported in our main newspaper https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/athletics/indias-mixed-relay-silver-at-asiad-set-to-be-upgraded-to-gold/articleshow/70299013.cms
  9. The FIE rankings have been updated taking into account the World Championships and Bhavani Devi jumps from 67th to 44th rank and as things stand she qualifies for Olympics as best individual fencer in Asia/Oceania ignoring team qualifications Rankings available here https://fie.org/athletes
  10. She moves into Round of 16 after winning a close match 15-14 Indian women to face 5th ranked China in women epee team
  11. How can Indians participate in Pacific Games
  12. After Day 1 of Laser Standard World Championship for Men, the three Indians currently stand at 84th, 101st and 133rd. This is a qualification event for Laser Standard event and five quota places in offer. An additional two places are available in Asian championships. https://2019worlds.laserjapan.org/standard/results/ South Korea and Malaysia have already qualified and hope is one of the Asian countries also qualify in this event increasing our chances for Asian championships. Currently Singaporean sailor is ranked 45 and Bahraini sailor is ranked 48 after Day1
  13. The qualification for Fencing is that top 4 ranked teams are guaranteed qualification and then one team from each continent - Africa, Asia/Oceania, Americas and Europe if they are top in 16. If no continental team is in top 16 then it goes to best ranked team not qualified. Currently as per team rankings, France, Russia, Italy, USA take the automatic top 4 spots, South Korea from Asia, Canada from Americas, Ukraine from Europe. But things get interesting here. Since there's no African team in top 16 thier quota place goes to China who are ranked 6th. This helps the Indian cause because it frees up the individual quota. Asia/Oceania will get three individual quotas not qualified in team. So according to individual rankings, Hong Kong (rank - 39), Iran (rank - 62), India (rank - 65) might get the quotas. The closest competitors are Kazakhstan (rank - 75), Singapore (rank - 84)
  14. Any latest updates on Neeraj Chopra's surgery. When is he expected to return? What are our hopes in qualification for Sailing. Since Japan gets the Host Nation quota and are decent in sailing in Asia which ensures better chances for others. We had bagged medals in Skiff 49er class in both genders and probably can qualify for 2020. Ironical that Sailing is so underdeveloped in India considering the first meeting of Asian Sailing Federation was in Mumbai
  15. Continental quota will go to the next placed team, if the team is within 20th rank But how many ranking points is each team expected to earn through the Pro League and Hockey Series
  16. India had suffered in 2016 as AIBA gave more preference to its professional boxing league - World Series of Boxing and AIBA Pro Boxing and hence only 3 could qualify. We can earn more quotas this time
  17. Now that qualification to Boxing events have been released with Asia/Oceania 4-6 quotas per weight class, is the Asian Boxing Championships a good parameter to judge how many Indians would qualify. India ended the event with 13 medals - two gold, four silver and seven bronze medals
  18. What shall be scoring system in boxing and from where shall the judges coming from
  19. What are our chances in qualification for swimming and diving events? Do we have any swimmers who can crack Olympic Selection Time (OST) or do we have to rely on Universality quotas as always
  20. What our chances in qualification in tennis. We don't have a player in the top 10 in doubles which guarantees qualification
  21. Women archers always seem to mess up. How can they lose to 21st ranked Belarus. Individual qualification won't be a problem though as there are 3 qualification tournaments. But the Archery Association of India elections mess must be cleared up, I think Narinder Batra must intervene
  22. Has anyone analysed India's chances in Table Tennis? I believe we can definitely secure two quota places for both Men's Singles and Women's Singles. What are our chances in Men's Team? According to me, we should qualify as we are currently 11th while 16 teams qualify. Achanta and especially Sathiyan's performances have been very consistent. What has happened to Soumyajit Ghosh; has his personal problems resolved or not? Coming to Women's Singles, barring Manika Batra I saw no other strong contender. We might sneak through a second quota in Women's Singles but don't see hopes in Womne's Team. Has Mouma Das retired?
