And so do the men!!! Our contingent increases by 8 now. We still have a chance for qualifying for mixed team if we get top 2 timings among non qualified nations. There is Asian Relays later this month https://www.asianathletics.com/events/asian-relays/

US transit visa is required for foreign nationals except for Canada and Bermuda citizens, if the flight has a layover at US. This is required even if the person is not intending to leave the airport.

Officially we add 7 more athletes as Badminton qualification ends today. So the players who qualify are Men's Singles: HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen Women's Singles: PV Sindhu Men's Doubles: Chirag Shetty / Satwiksairaj Rankireddy Women's Doubles: Ashwini Ponnappa / Tanisha Crasto

All depends on Athletics now. Key tournaments coming up next like World Relays and Indian Grand Prix 1

No quota in Fencing . But Taniksha came close and is for the future. Hope Fencing Association gives more exposure in next cycle

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 https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-race-walking-team-championshi/antalya-24/live/7199325/30261/46704/results#

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

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!!

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
