Indian audience seems to be targeted by the IOC. The Olympic website was providing India specific news and updates and also had a language option of Hindi. Even in social media like Youtube and Twitter, a lot of India specific and Hindi language content was produced.
Coming to cricket, I think ICC also believes 2032 is more realistic but want to make the groundwork by then. Australia as a host makes more sense with iconic stadiums like MCG, SCG, Adelaide Oval and Gabba

Wrestling:
 
Even if Vinesh failed to win a medal at the Olympics, the coveted metal ware entered Phogat family through the arms of son in law Bajrang Punia. Never knew Bajrang Punia is the husband of Sangeeta Phogat, the youngest of the Phogat sisters.
 
 

Congrats on India's best ever Olympics!

World No 1 Nelly Korda is comfortably ahead after a superb -9 par in Round 2 and should win the gold. Aditi Ashok has 2 shot lead but has players like World No 11 Lydia Ko trailing her. I hope she nerves of steel in Round 4.
I thought with 2 bogeys Round 3 would come back to bite her like in Rio but she held on.  Fingers crossed!!

First semi-final since 1980!!

Eg Carolina Marin was injured but her seeded place didn't go to the next Spanish player Clara Azurmendi though but she qualified based on her own rankings. 
So if Praneeth wouldn't have gone to Tokyo then Kidambi would have taken his place but unseeded 

Koreans are beatable in individual competition. They have never been 1-2-3 in any Olympics as far as I know. Even in Rio, Kim Woo Jin set world record in ranking round but lost in round of 32.
If they were as dominant as Chinese in table tennis, then I don't think maximum 3 archers would be allowed in individual rounds

Well played Misha Zilberman too

Hi just came to say congratulations for a well deserved medal, well done and good luck ?? 

For Mixed Doubles and Teams, Rank 1-8 are seeded and rest and unseeded.

No change in Men's 
No change in Men's 400m relay as the timing is worse than the previous timing. In Women's 100m relay they jumped from 22 to 20 but need to beat the timing 43.05 of Nigeria 

There were 7 individual quotas available. Countries not qualifying in teams can only qualify a maximum of one archer

Why can't chess or Cue Sports be in the Olympics, they are popular throughout the globe

I read there was no safety pin system which contributed to the accident. The horse tragically broke his neck after hitting the fence. 
I don't understand equestrian much but aren't there safety measures in these events

The     2020 Olympic Wikipedia pages have been changed including the female gymnast in the respective country's contingent. Perhaps all Asian NOCs will stake a claim
