In fact looking at the draw barring gaurav solanki who faces mirzazbeg of uzb ( world Championship gold medallist ) in the round of 16 all can win and win and qualify..... My best estimate 4 women / 4-5 men

Sadly ?? no news on the Asian qualifier still

All the rest are two wins away I think

In fact we currently have 5 just one win from qualifying women - lovlina, Pooja, Simranjit and Sakshi........ Men - Satish......

All indian boxers won on day 2 also..... Simranjit and Sakshi against 4th seed Thailand..... 4/4 for India till now

Which every other strong shooting country except India

Sudden jump of 15 new cases in India.... From 6 .......Turns out all were one group of tourists from Italy ....Also turns out another tourist from Italy was corona virus positive.. They have been quarantined on arrival.......so out of 21 cases in India 16 are Italian tourists.... .Are all the italians who have corona virus being given tickets to India .... ?

So does ashish kumar in 75 kgs.... Both win 5:0 ....

Good to see no cases from Italy they seem to have done a good job of capping new infections...... And with new infections falling in China...... I think it is Iran and South Korea which really need to work on capping fresh infections on a tough basis ..... I believe if they can prevent or reduce the rate we will be able to bring down carona virus as a whole.....

Well did watch the bouts today..... I thought they were reasonably fair.... Having the round count after each round helps reduce the issues, maybe they should go back to counting hits which will reduce the ambiguity.further ..... Boxing is my opinion the most opaque sport still..... You can watch the match swear the red boxer won and see the blue boxer being judged winner, I think this does not happen in any other sport, to a large extent you know the trend of points

Rakhimovs presidency has seen uzbek domination may be interesting to see how they do under hopefully open competition.... The boxing has been reasonably troublefree till now I'm

Yes new epicenter is now Iran and South korea

Good news it seems to be on the wane in China!! ...... But Korea it seems to be growing very fast......

Last time we had just 3 so surely, I feel we will get more than 8 ( which was the highest we got at London 2012 ) .... If not at this qualifiers but surely by the end of the world qualifiers.... I feel only naman in 91 and gaurav in 56 are facing very strong rivals in Amman, all the rest can do it... So I feel 8/9 now and possibly 1-2 at the world's......

Asian boxing qualifiers happening..... Thank god....... India has great chances..... The draws have been reasonably kind..... I feel vikas 69 , Amit 52 , manish 63 , satish 91+ should qualify , also ashish 75 has a good chance...... In women Mary 51 , lovlina69 , pooja 75 have great chance..... Hopefully one of sakshi / simranjit..... So my guess 4-5 /4 qualifiers.....

Currently with corona virus scare..... One if the few Asian events still on..... Brave of JOR to go ahead..... I feel with proper health checkups and quarantine sports teams can be allowed in..... Wonder what precautions JOR is taking

For a million dollars per year would even follow goat herding ?

Saddened to see a huge increase of cases of corona virus in Iran...... Already the economy if the country has been hit by the US embargo ........ now this ...... I knew that certain medicines were difficult to get earlier.... Not sure if they are able to get all the medical supplies they need......

Actually I am currently happy that india seems relatively safe..... Only 3 cases and all recovered....... I even read a news headline in the statesman,work" Indian dies after returning from caronavirus hit Malaysia and he has tested negative for carona." ... Weird non news headline

While I think the open border between oak and Iran is not a heavily trafficked border..... But Pakistan and china must be having a large number of visitors as china is heavily invested in infrastructure projects in Pakistan...... With still a huge number of new cases being reported in china, allowing flights between china and pak seems very stupid....... I predict pak could become the next new epicenter...

According to the latest directive by the Government of Kyrgyzstan, all the sporting events in the country have been postponed citing the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID 19). The new dates are yet to be released but the event will take place in April (according to the Iranian Wrestling Federation). Travel restrictions are in place in multiple Asian nations to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

Badminton would definitely be ahead of the last three and would add archery to the last three

I am hoping that out of these 11 in the Olympic category in the top 10 as well 12/13 ranked and then if we add gurpreet / sumit / whoever participates in 62 women as possibles...... We will have 14 possible qualifiers.... I think realistically we can get 10 into the Tokyo Olympics...... ( of course we have 4 so another 6-7 I feel is realistic

New ranking out in UWW... GR Sunil climbed 12 places to the fourth in the UWW World Rankings with 32 points. This higher ranking will play an important role at the Olympic seeding and help him avoid tough opponents if he makes it to the Tokyo 2020 Games Ashu, the 67kg Greco Roman bronze medallist, has also improved his world rankings. He is now placed seventh with a jump of 19 ranks. India 2/6 top 10 in Olympic category FS Both Rahul Aware and Tokyo-bound Deepak Punia have climbed to the second spot in 61kg and 86kg category respectively. Bajrang stays at 2nd , jitender 12th , satyawrat 12th ...... No rating in 125, 92 and 70... 3/6 top 3 in Olympic category, 2 in 12/13 position Women In women’s wrestling, while Anshu and Divya Kakran has moved up in the list with gold medal finishes, Vinesh Phogat has fallen a place lower now. Anshu and Divya are ranked seventh and sixth in 57kg and 68kg category respectively. Vinesh, however, has now moved to the third spot, losing her second position to Japan’s Mayu Mukaidu. Nirmala is also 6th ..... Pinki 10th We have no ranking in 62 and 76 ...... 4/6 top 10 in Olympic category

Not worried about the medal updation but since these events are earlier we know where we will be at the beginning of June even before the events start
