Yes this is a great day for Indian wrestling.... Tomorrow is going to be very tough.... The Indian team is good we have vinesh in 53 but she is facing maya from Japan in the first round who has been her nemesis both in the world champs and last year's asians, so it will be tough..... Both anshu and sonam are good but really young and to face the kawai sisters ( world no 2 and 3 respectively) will really test them..... Gurshanpreet will need to do well and sakshi has a good chance to win a gold..... India had a chance to win the team gold I hope they can

Agree with you sunil is probably the better of the two : last year I think he had a great final in the Asian championship in 2018 against nouri.....very close bout ... Gurpreet though is currently doing better than sajan.... Defeated him handily at the national trials.... I am not sure why gurpreet was not here...

Just checked there is no final.... Just the round robin and she after winning all 4 has won...... Great performance defeated the Japanese ??

Brilliant start by Indian eves at Asian wrestling...... Nirmala(50), sarita( 59) divya(68) pinki (55) reach finals....... Nirmala and divya it will give valuable seeding for the Asian qualifiers later I

Hoping for great things from our eves..... I think this is a great team - divya, vinesh, sarita, sonam, anshu, etc ..... Also with china which is definitely a class team not there.... This is a chance for India to shine ...... Hoping for at least 6 medals and a couple of golds

Yes Gurpreet is red hot in 77 .... He won gold at the ranking series in Rome and is definitely our best GR wrestler...... Am hoping that he and Sunil can qualify in the qualifiers.....

Why is gurpreet not competing in the 77 kg GR...... He was a sure medallist......

Nice good news

I personally agree with the govt...... They should build the distributed sports infrastructure..... Spend money on khelo india and khelo university games...also increase the number of grassroot scholarships.. When they have 20 medal range they should bid.... But may take another 10-12 years.....

Tried to comment but after filling the details still doesnot accept submit... I think 404 error

... These were some of the highlight events - medals in the Junior World champs...... Also I think they have won several medals in the asian championship and Asia cup......... Also certain classification events in Europe How significant are these ..... Must admit to not following cycling closely

Well as per the UCI junior ranking they are number 1 in the rankings in both men and women kieren and sprint and team sprints . ... That's 6 out of the 12 events on the Olympic

How competitive are the juniors at the UCI ranking events..... I shocked to see Indians currently dominating the rankings in the kieren, sprint and team spirits in both men and women at the Junior levels....... Cycling is a sport where we have not even qualified for the Olympics for the last 30 years or so...... What does this mean ?

IMHO..... Can we say an Elite Athlete can and should make their own choice... If a women who has worked her heart out to be an elite sportsperson takes a choice to either have or not have a baby it should be their choice and frankly all of us should stay the heck out of it

Good to see he is back and in reasonable form

Good to know..... Any chance of olympic qualification...... 51 does not sound too bad

I don't know what has happened to the men..... They played pretty badly even against a side like Luxemburg..... For sathiyan to win so closely against even a 200 ranked player was shocking

This always seems to happen to us in team sports...... I remember our women archery team losing to belarus......

I feel the odds are reverse slovenia -30 , India -70 , hoping for a 3-1 victory

Seems sania has pulled out of aus open ?

So that is a bit of luck .... I presume there may be a shuffle if two players end playing each twice as per the order ?

Is there a restriction that the highest ranked player plays the highest ranked player and so forth.....

What's the format...... 3 singles and two doubles..... Any restrictions on singles players playing doubles

Well for me the big hope is that rohan boppana is able to improve his ranking and they are able to qualify in mixed.... That could be a long shot for a medal

Sania mirza...... ??
