Good news !!!! but I was expecting the win .... I feel besides dangal and Kavinder ........................... he and ashish may be our best boxers

This is the slowest world championship I have ever seen , this will be the 4th day beginning and Indian Boxers have been in grand total of 1 bout

yes but ronaldo is still a junior so hopefully would do well

yes they weer strong in 2016-2017 , 5th in the olympics ........ but recently 4th in the continent ( beaten by Chile !!!! ) and then 14th in the world cup .......They have been terrible and had a horrible couple of years ( I hope their horrible run continues till the end of the year

i like our opponents ......belgium would have been tricky ..........

Look the problem as per me are that the atheletes/ teams were major hopes after 2018 have not improved at all , rather have detiorated ...... the best teams were the 4*400 relays , neeraj , hima , dharun , toor and arpinder and not one of them have improved....... the second rung of atheletes have improved

I think AIBA is a class apart and honestly I thought wrestling relatively clean ?

I really saw a turn around in badminton at the world champs ..... let us hope the atheletics people are able to turn things around especially in the relays and at least break the NR ...... I am so tired of stupid hype - India wins 5 golds ( in some pathetic competition ) , hima wins 5 gold medals in a row ( without coming below a pathetic 53 ) ..... what a waste of money - they spent 70 lakhs on this european tour of events

What a slow event for just 8 categories ...... they are taking their time ?

Phelps you are brilliant ...... ?..... thats just what i wanted to do and posted here by mistake

Is this my feeling but this event seems really too long for having just 8 categories and not even having the women here

Seriously do not see any hope of even a top 10 performance given current form ........ best bet may be dharun or 4*400 mixed to reach top 10 which may be best we can hope for ........... i hope a few of the others can beat their PB or maybe the NR

yes but this is a strong team ....... would be nice to see what some of the youngsters do

I think world boxing , world wrestling , world weightlifting and womens boxing in early oct are crucial ......... atheletics seems in a bad shape ...... no good results this year till date - neeraj injured and hima has been having back issues , the major improvements in the national records - i remember jinson - 1500 m., annu rani - jav , sable - 3000 sc and dharun - 400mh ..... i think only dharuns was in the top 20 this year so dharun and unless some miracle by javelin shivpal to improve pb but his recent throws have been pathetic .,,.... did the relay teams make it ?

yes fairly serious as they are testing out their boxers for the olympic qualifiers and this is the only major event where this can happen before that , just like India

https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/sport/others/welcome-to-the-worlds/articleshow/71042007.cms a nice analysis of all the boxers

Our Tokyo Prospects are mainly on 3 sports - Shooting , Boxing and Wrestling Shooting has seen a spectacular improvement in the last couple of years , so to boxing now let us see how they do Mens Boxing has been a bugbear for us - they are Good but not great - tend to have 4-5 Quarter finalists and then a spectacular fall - Just 0-1 in the semis and then no one in the Finals ( we have never won a gold or silver at the world champs ) , is it a defeatist attitude , poor last mile fine tuning or just that we are not an AIBA " favored " nation I never understood ............ So I am looking at this squad to do better ....... 1. The squad is a very new look squad with a lot of the usual boxers - Shiva , Manoj , Vikas etc not there , I think that is positive sign both from a selection angle and that there is new blood coming in 2. We have 3 seeded Boxers with Amit seeded second as the highest so that is again positive Hoping for at least 2 medals and hopefully one boxer in the finals

Indian Perspective for these games Our Tokyo Prospects are mainly on 3 sports - Shooting , Boxing and Wrestling Shooting has seen a spectacular improvement in the last couple of years , so to boxing now let us see how they do Mens Boxing has been a bugbear for us - they are Good but not great - tend to have 4-5 Quarter finalists and then a spectacular fall - Just 0-1 in the semis and then no one in the Finals ( we have never won a gold or silver at the world champs ) , is it a defeatist attitude , poor last mile fine tuning or just that we are not an AIBA " favored " nation I never understood ............

of these I am hoping for 1-2 medals best hopes must be Panghal , kavinder and Manish

I have given a detailed ranking analysis over 4 olympics .... quite interesting

I did a detailed analysis of world ranking positions by Indians In all major olympic sports ( Shooting , Wrestling , Atheletics , Boxing , Hockey , Archery , Judo , Gymnastics , TT , tennis , badminton , Taekwondo , Sailing , weightlifting ) and this is the results ) Beijing London Rio Tokyo top 100 Rankings 118 234 224 247 MEDAL slot ranking 3 4 3 14 Top 10 19 24 33 48 In 11-25 21 45 44 46 In 25-50 57 69 53 64 fifty plus 23 96 95 89 You can see that there is a Huge improvement in Medal slots from 3-4 to 14 and also a significant change in top 10 rankings by 50% increase , obviously nearly every medal will come from the 48 events where we are in top 10 or around there

Hockey or TT is unlikely ...... neeraj at hist best is still behind the germans and a couple of others , so needs to improve .... I think one more in boxing is possible and so is wrestling and sindhu performs well under pressure ........but you must remember that from these a couple may fail .....so +2-3 and then -2 to 3 , i feel if we do 10-12 I will be thrilled

nice results from the asian junior and cadet TT tournament ( two medals ) Junior Boys team finished 2nd ( losing to china ) but beating korea Junior girsl finished 7th cadet boys lost int he quarters payas jain in cadet boys finished with silver yashwini gorpade finished 6th in cadet girls

Surprising to see Italy not have a single qualifier in Trap at the end of the cycle .... how did De felippis manage to be ranked 2nd and not qualify....

A quick analysis of If we were to get medals at tokyo olympics as per world ranking in based on todays world ranking Shooting 10M Air pistol Men SILVER . Abhishek BRONZE Saurabh 10 M Air rifle Women GOLD Apurvi SILVER Anjum Mixed Rifle Team ( back of the envelope calculations - No offical ranking ) GOLD India A - Divyansh and Anjum BRONZE India B - Apurvi and Deepak Mixed Pistol Team GOLD - Saurabh and Manu Wrestling 50 Kg Women BRONZE - Seema 66 Kg Men GOLD - Bajrang Boxing 57 Kg Women Sonia - BRONZE Weightlifting BRONZE - Mirabai Chanu Total would be 4-2-4 Actually I would be extremely happy if we can do that
