I know top 8 ................... equivalent to finals in other event but they call it qualification 2 or Quarterfinals if you prefer in this event ...................

ISSF site !!

yes !!!!!!!! both Indian Teams in MIX RIFLE reach the finals ....................The mixed events seems to be where we are doing the very best

how come IRAN did not send rowers to the worlds or did I misread this

A poor performance by the Judo team .... the only person to win a bout was avtar singh in the 100 Kgs ........... and he was a bit unlucky to meet Jorge of portugal in the next round who went on to win the gold ....... This is a sport I believe we could do much better than we are doing it is a low cost sport like wrestling or boxing

is this the under 17 contest

IN SINGLE SCULLS ( 5 PLACES AT THE ASIANS ) the countries which did better than us in order at the world champs KAZ UZB KOR THAI IRA has very good rowers in Mens Single and did not participate at the worlds , they will surely particicipate in the asians , unless the Indians improve we will not have a singe sculls quota as only the top 5 get quotas ( china cannot particpate of course at the asians ) IN DOUBLE SCULLS ( 3 QUOTA PLACES IN ASIANS ) on the other hand in the lightweight double sculls the countries which did better than us were CHN , JAP, HKG ,.,..... CHN cannot particicpate so we could be in the third place unless IRA or KAZ or KOR particicpate and they have a better team so we have some chance in the DOUBLE and less chance in SINGLES there is a good chance based on the performance we had this world rowing we may not have a single qualifier for rowing , qualification in both events looks highly unlikely

but china did not participate in single sculls ........ so we are 5th without china and Iran will 100% be btter than us so we will be at 6th unless we do a lot better than we did here

Fairly disastrous performance in rowing we finsihed in 25-35 range in all the events .....we used be occassionally in the 12-18 or 18-24 range but tis time nothing ......... looking towards the asian qualifiers - In single sculls we finished 5th amongst asian countries at the worlds ( there are 5 slots at the asian regattta ) but with iran not participating here .... we are effectively 6th In the lightweight mens pair we finished 4th in Asian nations and we may not have a berth as there are 3 berthsat the asians ...........but china cannot participate in the asians , so we are effectively third we do have a chance , but its going to be tough

Indian Wrestling Team ( I have marked olympic weight categories in Bold ) - I would be interested to see if our number of medals goes up in general and of course the quota sheet My predications - Bajrang , deepak and Sumit ( two of these three would get a quota ) Bajrang , Rahul , deepak ( two of these three will get a medal ) Freestyle wrestling Weight Category Name 57 Kg. Ravi Kumar 61 Kg. Rahul Aware 65 Kg. Bajrang 70 Kg. Karan 74 Kg. Sushil Kumar 79 Kg. Veer Dev Gulia / Jitender 86 Kg. Deepak Punia 92 Kg. Parveen 97 Kg. Mausam Khatri 125 kg.

Really happy for Pak ...... also korea to some extebt reduces competition at the asian qualifiers

any news thru facebook / twitter etc

for a sport called Rapid this event results are really slow ... yes would like khalil to qualify it would be a big thing fgr Pak

Yes forgot it has to be same gender ........ but yes let us wait to win a 25m womens quota ....... is not going to be that easy - chinki or annu are not in great form

I personally do not feel this is very likely ..... Anjum is currently world number 2 in 10 m air rifle why would you swap her 10m air rifle quota away ...... i think if we get a 25M quota in the asians we would swap it for 1) the 10m air rifle mens second quota just in case we do not get this in the asians - this will allow us to field our second mixed rifle team or 2) fill in the second rapid fire 25 m place for anish / arpit / adarsh if any of them do not make it or 3) select a shotgun shooter / 3 position missed quota in rifle

But in my view I was so very impressed with esha in the 10m MQS ..... she is my city girl and beat Manu in the nationals ...... she is just 14 years in her first senior WC. and shot a magnificent 577 ????

Will be rooting for China and Korea ?..... makes our asia qualifier easier

I agree with u yash is likely to be far better , he is 15 and likely to improve with focus and i am sure if he gets a quota seat he will do better than deepak ( deepak seems to be a choker ) .... i am still not sure why hriday hazarika is not shooting in 10 m as i think he is as good at divyansh...... i am following esha closely she is sure to be the next superstar ..... she will be shooting in MQS at this world cup i think so i want to see her results .......

Deepak is a reasonably steady shooter and reasonably experienced but he is not a great finisher he narrowly missed qualification in the world champs where he finished 6th but sampson is not a great final shooter so may be interesting to see who closes the two quota places between the three

Yes top 4 performance by jani

Isreal already qualified from the european games ..... so SVk vs Aus Vs India ..... i feel sad for yash who narrowly missed qualification finishing 9th i think .... he is just 15 and in his first major tournament..... but his time will come

In principle we have effectively 4 more qualifiers one each in mixed pistol and rifle and manu in 25 and anjum in 50 as they are in the best two we have.... i feel one more qualifier in 10 m rifle looks possible and one more in 10m pistol women and also almost surely in 25 m rapid ..... in shotgun at the asian we can have 1-2 qualifiers ...... so i am hoping 5-6 more qualifiers a

Normally the cut off is between 628 and 627 ...... i feel he would easily make it probably may be even top 4

Well this group of young Indian atheletes are true world beaters ..... there are quite a few of them still at 15-16 years and brilliant .... there a couple in shotgun ..... manisha keer , lakshya etc but they are not moving in the same way as the pistol crowd ...... shotgun still requires more equipment and a more expensive kit so the infra is still not great but with the popularity of shooting going up i am sure will happen..... did help that indias best trap shooter became our sports minister

Today excited to see what yash would do in the 10m air rifle ( he is brilliant but only 15 years shooting for the first time in seniors ) , deepak is a proven shooter so really hoping we get a quota in 10 m rifle .... crucial for our mixed also
