good result for Iran........ was expecting Iran to get a quota place here

I remember that bwf updates happen every thu .... so tomorrow we will see an update of the world champs in these score i think ?

tomorrow critical world cup Pistol / rifle starting

But if any of them qualify at the world presumably the next best team will be selected ? Q

Actually India doing ok in canoeing world championship ..... for a sport where we are nowhere..... was impressed with canoeing men where in C2 we finished in 12 , 13th in a couple of categories ...... sunil salam and gaurav tomar may do well at the asian level

Actually i would be a little more optimistic in both boxing and wrestling ...... i feel we have many other good wrestlers coming deepak punia in 86 ( ranked 4th ) , some of the women like pooja , divya and seema ( ranked 3rd ) are all prospects so 2-3 in wrestling and in boxing we currently have 3 world medalists in olympic category so i feel 2-4 in boxing is likely - mary , lovlina , neeraj , pooja etc are all good prospects and in men amit , gaurav , shiva etc so i feel 1+2 seems likely ..... but shooting 5 i feel is unlikely and i think 3-4 is likely apurvi and saurabh are the most likely ...... men’s badminton singles may be 0-1 ...... my most likely is 9 but with max of 15 ...... min of 6

I know very little about this sport but if India finishes in the top three in asia in any canoeing event do we have a chance to qualify - how is the continental qualifiers arranged

india at the rowing world champs 5 events Mens pairs Mens fours mens single sculls men lightweight single sculls mens lightweight double sculls Crews: 5 Athletes: 10

archery I hope we can be 3-3 ->6 ( the womens team qualifying in the qualifiers ) atheletics I think we may come down to around 10 men and 10 women which will keep us at around 20 , substantially less than last time Badminton I think 2 men and 2 women in singles and mens doubles and maybe mixed doubles taking us to 4-3 so less than last time Boxing 4-3 seems doable golf 2-1 ->3 hockey hopefully 16 +16 - the full 32 gymnastics I do think 1-1 can qualify judo 1-0 rowing possibly 2 in double sculls shooting another 6 so 13 swimming I am really hopeful we may have a qualifier in the A standard and Srihari seems to make that possible table tennis 2=2 tennis only mens double 2 weightlifting 1+1 wrestling 4 Free men , 3 free women , 2 Greco -> 6+3 ten add a couple of qualifiers in equestrian and fencing and may be yachting , so may be 115 approximately same as last time may be +- 4-5 so my best bet between 110-120

yes did see an overview but could not see the full details ....... reminds me of the wealth of data we have here at totallympics

How do you think the qualification numbers is likely to be this time.... last time we had a huge team of 117 ...... with atheletics being a bloated 34 ......... Sports Men Women Total Events Archery 1 3 4 3 Athletics 17 17 34 19 Badminton 3 4 7 4 Boxing 3 0 3 3 Field hockey 16 16 32 2 Golf 2 1 3 2 Gymnastics 0 1 1 5 Judo 1 0 1 1 Rowing 1 0 1 1 Shooting 9 3 12 11 Swimming 1 1 2 2 Table tennis 2 2 4 2 Tennis 2 2 4 3 Weightlifting 1 1 2 2 Wrestling 4 3 7 7 Total 63 54 117 67

Was trying to compare how we are doing compared to 2016 but could not locate the same thread ( though i remember seeing it for 2016 ) so where would i find world championship medalists for 2016 ?

What a performance by Sai .......

Nice pretty happy to see 2 indians in the medal rounds ...... both Sai and Sindhu were unexpected ...... Sai has been in form but to reach the semis was always unlikely and Sindhu is a big tournament player but to beat Tzu was going to be tough ..... her third world championship medal really hope she can make it gold

It is nice that we seem to be getting better at sports like fencing and cycling also

any one have a link to the video of this match ....... would love to see it

finished 5th in womens ( 11 pts behind the 3rd ranked americans ) despite 2 golds due to some inconsistant performance in the middle weights but sonam is surely going places she is a remarkable girl wrestler , reminds of the impressive deepak punia in the cadets

Sonam in womens won Indias first Gold .....her straight second gold in the cadets so she seems to be a name for the future ........ 1 finalist Ponam still there and 2 in the bronze - keeping the fingers crossed

Nice to see 2 indians in the semis

At the cadet world championships India finish 3rd at the end of the freestyle with 4 Bronzes Sonam is definately going to be a superstar of the future for India as she wins her second straight gold in the womens , I hope India finish in the top three in women as well

We seem to be in two finals in the womens category and alive in 3 bronze / repechage .....so hoping for a good finish from our women

India did well to finish 3rd ........ good achievement ........ Though no real superstars ..... I really thought anirudh did well in the 110 Kgs , may be coming up also is udit in 48 Kgs he looked very young .....

Good Day for India .........

active India presence in the world cadet wrestling

Completely agree , I have been watching wrestlers like deepak punia right from Cadet wrestling days and now he is now making waves , deepa came out of nowhere to almost win us a medal in Rio so let us focus and applaud athletes like Bhawani who are really making waves in a sport as unusual as fencing
