Sajan has shown great promise in breaking his national record twice here in 200 and also 50 so hope with some further movement upwards he hits the OQT in one of the three backstroke events

cannot make out symbols

good effort by Bhullar and aditi

But that really helps ?..... actually for some reason i find the pistol pairs appealing but do not find the rifle pairs as appealing ?

Just out of curiosity ..... china only 3 ...... what about countries like N Korea , taiwan, indonesia ?

good analysis ......why not sonia lather or simranjit kaur for the 60 Kgs........ I think they would be a good bet ....I think sarita though fiery is not the best bet ......... others are fine though I think lovlina is a brave boxer and possibly has an edge over . Basumatry ...... sonia chahal is the obvious bet for 54-57, pooja and mary kom are automatic choices for me

That is good news ............................ We should see Indian women in all weight categories as the number of quotas seats have increased from 36 to 100 ...

not clear MJT ? ..... WJT ?

The 3:50 was such an abnormality ...... tactics are strange

thanks available on Sony ESPN in India

when does the matches start today .......

True goid effort

Truly this team always misses out because lack of mental strength at key moments in the olympic cycle ......................... they need to get mental training ....................... not having a good association is showing in their performance

Excited to finally see Manisha , Vivaan , Areeba , Anantjeet and kartiki in seniors for the first time ...... will we see some medals through them ...... excited to find out

England really dominated....... but i feel they are getting hand picked pitches

Good information....... could you add race walkers also

india doing well to get SA out for 227

I thinking they are scared of any body doping.....,. So i think they are reducing no of pax to bare min. And also not sending any one unless absolutely necessary.., the rules are if three dopers in qualifying year and you are out of olympics for weightlifting

Nice ...... do you have full results

I generally would support SRI, PAK, NEP and BHU because they are neighbours and if they improve their standards we would have better competition in llocal contests, and also bring more people into sport viewage in our country ........................... I personally like Iran and Thailand and support them , they are generally around our level at the asian games .......... so would not support Jap , Kor or china as they are the super dogs at the asian level........... Love Kenyan runners especially Rudisha so would support them , have a soft spot for Cuba and would support them in general ................ and possibly Brazil and South Africa again similar nations to India on the world stage ................ Also Egypt, Tunisia , Algeria and other African countries in general underdogs to Europe and USA but superb talent in some places

Dont forget mixed doubles ....... In fact in this event we have a good chance to reach quarters I think ..............................

Overall analysis of shooting places as of now ....... shooting is likely to be one of Indias most likely medal hopes ....... quick analysis only of quota places Pistol 10M for Men - Saurabh and Abhishek already won quota places , Shahzar is also a great shooter ...... so while saurabh stands apart form the rest ....... shahzar may challenge abhisjek for the quota if the NRAI holds a shoot off .... India has a great team with 3 shooters in top 15 and saurabh unoffically number one ( according to me as he is second without participating at the world championships ) 25M rapid fire - India has won no quota places but with china already qualifying 2 shooters and 4 quota places in the Asian, also , I believe we should have at least one qualifier if not two - Most like Anish or Adarsh - hopefully one at the last world cup and one at the asian competition or two at the asian qualification - competition will be from korea ( they have a couple of really good shooters here ) , pak and vietnam but I think 2 is really possible . Anish is currently the 2nd highest ranked asian amongst the unqualified shooters 10M pistol for women - With Manu qualifying, yeshashwini or heena may get one quota place but may not be that easy as the competition at the asian level is tough ( though china and south korea have maxed out ) but thailand , mongolia, singapore all have good shooters , I am hoping for One as even in the mixed pairs we should have our second pair ( 5 other asians ahead of yeshashwini ) 25M pistol for women - with Rahi qualifying and Manu doing well in this event ( qualifying in 10m ) , I do not see chinki really qualifying , this event is truly open with china still only qualifying one , korea qualifying only none , Mongolia and thailand strong in this event and not having any qualifyers yet the asian event is going to really strong and tough 10M mixed pair - obviously in Saurabh and Manu we have a world number one team but going forward I feel we would have a second Pair SO I think we may have 7 quotas in shooting Pistol ........also have 2 pairs in the tokyo , this will bring our team to a really strong 10 shooters participating in all 5 events as Manu would be shooting in two events Rifle 50 M three positions Men - Currently our shooters doing badly ( highest Indian Parul is 48th in the world ) .... maybe they need to induct a couple of youngsters likeSheoran or Kusale but the asian standard is also very weak ( china already has 2 quota places ) so I feel we may get one at the asian championship 10M air rifle for men - Divyansh panwar qualifying is great , also deepak and Ravi are doing well and at asia they may induct Hriday Hazarika I feel and I am confident we will get our second quota the highest ranked Asian who is unqualified and probably qualify 10M air rifle for women - Here we have plethora of riches with anjum and apurivi ranked 1 and 2 in the world (already qualified ) and velaranivel is also knocking on the door of the top 10 50 M 3 position for women - i believe we have a good chance to have either sunidhi or gayatri to qualify , and anjum would be the second shooter here In pairs we will have two pairs and I believe both teams are strong .......... Total quotas may be 6 , but we will have most likely two pairs and Anjum shooting in the 3 positions we should have I feel 9 strong shooters in the 5 Rifle events shotgun Trap _ I think Kyanan would defintely qualify skeet _ i think either mairaj , shiraz should qualify I think we may get one women in either trap or skeet if we are lucky ......Possibly Ganemat and I am wondering where is manisha keer I think we have 3 athletes competing in the 5 events

True.....hope they can keep up this form into next year...... saurabh seems the key ...... as he is regularly winning 2 golds and shooting world records so regularly

What a Great effort by the brilliant but mercurial Manu Bhakker ...... Just yesterday she melted down in the 25 M final in such a heartbreaking way ...... was second and looked sure to get a quota place , then shot 6 blanks to get knocked down to 4th and just out of a quota place ...... But today she held her own to win ........ great effort , great poise ........ She is such an integral part of Indias olympic dream , in both 10m pistol and 25m pistol and also combining with the phenomenal Saurabh in the mixed pairs ( 2 gold this year already in world cups ) ....... so this was the result I was really hoping for
