We have won more medals in this world championship than we have won in the last three put together...... it is not about medals alone it is about the quality of this team , let us just applaud this young shooters and revel in their performance ........................medals will happen if not now in the future

what a world championship it has been for India Till now ............. I am so impressed !!!!!..... India seems like it is entering the world A category of nations like CHN, USA, ITA etc ...... It is not just the quota places but the sheer depth of talent .............This team is so young and so bloody talented ........ I am not suprised that they are doing something wonderful .... this is the best performance by any Indian team in any world championship that I have seen forever........... can we KEEP IT UP and win something 10-20 medals which seems a very reasonable estimate based on the start Gold Silver Bronze Total 12 12 12 36 1CHN 2 3 1 6 1IND 2 3 1 6 3KOR 2 2 2 6 4RUS 2 1 2 5 5ITA 2 1 3 6KUW 1 1 2 7ESP 1 1 8CRO 1 1 2 8USA 1 1 2 10SVK 1 1 11GER 1 1 11UKR 1 1

Brilliant show by Virdhawal and Srihari ........ Swimming we are so far from olympic standard it is scary ....but I am hoping for a couple of swimmers to qualify for tokyo on time and not on universality..... probably it may be one of three Virdhawal , sajan srihari as sejwal seems to be aging

well great things were achieved today in the olympic qualification event .... two quotas today ....last world championship in the whole event we had one ... this time I predict minimum 4-5 which was my prediction before this event began

we have almost same number of medals of the last 3 world championship In the first two days of this one .... This team is phenomenal ............. I forsee this team getting us 3-5 medals at tokyo as I said earlier ....... and if any one is saying otherwise I will call them pessimistic

I think it is time for youngsters who have done well in youth games to be given a chance especially in women because the womens did not do well in commonwealth as well .... suprised by shiva and solanki especially ....manoj is aging and no longer great they need to drop him , mohammed is good but some where loses narrowly I do not know why ..... and high weights were not there ...... men were I think better than last time as they got the same medals and amits win was phenomenal , also the three higher weights were not there

Bro ...... final medal table ?????

Go Josh detailed medal chart like last time

I am very excited by the success of shooting programs ........ we have been shooting close to china in a couple of world cups and at the asian games recently ............Our commonwealth performance was awesome ............ The world championship would tell us exactly where we stand as a team - are finally reaching a level as a team where we claim true place amongst the top nations in this sport Analysis - 2014 World Champ medal count - ( BAND 1 ) -------- China 44, Russia 40 ( BAND 2 ) -------- Germany 25, Italy 25, US 17, SK -14 India - 2 Analysis - 2010 - World Champ medal count - ( BAND 1 ) -------- China 52, Russia 46 ( BAND 2 ) -------- Germany 21, Italy 15, US 24, SK -17 India - 3 If we need to be a band 2 nation at least we need to get between 15-20 medals ......the current team can do this I feel ( Am I optimistic - I am basing this on the junior world cups or asiads) or at least reach towards 6-10 medals ........ the start has been good

india has tons of nerds we can be good

yep i checked ...but still if for the last 4 world championships we have got a maximum of 2-3 medals ...including team and junior ... this time we start with 3 on day 1 that speaks something for our powess in this sport.......having it right next to asians will effect asian nation performances somewhat in the senior levels

but esports is there in the next asian games ....so interesting

wow looking at the medal chart just as of now and it looks unbeleievable ( junior medals but still ) Gold Silver Bronze Total 3 3 3 9 1IND 2 1 3 2CHN 1 1 1 3 3KOR 2 2 4RUS 1 1

Current medal chart at the world shooting championships Gold Silver Bronze Total 3 3 3 9 1IND 2 1 3 2CHN 1 1 1 3 3KOR 2 2 4RUS 1 1

India Starts with 2 medals in Juniors ...... India Leads medal chart .......... What a super start to the world championships ......... Sure of great things

we win like 2 medals in every one of them........ let us see how we do I predict that this side is the best I have ever seen and we will be getting at least 3 minimum and maximum 7

looking forward to seeing the olympic table i think it will be extremely close between us iran and uzbeks for 4th spot

India does well except in multi level events ... underwhelming at the commonwealth , underwhelming at the asians , underwhelming at the last olympics ...... I do not know what will it take them to actually play well ....................... this team break my heart always

very popular sport in asia ....just two medals mens and womens team ........

well Kurash and sambo features prominently so not a permanent class jump

Overall outstanding performance by India .....we beat the best ever Asian games tally by 4 medals ( 65 to 69 ) ,( incidentally I had predicted close to 75 but the boxers let us down on total but still close ) equalled the best gold medal tally set in 1951, we had a outstanding commonwealth . But now its time to look at olympics , 2 years away and things will change but still time to reflect on possibilities Highlights and positives from this season Shooting - this was an awesome performance by an extremely young and talented team ........... They almost did better than super power China ( worlds super- eminent shooting nations ) in medal total .....The team is also extremely young in most part so in two years may knock of the rough edges and maybe do close to China in overall medals shooting ( China normally win 7-8 medals in shooting in Olympics ) ....I think with focus and attention this side can win dare I say it at least 3-5 medals at olympics with attention , some mental conditioning .... I seriously find it shocking when people say India did not do well in shooting in Asian Games Wrestling - Vinesh was really brilliant ...she demolished the field in what was possibly the toughest category in the asians games - Womens 48 . If the olympics she would be a shooin for medal at least ........ Bajrang was world class also but not in the same league according to me, Unfortunately none of the others were world class, sakshi was close to silver incidentally but no one was truely world class ........ so I would rate this 1-2 possibility for the olympics Boxing - Well Amit Phangal defeated world no 1 again in a brutal weight category so he has the credentials now , vikas is exasperating but maybe he will focus and could be a medal hope , he lost here more due to an injury ................... Incidentally we have a whole flush of young women world champions ( 2 gold , 3 silver ) so definately will hope for at least one of them to be world class by the 2020 ..... so medals possibly 0-2 Badminton - 2 singles medals both in woman - almost surely 1 medal at the olympics , if the mercurial srikanth shows consistency it could be 1-2 Weightlifting - Mirakhom with a world championship gold and a one 196 weight in the lowest weight category is a medal contendor so maybe 0-1 Atheletics - Neeraj currently world class , Hima can improve to a world class level , maybe an Indian atheletics medal 0-1 Recurve archery and hockey have promised much but have underwhelmed , India did wonderfully in tt but too early to say , aging tennis stars in doubles so nothing there
