sorry missed that though it was CAPS

Sad that Jinson Johnson not being given a chance he is the best 800 runner by far .....................

Wont that be to many events considering have just 8 days to 11th and that would include travel time ...............

Sai Praneeeth reaches the finals of the Yonex Canada Open Manu and Sumeeth also reach the finals

.................... well what is the buzz in the region about chile this olympics .......Avaya, natalia Duco , Tennis ???

good to see the start of the Chile national thread

I hope they will ................

??? ................. seems unlikely if they hit that specific speed mentioned ...... I think it is typo ( I think they meant 17th ) unless the speed given is wrong

Manu and Sumeeth also reach the semis in mens doubles ............... sadly Jwala and ashwini gave a walkover and so did manu and ashiwini ................. I feel ashwini may be injured slightly .............. ?

Updated my list with 5Gs......................hoping to win with my team

The mens 4*400 meter @Hyderabad ................. 3:03:71 ......................Not enough for olympic qualification but improves its position to 17th and is agonising close to the 16th position Venezuela ( Indian average 3.02.94 ....Venezuela average 3.02.76 )

............................. New National Record in womens javelin throw at Hyderabad ................. 59.87 by Annu Rani ( not enough though for the Rio qualification which is 62).

Thats an awesome time ...........with nirmala trained and in sync with them I am sure they can go even faster ...................would be great if they can beat 3.29........ that may be enough to get them to the finals at Rio ....................... also I think without a doubt now they will be at Rio as this will take them to the 12th position .............

i had suggested that we have 5 golds along with captain and vice captain ( if any of these 5 ................ and as many of these 5 get a gold we get 5 points for each gold )

I feel the top 15 are very similar and so are the top 2 .................can we just outline 5 Gold hopes and mark G against them and if they get G then we get extra 5 points we do not need to have silver ( S ) and bronze ( B) marks , the other points still stand ................. ? This may make a lot of difference for example while I hope the Narsing may medal I do not feel he may get a gold while Jitu in the 10 m may both medal and get gold ??? since we do not mark any silvers the case above would not happen we want all of them to go for gold now it is a true fantasy game ( India with 5 golds at the olympics ) ....................

@rohan sharma bro ............what events are there at the Inter state cannot make out from the Indian atheletics site ? ................................also cannot make out from the fb page you recommended

As it is a prediction contest................ we could also add +5 points where your prediction matches with the result ? , for example if I gave sania a silver and she gets a silver my team gets an additional 5 points ? do you feel this will make it more interesting and also allow a better points distribution ?...maybe we can only give G or S or B ( no 4th or top 8 ) ........................ as we are hoping all of them medal ...

Kapil do we add G , S , B , 4th place and top 8 against the 15 ? like in brackets ? ............ Saina ( S)

Depends on the relays .................. if either the 4*100 women or 4*400 men make it ...there is a good chance ( I am presuming the indian 4*400 women of course make it )

Today also in the mens high jump we had three atheletes at 2.17 so decent attempt .................again no olympic quota chance

Yesterday was bad ...slight drizzle .... I feel if jinson ran in todays weather he may have qualified ................. I heard that he may be going for an attempt to qualify at thailand along with renjith ..............someone can confirm

also kirpal did a great 59.64 in the mens discus ................he is a good second to the Vikas gowda .....if he improves a couple of meters he can be an asian threat no chance of olympics quota though..............

Can confirm as I was at the inter state atheletics meet .......Weather today was good overcast but dry ......hope to be there tomorrow again .........awesome to see Nirmala unknown athelete breaking the OGQ...................

predictions .................................

Nirmala ......................52.35....................................... she can break OQ in the finals if she can go 0.15 faster , the best anilda and poovama are doing is just the same or worse ....................... This can help our team do really well to have a third runner at this level as Jauna is doing 53.5ish at best ............................Probablky tintu can be fourth and she does a really fast 400 so we can have a really good 4*400 team
