Weather looks better today ............... I live right alongside gatchibowli stadium ................. Planning to go tomorrow to see the events ( Bunk office for a day .....watch sports live )

Great Run by Jinson ..................... he is closing in on the oldest Indian atheletics record by the great sriram singh ....The mythical 1:45:57 at the montreal olympics 40 years ago......... hope he is able to break it ........................does he have any Rio chances ......and he was behind the rio mark by just 0.43 seconds ........... how did the others do in the 800m ............ Sajeesh etc, Lalit ..could any others break the 1:47 ......Sajeesh has been in such poor form ,..... and has been having so many opportunities ....I wish Jinson had more opportunities

Good outing at the ISSF world cup Baku - We have a record number of finalists - 9 Finalists Man Singh - Skeet - ( 6th ) Sanjeev Rajput - 50m 3 positions - SILVER Gagan - 50 M prone - ( 7th ) Heena - 25M pistol - ( 8th ) Jitu - 10 M pistol - SILVER Gagn -10 M air rifle - 6th Abhinav - 10 M air rifle- 7th Kynan - Trap - 6th Pooja - 10 M Air Rifle - 4th Suprsing was Heena in the 25 M , she has never done well in the 25 M pistol , also for Man I think the first world cup final , shows that Skeet is on a role , Kynans was also a fine performance he was leading most of the time in the event , welcfome return to form in the 10 M for gagan ............so overall a good outing

@kapil857 I did fill in my sheet on the prediction competition but it is looking almost the same 15 for everyone ...it would be good if we add G, S, B to the 15 names and then give 2 points for correct medal and 1 point if your person medals ........ and also reduce the list to top 10 so that people are forced to make more choices as of now it seems to have nearly all possible medallists

I am not able to see the results can you give me the details

I did not see inderjeet name here, but maybe I missed it

i live right outside gatchibowli stadium and it has rained heavily hope it clears by tomorrow

I complete agree with you vivek ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, A sport cannot be measured only by medals at the olympics .................. for example many of the athletes who have qualified have broken the A mark may not win in the olympics but they will be formidable at the asian games, so when the commonwealth games or asian games comes it will matter and they will raise indian pride ..........., even if Dipa for example may not win a medal ...her life story is inspiring to me and for all gymnasts - My daughter is a gymnast at the district level - I showed her dipas video to inspire her .................... I think interest in sports goes up with each quota achieved ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I think if we achieve 120 quota it is a huge step forward for indian sports ..................... Yes medals do matter and I feel we will be able to do better than London because with 120 we will have a greater number ( as a quality management specialist we have in quality something called lead indicators - the first signs of problems or achievements ......... 120 quota places is a lead indicator which will lead to greater achievements in terms of medals )

Ouch !!!

Amiya best score is 10.26 and the cut of is 10.16 ...I felt that he will find it difficult to hit 10.16 but he may be motivated by fellow state sprinters making it ........ I am updating the list now to add amiya ........................ Sorry I missed your query Tirtha earlier on srabani ........... I did not see it ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I was in the middle of some workshop did not follow the forum completely ....

I know earlier I had felt it was close to impossible but now I feel it is possible ........let us say 112 as you say .................... Now boxing is happening at the WSB , I feel one indian boxer may make it so that will bring us to 113 we can still expect a few more in athletics - a couple of more quota places ( we did see a sudden spurt of 4 last week alone ) , and many athletes will be inspired and also going through peaking training for this period with - we have many athletes still possible ( I have given the full list below of possibles ) ( close 16 Individual Max ......of course let us say 20% of them are able to do it - still we may have 3-4 more individual atheletes ) so let us say 116-117 Now the key thing will be that one of the two relays ,make it .....If the mens 4*400 makes it will add 4 new quotas ( excluding Anas one ) we should be at 120-121 and if the womens 100m team makes it it brings us to 119-120 so ........I feel it would be close to 120 + or - Men 1) sidhanth - 110mh 2) Dharambhir - 200m - Not heard much from him this season 3) Arokia Raj - 400m 4) Lakshmanan -5000m - Not heard much from him this season 5) Jithin - 400mh 6) Prem - Long Jump 7) Neeraj and Rajinder - Javelin 8) Renjith and Arpinder - Triple Jump 9) Basant Rana- 50km walk ( not sure if there are any events left - Is the inter state having walk events ) 10) obviously the best bet is 4*400 m replay for men which can give us 5 places 11) Amiya malick - 100m Women 1) Anilda , Poovama - 400m ( though they would be included in the 5 relay atheletes of 4*400m women so will not add to new quota places ) 2) Jaisha - 800m/ 1500m 3) Mayookha - Triple Jump 4) Krishna - Discus 5) Long shot - Womens 4*100 relay but I feel they can go really much faster and since both srabani and duttee have qualified they will not be stressed and can focus on the relay I feel there will a big jump ...... is there time no one knows

good analysis

I agree

Golf on 11th July if I am not mistaken ( 3 expected ? ) Athletics - obviously till 11th July ( 5 more for 4*400 women + others ?? ) Swimming till 11th July( 2 expected ) Boxing - Now three boxers in the APB & WSB qualifier................... I think it is happening in July 3-8 ( maybe 1-2 ) I think that is it ...............................

I think we will have another spurt in the inter state atheletics meet ..........where the others would be inspired and hopefully the competition would lead to qualification for example Mohd anas will perform well and that would help arokia to perform maybe jyothi may be pushed by duttee and srabanis qualification ankits qualification may help prem to perform better jithin will be competing with Durgesh and so on

I agree 4*400 qualification looks critical for our further growth in numbers

awesome kapil !!!........................ will definitely participate .................... Probably the prediction contest manager can run a similar contest in totally olympics for countries like serbia / india etc which are active forums in India

What mess ? ................. every person has a right to a legal recourse and she won a legal judgement !......................

wow !!!!!!!!!!
