nitinsanker

sorry she just turned 20 ....I checked .......................... but still she has many years to improve ..........and as she has won a quota she will get funding for better training

I agree as she is just 18 and sprinters peak at 23-24.................. I feel she will become some one like PT Usha was ...... an asian phenom but she will not be able to come close to the Jamaican or African american sprinters

I agree or they can have a special meet like the Indian grand prix at the same time .........................

I think Aiba rules of qualification ......process of scoring ................. is rubbish ( the previous method was so much better ) .................. I hate watching AIBA boxing as it makes me so irritated ....................... Boxing must be removed from olympics till they fix their crap

Can any shooter represent the quota .....................for example if shooter A wins a quota............ can the NOC select any shooter to represent the country for that quota or is that also counted as an exchange of a quota .................. what are the rules governing that

even poovamma score is really good

Thats a pity if they cannot compete

I am right I hope by the way ? ................................

guys do you have a clear link for the rules for quota exchange ..................... I have said in my national forum that the maximum number of quotas that a country can exchange is one ................ There are so many people arguing that a country can exchange as many quotas as they please ....................... am I right ? ............... do give me a link ?

wow !!!! ................... Thats amazing news

I think overall even if we forget Rio for a minute , it has been a great year for Indian atheletics with so many national records being broken .................. I do not remember a single time when so many records have fallen so quickly ...... I am sure we will have a huge benefit of this .................. I hope we will see both Anas , Arokia if not in the individual but hopefully in the relay .......................

tirtha did you see my list of 20medal prospects +20 long shots on this page http://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/84-india-national-thread/&page=164 do tell me what you think ?

thats cool ............... I feel the group of six after australia are so close that they can be divided any way and it would be fine.........It is going to be a really close contest ................

In Field Hockey men I would probably ***** - Australia **** - India , GBR , Netherlands *** - Argentina, Belgium, Germany **- New Zealand , Spain I found field hockey women fairly in line with what I thought

@kapil857 @sameerph @Sanjib guys - In 2012 that was the rule that the quotas belong to the country .................ISSF has laid down a rule for rio that any country can exchange a maximum of 1 quota place only ................... for example - A total of eighteen shooters were provisionally named to the Chinese team, including two double starters, at the end of Olympic trials for rifle and shooting. As per ISSF rules, China had decided to exchange one of them with the men's 50 m rifle prone spot, which was awarded to Zhao Shengbo. Hence, the remaining berth was returned to ISSF for reallocation as they cannot exchange more than 1 quota @MantaRaymarc as the shooting qualification thread host do explain

oh no ..................... India has had a bad case of near misses in shooting ( during the asian qualifiers where at least 4 shooters missed by the skin of their teeth ) and now in athletics we seem to have the same phenomena .....................but maybe the 4*400 will make him and arokia be at Rio

.....what happened to laishrams bout

thanks ..............Please do use this suneet ( my pleasure in fact ) ...as well as the next list of 20 long shots if you find this useful for your analysis

to add more fuel ....... 20 other long shots for medals 16 Long shots but with a chance - 1.Kidambi , 2. Babita in wrestling , 3.laxmirani majhi - womens archery , 4.If atanu das is selected seems in great form , 5.Gurpreet in rapid fire , 6.Gurpreet in 10m , 7.Chain in 3position , 8.Nanjappa in 50m , 9. manvjit in trap , 10. kynan in trap , 11.ayonika paul in 10m rifle , 12.Manoj in boxing , 13. lee and rohan in the doubles never rule out lee, 14.Vikas Gowdas PB of 66 M could get him a medal if he is able to do that in rio, 15. anirban finished as T5 in the PGA championship – Many top golfers are opting out – Rio will be easier , 16. Mens 20KM walk – we won the asian championship – a superlative performance may give us a chance, Russians are out 17. Devendro if he qualifies ? ............adding 3 that i missed 18 , Gagan in 50 meter 3 position , 19 gagan in 10m air rifle , 20 sandeep tomar in 59 kgs wrestling freestyle .

I saw so many lists for possible medallists so my listicle Top 20 Medal chances for India( this is in no order ) 1. 50m Prone - Gagan Narang - Medalllist last year in one of the Fort benning world cups 2015 , has the big occasion temperament 2. 10m Air rifle(m) - Abhinav Bindra - Big occasion shooter , is showing signs of a return to form ( in baku world cup was leading finals after 2 rounds by a big margin ), a gold medallist has the temperament to shoot ( only a fool would say that Abhinav cannot medal in Rio..... In case any of you want to dispute that ) 3. 10m Air Pistol(m) - Jitu Rai - Bronze medal at the chongwon world cup - consistently has been in finals - One of Indias top hopes 4. 50m Air Pistol(m)- Jitu Rai - Currently Ranked world number 2 in this event , silver at the world championships - a class act 5. Skeet(m) - Mairaj - The only Indian who won a medal at the Rio World cup this year - currently ranked world no 4 ( never thought we would have a skeet prospect ) 6. 10m Air rifle(w) - Apurvi - broke the world record last year , last years world cup final silver medal 7. Womens Badminton - Sania Nehwal - world championship silver medallist , in good form 8. Mens Hockey Team - Last two major tournaments - Silver and Bronze 9. Tennis Mixed Doubles - With Sania in the team we have one of the best women's players with a very small field just two good matches and you are in with a medal 10.Boxing - Shiva - A medal at the world championship ....... 11. Boxing - Vikas - Indias finest boxer reached quarters of the world championship , is a world championship medallist 12. Wrestling - Narsingh - The only indian till now to win the olympic quota at the world championship , shows his class 13. Wrestling - Yogi- Missed the world championship due to injury but his form at the asian qualifiers was fearsome 14. Wrestling - Vignesh - Awesome form at the last qualifiers , again her form was so good 15. Archery womens team - Current world championship silver medal , has consistently been medal-ling 16. Archery womens individual - Deepika is a true championship so many medals , was immature last time in her first olympics , now is more mature 17. 10m air pistol ( w) - Heena Sidhu has been ranked world number one in 2014 was in fine form in the run up to the asian qualifiers 18. Womens weightlifiting - Mirabhai Chanu in the 48 Kgs has lifted 192 which puts her in the elite list of top 3-4 weightlifters, she has been consistenly improving in the last few months and I feel will reach the level of 194 or so at Rio ..that should fetch her a medal with some luck 19. Womens Vault - The fast improving Dipa Kramakar came 5th at the world championship , she has been getting a lot of support and will improve further , a medal prospect in gymnastics 20. Womens Badminton - PV sindhu - two times world championship bronze medallist is definately a prospect

Yes my back of the envelope calculations also showed that they should beat BEL and ARG ...............But maybe the official table would be released soon .... I am surprised they take so long to release the new table

Yes if we have already used that 1 change which we have ( we had exchanged sanjeev rajputs quota for Manavjit )

found a link for your reference...page 5 ... https://www.usashooting.org/library/Policies_and_Procedures/OG_Rio_2016_-_ISSF_Qualification_System_EN_-_Version_Feb_2014.pdf An NOC/ISSF Member Federation may request to change a maximum of one (1) quota place in one (1) event for one (1) quota place in any other event if available and if the NOC does not have the maximum number of quota places for that event.

I am 100% sure of it ....in fact few of the countries ( GER for example ) had to drop a second shooter to accommodate a cross qualification because they could not exchange a second quota place
