prashant could you give me a link for this as I seeing india still at 7th in the FIH site ........ I was expecting them to go up by two places to fifth but I cannot see the new table anywhere

As per the ISSF rules the Indian NRAI can only exchange one quota ........ we have already done it ....there is no more possible change we can do now, so no possible change in any more players , let us cheer the players who are going we have no choice now

yes

@suneet There are two seperate issues facing IWF - first is reduction of quota places - This is based I think on the removal of one quota places ..................... Second seperate issue if BLR , RUS and KAZ are banned then what action is to be planned - that is still pending

when is sumits bout ?........................ will be tough against russian

Totally agree Look at the contrast between 4 Indian Olympic medallists....... Sushil and Vijender ( both are heroes of mine mind you ) did not participate in trials or tournaments .............. suddenly seem to have this attitude I have to be at olympics just a few weeks before the olympics , despite someone else slogging to win a quota Lee and Abhinav on the other hand worked seriously over the last year ....abhinav to get selected to the indian team by participating in the trials , then slogged to get into form and win his own quota ...... lee going to challengers for the first time in god knows how many years to bring his ranking up ................ They win their fair quota at the olympics dudes you are not bigger than the sport and you will have competition for your place daily ...........

Big day for india tomorrow 3 of our boxers in action for a quota place in the quarters Kynan hoping for a medal in the ISSF world cup Final news about what IWF propose to do about three banned countries ( possible 2nd quota for India )

Unfortunately No ................. Mirabai is in the 48 Kg category and her main rivals will come from just 4 countries - CHN ( almost sure gold ) ...... tough fight with vie , tha, prk for the rest of the medals as china is likely to field just one lifter ................. only advantage may be that she may have sanjita for company in the 48 kg and the two are close which would boost her morale

.................................. yes there are a few positives which they have not yet revealed

Interesting news ................... due to doping RUS , KAZ and BLR may be banned in weightlifting if that is the case ..................... India may likely get a second quota in womens weightlifting as we are number 3 on the list for two quotas

but the calculations are going to be crazy ...............lets hope for the best ................... if we get quotas then we will need to be removed from the asian qualifers the cascading effect could be really vague ......................... they may simply say the cancelled quotas could again added to the unqualified list to prevent those issues ............

but what if the nation is banned kaz , rus and blr ? What will that mean .................. ? ......they had banned BUL , they lost their place , surely if KAZ , RUS and BLR lose their ranking the whole ranking should be pushed up ?

...thanks .............. I was building castles in the sky thinking it will trickle down to the world championship list ( ie to India ) .......but from what you say that will mean 11 new nations will get one weightlifter each .....hope some of the oceanian weightlifters get a chance

who will get the quotas ?

luckily they are not the hosts this time ................... when the asian games were held in incheon you should have seen them at their worst 2 gold , 3 silver and 1 bronze for a total of 6 medals ...........? South Korea (KOR) 2 3 1 6

Definitely AZE are the unequivocal winners of the boxing fair play award in boxing with S korea and KKazakhstan

Great result for Indian boxers last couple of rounds ....................

.....thanks you are a life saver

nice site ......seems chock full of Info

Vivek you seem to be fluctuating between over optimistic and pessimistic .............. we have 2 boxers who need 1 bout to reach and 2 boxers who need 2 bouts to qualify ....... I feel a reasonable total of boxers qualifying would be 2 boxers which I feel is a decent estimate ............... similarly I saw comments from people that we would have no athletes more and we would have 13 athletes............... I feel a reasonable total would be 7-10 new atheletes including relay team which will be 5 ( five ) ....... by the way if you qualify a relay team you get 5 quotas ( not 4 like I was reading in many posts )

full squad with the return of rupinderpal , ramandeep , sardar and Lakra ............................. I would love to see how they do with the full squad

Boxing prelims at Baku - Indian status 48 kg - devendro reaches quarters has to win two more bouts to qualify 64 Kgs - Manoj in the round of 16 ( won a good fight against 2nd seeded egy in the round of 32 ) has to win two bouts to qualify .....he has defeated the seeded player but will probably face a tough BUL boxer but he has the possibility to beat him 75 Kgs - Vikas faces JPN boxer in the round of 32 today...has to win 3 bouts to qualify 81 Kgs sumit sangwan is in the round of 16 having won two bouts - including defeating 8 seed from colombia ......... has to win 2 bouts to qualify Satish a bit unlucky as he was on even points at the end of round 2 , but the bout was stopped due to a cut he got ,,,,,,,,,,he had a good chance to reach the quarters I would love to see Vikas's form but if he is in form he should make it ....................... from the rest 1/3 I feel is a reasonable expectation ............... I had made a predication that we will have 2 qualifiers and would like to stick to it ( provided Vikas is in form )

cannot see any live links do tell me if you see one

IS THERE A CLEAR DRAW SHEET ........................ FOR THE QUALIFIER ?.................... the site is such mess
