great image of kirpal singh

interesting fact

yes just saw juddys post ...I had gone by the original start list .. so that is sad as I wanted to see if mayookha was better ....... have changed the details

thanks for the info juddy

thanks for the update ..........................yes lots of action tomorrow for India ...... have changed the analysis

mere dost ................exception clause in Totally Olympics is for national threads

key highlights for today 20th ( big day for India ) updated with swimming ) @Prakash @Prashanth @gvaisakh @tirtha22 @Sanjib@sasidhar@RickygoestoRio @ritesh@Partha_SG@Smit Boxing nikhat zareen - hyd girl so a personal favorite of mine .... has been outstanding in the juniors - hope to see her do well in her first major senior tournament in the 54 kg against aus - Ifeel Nikhat has the edge sonia lather in the 57 against mgl gundegmaa so may be a good bout meeena rani against ger in the 69 - tough bout for indian ..edge to ger pooja rani against ukr borutsa ...edge to borutsa Athletics at the taiwan open Krishna poonia - discus - will she cross the 58 m mark as she comes back from semi retirement ... I feel the quota may be too tough but if she does 58-60 very positive mayookha in the triple with sheena et al.... - Is she recovered from the terrible fall at the fed cup ...I feel quota may be difficult but if she does close to 14 it would show that she has regained fitness.. ( Update they have removed their names so they are not participating ) shot put - Om prakash - can he break the 20 mark and maybe reach qualification quota 200m - dutee , srabani . manju in the 200m women ? ...... will we see a olympic quota acheived there are a few more unknown names but I do not have much hope from them but if any of the discus throwers comes even close to 60 it may be good news for iNdia as Vikas is aging Uber cup - Semis India vs china Li vs Saina ...... can go either way , edge to Li but not impossible for Saina to win wang shixian vs Sidhu ..... can go either way ... even chances as sidhu does well against the chinese wang yihan vs ruthvika ....... almost an impossible task 110+ vs world no 4 ...it is like yuki vs federer ..................... but ruthvika is very classy so 95-5 with a small 5 chance tian /zhao vs ashwini / jwala .... less impossible but 75 -25 chen pair - world no 12 .against sikki / ashwini ...................... again almost impossible maybe they will make ashwini/ sidhu pair which did a fine job against the japanese world 12 and almost beat them ........................... Japan open swimming supriya mondal in the 200m butterfly can he break the 2:00 mark ?? , he recently broke the OST can he try for rehan pponcha NR ...OQT looks impossible sandeep sejwal in the 100 breaststroke ... he is the closest to the OQT .... can he break his own record 1:00:97 ...OQT is only 1:00:57

basis for a reallocation........is it completely arbitarary or highest ranked shooter or ??? ( this is presumably only for unused quotas because some country who had a quota refused - normally to protect a better shooter who may have qualified in another event ) - how many unused quotas ?

How can romania get a wild card .....???...are not there nations with less than 8 quotas ....like afganistan or nepal

let's look at the lineup Li vs Saina ...... can go either way , edge to Li but not impossible for Saina to win wang shixian vs Sidhu ..... can go either way ... even chances as sidhu does well against the chinese wang yihan vs ruthvika ....... almost an impossible task 110+ vs world no 4 ...it is like yuki vs federer ..................... but ruthvika is very classy so 95-5 with a small 5 chance tian /zhao vs ashwini / jwala .... less impossible but 75 -25 chen pair - world no 12 .against sikki / ashwini ...................... again almost impossible maybe they will make ashwini/ sidhu pair which did a fine job against the japanese world 12 and almost beat them ........................... so the chance we have is saina to beat li , sidhu to beat wang and then hope for a scratch pair to beat world no 12 doubles or hope that jwala / ashiwini can pull off a suprise ...extremely poor chances .............but hope zinda hai

In fact in my post before the uber I had said that she has great potential and that she can spring a surprise despite a 110+ rank but this just proves it ...................It is a great achievement......I believe in a years time she should be in top 25 ....i hope she gets some good corporate support................ Nitchaon is not just a world no 25 player but also has been a top 12 player till some time back so a great win ....also I thnk a good win for jwala / ashwini after some time ..................... Now for China in the semis can india pull off the impossible ???

Our 8th National record in the last 2 month since 20th march ( asian race walking ) .................... 100m women- duttee - fed cup 100m men - malick- fed cup 400m men - Arokia - fed cup 3000Sc - lalita - fed cup 3000 Sc - Sudha - shanghai daimond 110m - sidhanth - usa elite devender singh - 20km walk - asian race 4*100 - indian womens team - iaaf challenge we still have a couple of days till 2 months and we have the taipei open so

definitely this team can do much better still ............... for comparison the china womens 4*100 in the asian games had the top two runners at 11.48 and 11.55 we have three runners doing better .... the china team 4*100 ran 42.83 ....................if we run a really smooth race we can run 42.5 i feel ...... no wonder the coaches are focussing on this event more than the 100 m individual

tomorrow seems a big day for us in atheletics. with many indians in action at the taipei open ........... and we have Mary kom and sarita in action in the world championship ...is there any one in the doubles tennis in roland garros ...............and I am not sure of the badminton schedule yet but all in all a big day for indian sports

I hope we can have an outstanding team of 100m sprinters .............. we already 3 ...if she develops in the next couple of years then

how fast is she running ? ...age ??

I feel with current set of 100m runners we can touch 43.5 easily.................they need to practice as a team .......................

Good analysis ..................I think katie taylor is aging a bit she did not qualify in the european qualifiers came third ....if by chance AZE or ITA reach semis before this match she automatically qualifies so may not go full tilt ...............

how is the womens qualification going to work..................... do we have already qualfiied boxers ? ........................ if so what will be the accounting ?

The international sports fest at rehlingen Germany on monday ....... The Indian Javelin players who have moved to Poland to practice were in action Neeraj Chopra had a best effort of 79.51 to finish 5th ....... still quite bit to go to his personal best of 82.23 and to the Olympic quota of 83 Annu Rani had a mediocre effort of 54.72 and Suman Devi 52.51 against the Olympic quota distance of 62 .................. We are seeing our athletes based in three locations .................US - Primarily the Discus and hurdlers .................. the middle distance and javelin throwers are in Europe and the short distance sprinters in Asia competing this week .....Most of them have been global coaches and good facilties ..............hopefully we should have more athletic quotas ...........

with the number of weightlifters getting banned going up .... is there are any chance that the womens team could sneak an extra quota in ???

do we have a list of all nations involved till now and how does it go between men and women ................ if they have mixed set of cases do the countries lose one in each group or only in one

actually the rowing federation has taken decision after wrong decision ............. they did not send our team to the world rowing championship .... then they did not send the women to the Asian qualification regatta ...and now this
