The story of what happened to the indian team at the taipei open http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/sport-others/relay-team-fluffs-baton-exchange-gets-disqualified-rio-2016-olympics-2809754/

Nikhat is my personal favorite boxer ....Hyderabadi girl she has the hunger to be great ... the passion to achieve ...another great role model a Muslim girl ........from a poor background...................... I think she can be worthy replacement to the great MC ...............

India Bids Goodbye to Mary Kom ....... 6 time world champion ........ Inspiration to all Indian sportsmen and women ....... she is retiring after her loss in the world championship

MAGNIFICENT MARY ...................................... We will miss the smiling Mangte Chungneijang , the lady with the dancing feet , with hands of steel ......... to be honest I always felt she was always going to be over matched moving from the 45-48 which she dominated to 50 where she was so much smaller and with much less reach ............ but she coped the very best way she can and in this match I felt it was 50-50 match ...................... Goodbye Mary

nice analysis ........................do you have it for all 15 shooting events ................

Seema Antil came agonisingly close to reach the quota length on 15th may 2016 ..... the discus distance is 61 m 30 60.80 Seema ANTIL 27 JUL 1983 IND 1 Claremont, CA 15 MAY 2016

Today the wind has been unkind to india ...strong head winds in duttee 200m and just this 2.1 wind ....a small +.1 beyond the legal limit ...............also as the post showed hit the 6th hurdle ..... so a smooth run andI am sure sidhanth will make it ................. but the Indian atheletes are just missing it for the last month or so .................

youtube as well as on the aiba site ....on youtube just go to the aiba boxing channel today afternoon bouts ( geeta and pooja ) are there on this link bouts 1 and 4 ( 58 minutes or so ) pooja

real accurate accounting for the taiwan games juddy ................. I gave you a well deserved reputation for this

i am pretty happy that my predictions yesterday ( given below ) were right in all but pooja ............... I think pooja did well to beat a strong Ukrainian boxer who are known to be amongst the toughest in europe ............. The Nikhat fight seems to have been much closer than expected ...but the hyd girl showed courage 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

wonderful news

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 ???
