sorry got mixed up with he July deadline for other sports like swimming and atheletics but yes the last date is 30th may have updated the post

Judo ... 1) the first 22 men and top 14 women in each weight category get selected subject to a max of seven per NOC .......non of the Indians are even remotely close here 2) after that continental quotas (Europe 25, Africa 24, Pan America 21, Asia 20 and Oceania 10 across both sexes and all divisions) are also subjected to an overall limit to one judoka per NOC and two judoka per division from each continent.....so if you do not cross the limit of 7 and 7 you can have a maximum of one more judoka and so on down the list for the asian top 20 countries / pan american 21 and so on depending on your highest ranking judoka .. In the Asian list India is 18th highest so we will definitely qualify one judoka ( Jordon and Lebanon below us) ... you can see the full list here https://www.judobase.org/#/ogq/country The question is which Judoka will qualify ... In the complex qualification system it may not be the highest ranked though normally it may be ..... currently we have 2 in contention ........... Kalpana in the 52- and avtar in the 90- weight categories ............... currently it is avtar who is getting the continental quota and I feel that will not change by may end ... In recent times he has gone upto the bronze level match up and lost in the Asian championship so can be a good judoka ..................... he had defeated in this tournament / recent tournaments defeated iranian moradi and chinese Bu so he has potential to be a medalist at least at the Asian games level ................. I am hoping he will get the quota as the training will be good for him

normally before a big event ...to ensure that you peak you have a schedule and the coach may have events planned at specific times so that you peak at the right time ............... The indian team has had a large exposure over a long period of time in the last event they were silver medalists and also in the qualification tourney before that so possibly the coach may have a schedule before the event , the mens critical event is coming and if you recollect they got the bronze in the previous world cup ... so again the may be in practice to iron out some kinks before that...................... I think the coaches decision should be honored ................. even the korean team does not play many tournaments

at the archery world cup at medellin ..... Indian second string team provides no upsets .............no individuals reach semis ...... 2 indian men reach compound quarters ( abhishek and gurwinder ) and 1 indian women in compound quarter lily paonam ...... the only person who stood out was Lily .... I think she may be a good talent for the women compund team with jyothi ......................... we lost in the mixed and recurve teams in the 1st and 2nd rounds so our only hope rests with the compound teams ...India has reached the semis in women compound and quarters in men compound

Kalpana Devi ( thoudham - nice name for a fighter ) points will go up...................... but I have been disappointed in her performances this year ................................ I think avtar has done better this year in Judo ..................... his fight is tomorrow I think so hope he does better and stays ahead of kalpana

With all the issues with drugging ....good to see we do not have any cases ......................... India is not the best countries as far as doping goes we have had a bad history especially our weightlifters but we have no cases of any wrestler caught drugging so we have also benefitted now because of this ...... 2 quotas transferred ,...... total of 8 ...Indian wrestlers are thrilled ...this is a record and a huge motivation for the GR and FW wrestlers

sure if she is able to do that it would be an excellent improvement and she can position herself as one of the athletes who can be in the top group 4-6 race leaders at Rio ......also importantly for us she would be seen as the best in the Asian context ...currently Ruth jebet from Bahrain has been doing 9.21... this has been her progress over the last 2 years Twenty-six-year-old Lalita, who switched to 3000m steeplechase two years ago , bettered the National record for the fourth time in a span of about 18months to underline that good work ethics could never go unrewarded. In the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Lalita had clocked 9:37.35 to go past Sudha Singh’s National record of 9:47.70 and bag the bronze medal. She achieved her personal best again in September last to claim an Asian Games silver medal. Lalita, hailing from Satara district of Maharashtra, left an impact in the Wuhan Asian championship where she cut more than a second (9:34.13) to claim the gold medal and make it to the World championship and next year’s Rio Olympics. In Beijing, she once again raised the bar to time 9:27.86 to come fourth in her heat and eighth overall to qualify for the finals in great style. after that had broken that again in the fed games just last month ..................... so it possible for her to better her time but 6-7 seconds may be a lot

Last year only one athelete went below 1:10 - Habiba .... I feel a 1.12 or 1.13 may fetch a medal in rio so a 13-15 seconds improvement is required which is very difficult but lalita is improving so

dude ....are you going to all the national threads and say they suck ???? ,....................... you just now said that India sucks in sports ................... now you are going to canada thread saying that that canada sucks ................ and these are your first 2 posts ???? ............ and you are putting a name saying India and say you are from India .................. you seem to be some type of anti india troll trying to put Indians down or get the other threads riled up on India ......... sorry but this is not done in this forum ... we are sports lovers not trolls @gvaisakh @Sindo

dude ....are you going to all the national threads and say they suck ???? ,....................... you just now said that India sucks in sports ................... now you are saying that canada sucks ...................... and you are putting a name saying India to say you are from India .................. you seem to be some type of trouble maker ................

seriously ...............Just when we are closing on 100 quotas ..................... you are complaining

You are right !!!....double ouch ..................... so we must hope that bopanna and lee do well at the french open

Thanks for the information was good and accurate ....so bopanna / lee need to do well at french open we could be without a doubles mens pair ?? ( ouch ) .... but then we could have a male in the mixed doubles in any case based on sania and bopanna scores ???

leander is the only international tennis player with an appearance in 6 olymics ...with Rio that could be 7 ..... a feat I believe may be difficult to touch by any other player ......in the link below go to tennis and see lee's performance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_athletes_with_the_most_appearances_at_Olympic_Games

Why do you feel so sure....................... what is the combinational criteria for selection ................ I am not able to find any detailed list of which doubles pair will be there in tennis ????

I was assuming we would have 2 doubles pairs in tennis but with Rohan boppanas rank coming down further to 13 ( down 2) ....what are our chances........................ also mahesh bhupathi is coming back he is now ranked 169 ....................... I feel he hopes that if rohan comes into the top 10 ...it will be rohans choice and rohan has preferred Hesh over lee ...so will we see lee not getting a chance to go to Rio .......???

I completely agree ...... They need to have a consistent and clear policy and implement it quickly ...let them not go on going round in circles ...... I like the NRAI which has set clear standards and in some cases top shooters have not been selected .................. but the policy is there and open

do we know who all of our athletes will be participating in the IAAF world challenge ..................

yes wrestling world cup ...this is an invitational world cup ( team championship ) for the top 8 teams globally in freestyle... I think we have reached this level only 2-3 times before

Groups announced for the world Cup freestyle in June ................... India in a very tough group Freestyle Group A Russia Georgia Turkey Mongolia Group B Iran Azerbaijan India United States
