great job by our recurve team........ hope our men carry the form into the qualification

Actually I think that India will have a good chance to qualify one judoka................ because in the continental quota - the rule is - 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 ...i.e the Top 20 countries in Asia will send one judoka each under the continental category ( This will I think exclude nations like Japan / Korea/North Korea who will already 7 men / 7 women hence subject to the maximum rule in the top 22/15 ) ,,,, the process is extremely opaque and difficult to identify who will be selected but I think we will have one judoka .......

gv could we now update this for this week ...... I think may7th is the Indian grand prix and also the finalisation of badminton quotas is 5th May

Thanks for the update a lot of work has gone it ...I would like to compare it with the Information I have ....... I think we should add the following as well additions qualification for 50 km walk is 4:06;00 ... I think we should add these two as possible qualifiers Basant Bahadur Rana 4:07:25 Jaipur (IND) 28.02.2016 Chandan Singh 4:09:51 Jaipur (IND) 28.02.20 mens 400m Mohd Anas 45.75..... 0.35 seconds behind mens 400,mh durgesh50.37 - 0.87 seconds behind Mens 800 m jinson johnson - 1:47.56 , ........ .... as the qualification for 800 m is 1.46...... so he is 1.56 seconds behind not a huge time difference in the 800m , lalit mathur 1.47.90..................... 1.90 seonds behnd and sajeesh 1.47.96 which is 1.96 seconds behind also add rajender singh 82.23 in the javelin in 2015 to the javelin group as a possible qualifier ( he did it in mid april las year which may be on the outskirts of the qualification cycle but we can add him as a prospect ) women discus - seema antil 58.86m recently with the qualification at 61.00 ................. she is 2.14 m behind but well within her grasp mens shot - tejinder singh 19.93 in the shot which is .57 behind the qualification of 20.50 womens long jump - prajusha - 6.30 with the qualification at 6.70 which is .4 behind mens 5000m 13.36 by lakshmanan govindhan at wuhan 13.25 is the olympic qualification ...so 11 seconds behind modifications for triple jump women road to rio has mayookha johny at 14,09 at South africa 22.04.16 - but I cannot find this at top lists ??? - not sure for 200m srabani was faster than duttee so the scores shoudl be reversed it is awesome to see this list once updated we seem to have temendous talent at this point of time in Indian atheletics

@gvaisakh @Prashanth @Dolby @Suneet @kapil857 I remember someone posting likely qualification in athletics earlier ........ do not remember who ....If after the fed cup that list is updated it would a useful list to consider how many qualification chances we may have left in athletics ...................

yes but currently we are 17th in the list of 4*400 m ...................we need to do another 3:29 as the average of best 2 is considered and I feel it is possible ...............

The one squad which I feel can make the olympics is the womens 4*400 squad with the recent performances being good in the 400 m ...I feel the squad of Juana / anilda / poovama and possibly tintu can easily hit 3:29 which will take them to Rio................... The others improvement based on the recent scores and we will need to see what is the best that they can do

Final update from the asian olympic qualification in weightlifting Women's - India finished 3rd ( top 6 get 1 quota ) pipped by one point in the last event by Uzbekistan , Vietnam finished 1st as expected .........As discussed the quota was definate and confirmed ............. The scores by the women in the higher weights were disappointing, to say the least ( to give you a feel Sushila panwar in +75 kgs lifted the same wieght as mirakhom in the 48kg - 190 kg ) ....... But on the positive side mirakhoms lift of 190 total would have put her 5th in the world championships and possibly 4th in the olympics ...... she is a distinct medal prospect and under kunjaranis tutelage would I am sure be definite medal prospect in the womens 48 at Rio and I am sure she would be the weightlifter nominated ................ In the long term looking at womens weightlifting there was no new 4th weightlifter standing out ....... so India for tokyo needs to build a couple of new weightlifters or wait for drug tainted krisani and mitali to get back to get our 6 member squad in place ............. Men's - India finished 6th ( top 7 get one quota ) ..closed the one quota finally ..still close to the first 7 mark not be complacent ....but on the positive side they seems to have a series of young weifghtlifters who could form the nucleus of the squad for the next cycle- Venkat Ragala with a strong 316 in the 85 kg was great , Sambo and jeru ( from Arunachal ) are both juniors and 2-3 years should be there along with seniors like Vikas and Sathish .... Vikas Thakurs performance was good and most possibly he may be our one quota for Rio ( he would probably finish in the 12-15 range there ) so not much can be expected of him ...............

i feel there may not have adequate practice ...possibly we may see better scores at the grand prix in patiala

what a federation cup ....... I know we did not see any qualifications ( other than sudha ) but so many National records being broken was phenomenal ( mens 100 , womens 100 , mens 400 and 3000 steeple for women ) .........also in Indian athletics the lower sprints 100, 200, 400, 800 in men has been weak for the last 15 years or so and sprints in women 100,200 and hence the relays have been weak , mens 100, 400 and womens 100 ........................... but with the kind of scores we are seeing I think we may have qualifiers but also see an effect in the Asian games ...................... that is 9 events so really significant ........................... I was looking at the Asian games 2014 with the kind of scores we had here we would at least 5 more athletic medals................ I am sure in the may 1st week games ( iNDIAN GRAND PRIX ) we may have definitely a few qualifications

We would not be able to see Ms khadija ( the UAE weightlifter who said you do not need strength but only your mind to be in the Olympics )

what happened to the 4*400 m runs ???

yes great jump he seems to approaching olympic qualification which is 16.8 or so ..............

mens 800 m - great effort by jinson - 1:47.56 ........ a good effort by asian standards( gold at asian games 1.47.5 ) and indian standards ...three atheletes below 1:48 is awesome ...... as the qualification for 800 m is 1.46...... again a possible olympic qualification

800m women- as expected win by tintu 2:01.84 not close to her personal best ...but she was miles ahead of the rest so I guess no one to push her

200 m women .....................great race so exciting ...really a photofinish .......................... 23.39 -srabani , 23.41- dutee , 23.42 - Jyothi ............................. three women so close to qualification 23.20 ...... I feel confident that one of them will break away to do the qualification ............................... for example here duttee had a very slow start ...............if she had a fast start then she can definately shave .1 to .2 which shoudl bring her to qualification

200m men - dharambhir wins with a reasonable speed 21.02......................... with the olympic qualification at 20.50 .. I feel he is also close to the olympic qualification timing and can do it ......................

really Doordarshan sports can be so unprofessional that they do not give the time even after the medal ceremony ..... and after the ceremony they still seem to talking about who is first on live TV ????????????????

what is the final time ...................seems unofficially announced at 23.40 ...... but seems to personal best for jyothi ...... so we may have 3 runners at 23.3-23.4 ....... I feel only a matter of time before one breaks the Olympic qualification of 23.2 .................. also would like to see what is the 4*100 relay with these players

second event of the afternoon ( 400mh women ) ....... not a great time by jauna 58.6 on a olympic qualification 56.20

First event of the afternoon (400mh men )...a very creditable time of 49.94 by jithin paul in the 400m hurdles ........................ olympic qualification time was 49.40... the asian games gold was 49.71 .................

Afternoon session starting now you can watch live at http://vuroll.com/play/livetv/DD-Sports_1894

tomorrows key finals in the federation cup from a qualification perspective I am looking forward to seeing dutte chand in the 200 m final ...she was in good form in the prelims and she was really fast in the 100m in the last strech dharambir singh in the 200m finals is going to be interesting renjith maheshwari / ar[inder in triple annu rani in javelin ( the throw conditions seems poor so less hopes ) mayookha in triple ( she did not participate in long jump I feel she is saving herself for the triple ) tomoorow I think there may also be a special trial for the relay team ( I had read it in a news item but there is no mention of it on the website ...is this event there ?? )

I there were many many others who had the same issue .............are they all going to be disqualified
