Mairaj Makes the final ( comes in second In the qualification round ) ...... final yet to come ....................... The second indian to make the final ....lets hope he makes a medal finally ...................

as per Wikipedia ...India get 2 and 3 spot ( amongst the Olympic qualifiers list ) in women's 48 kgs weight category at the Asian qualifiers in weightlifting ...if correct this almost ensures our qualification in the weightlifting women's with 48 points already ..........................

I seem to be seeing in wikipedia some results coming for the womens 48 kg but I am not able to get anything on the IWF site ???....any place where you can see this

weightlifting asian qualifiers expecting indian women to top ....... in men slightly difficult maybe 5-7 ranking

After seeing the level of our wrestlers in the Greco barring a very slight chance in 59 rest looks tough almost impossible .................. In the freestyle three lower quotas closed ................... only satyawart has a chance ............... so main hopes may be from the women ...they seemed to be doing OK and they met the end winner in almost 3 cases in the quarters ...... also vinesh over weight was a blow ... I feel we can hope for 1 women's quota ......................between . Vinesh , Geeta , Babita and Jyoti

Sandeep Tomar wins The quota ..................... Finally one in this championship ......................... and it was a rocking win .............

slight good news in shooting ...... mairaj seems to be doing well after day 2 ...... he is joint third with 5 others in skeet ...hopefully he continues to shoot well in the final day and we may have our second finalist ......................

you can get it from here also http://www.worldrowing.com/events/2016-fisa-asian-and-oceania-olympic-qualification-regatta/event-information Even if we get both quotas ............................................... we will have to select only one quota either as per the rules as only one event can be selected per NOC ...... I presume if we get both as seems likely we may go with the LM2X as we seem to be in the top 2 places .................... whereas in the second we are not directly going to the finals ..............

finallly some news of seema antil and krishna poonia ....................she finished second at the hartnell throwers meet with a throw with 58.86 m ...with the A qualification at 61m she still has some way to go ..................... but a good start ...also news that krishna Poonia ( who I thought retired ) is making a comeback .................. I am hoping that we have 1 ( or 2 ) qualifiers in womens discus as both are easily capable of breaking the 61 m mark ...................................

First - let me say it is impossible for three golfers from India to qualify ....as per the rules .................. All players within the top-15 of the rankings as of July 11, 2016, will be eligible, with one big caveat: No more than four players can come from any one country. The rest of the field will be determined by the world golf rankings, with a maximum of two players per country for countries that don't have more than two players in the top-15. we have no players in the top 15 so no chance of more than 2 ....both SSP and Anirban will qualify easily as per the latest list ( check out gvaisakh list) ....I do not think in two months that they will drop out of the top 60..so they are almost sure to participate .... In women aditi ashok is 57 out of 60 so has a reasonable chance to make it provided she does not slip in the rankings in the next 2 months ...see the list below http://www.igfgolf.org/olympic-games/qualification-system/ogr-women/

shocked myself ...... I would have thought given the format we had a reasonable chance

Normally olympics are often a little easier than the world championships ................................... partly it is because with a limited set of 30 or so shooters compared to a world championships within 80or more shooters........................ it is easier to make the finals

I found the comments a little difficult to digest ...... semenya has been tested and allowed to participate under the rules..................... Unlike some of the drug freaks ...she was born the way she was ................... to say that she is disgusting is to say that a seven feet basketball player idisgusting .... they have some form of physical harmones which can cause an athelete to have an advantage ............................. once the law has been decided and she has been allowed to play as per the law ...then just admire the fact that she is a great talent and let her play ...........................

wanted to see this ....................when I play it says not available in your country ...then I tried hola unblocker and masked my country as Uk , US and Brasil ...... but still same comment ...any advice

as the difficulty level increases , it is more and more difficult to get the execution right ( with a produnova it is almost i possible to get a 9 in execution as you tend to lose some points for your posterior touching the floor ) ...................... she did improve her vault scores significantly though she had 14.683 in the world championships ...now she had 14.833 which is almost close to the 4th position at the world championships .... I am sure till now she must have been focussing on the all round to get through to rio ( and she had a great improvement of 2.7 ) ................... with the TOPS scheme she will focus on the vault and get more training ........................ but full credit to her coach Nandi who has dedicatedly brought her to this world class level

God help them ...their continuous conflict has spoilt our international participation in boxing

great information prashanth .......................... I wish the indian journalists would do their reserach before they publish and say that dipa is the first indian gymnast to qualify

In 1956 for example - three Indians participated in gymnastics ............. I could not find their scores in wikipidea but when I checked the books of the olympics .........this is their score in the individual all-round 61 Singh Pritam IND 77.350 62 Lal Sham IND 77.100 63 Ram Anant IND 65.550 they finished 61 /62 /63 out of 63 gymnasts ................. so obviously the Indian Media has not done their research .........................

impressive to see chusovitina qualify ...she is well past 40 so what an amazing performance

why next to impossible ...... she finished 5th at the world championship in the vault ..... so a small miss by someone else and she could be in with a medal chance ...so I would say some chances ( but not next to impossible )

She now has a world class vault ......... a strong balance beam ( 13.366 ) and a reasonable floor ( 12.6 ) ....................... her uneven bars is weak ( 11.7) where she had a great improvement ....................................................but with some improvement in floor and uneven bars she can be a good all round gymnast also ........................ so great result for her an improvement of 2.7 in all round ( compared to the world championship ) is great ................... she is a definite phenom in indian gymnastics .................... It was great she had a chance to participate and she has worked on her all round .................... currently she is no 1 in the vault in the test event and would definitely win a medal here in this test event .............

Taking nothing away from Dipa ......... This is our 6 olympic qualifier in gymnastics we had 2 in 1952 and 3 in 1956 ................... but our first female qualifier , our first in 60 years and the first one with a true medal prospect .....................

Dipa ....Dipa ...... our first qualification in gumnastics since 1956

wow a 52.698 for dipa ............................... it is offical we will have a gymast at Rio

dipa wow a 11.7 on uneven .... a fantastic improvement from the worlds ................................ if she maintains her balance beam scores ....she will surely make it ....l.
