    Can you please share the link to the release. I think Nirmala and Anas have to be included in relay teams. We can exclude Tintu from relay team at present and then substitute her for one of the other athletes at the time of races but don't see any logic behind doing so (except increasing strength of the squad by 1).

    Athletics quotas:
    20km M Race Walk: 3
    50km M Race Walk: 2 (could be 0 as both Manish and Sandeep have met standard in 20m as well and so technically, AFI can send them to compete in 2 events)
    20km W Race Walk: 2
    Men's Marathon: 3 (think they would all compete unlike Women's marathon)
    Women's Marathon: 2 (Kavita Raut, OP Jaisha) (Lalita has clarified she wont participate and I wont be surprised if Sudha also gives Marathon a miss)
    3000m Steeplechase W: 2 (Sudha Singh, Lalita Babar)
    Dutee, Srabani, Nirmala, Tintu in Women Track
    Manpreet and Seema in Women Field
    Dharambir, Anas and Jinson in Men Track
    Vikas, Inderjeet, Ankit and Renjith in Men Field
    Total: 27 (assuming Manish and Sandeep are not selected for 20km and all marathon runners participate)
     
    For Relay, we get 6 quotas per team (minus those who qualified in individual events), so with 2 relay teams, 4x400m and 4x400w and 3 individual quotas (Anas, Nirmala and Tintu) we should get additional 9 spots. So, total is not 33 or 34 but 36. Which puts us at 120 total.

    Our Sports minister Sonowal   has talked about the 10 medals 
     
    "From whatever inputs I have got from the various sports federations, there is a strong chance of India bagging more than 10 medals in Rio. The preparations are going on in full swing and the government have put forward every effort to ensure that the medal tally goes up," Sonowal"
     
    But he has already been replaced  before Rio ................................

    We're hoping for Pajon to repeat her BMX gold. She just won the worlds (although at home). Ibarguen has dominated women's triple jump for 3 years (although she's been a little off this year) and Fernando Gaviria has won the last two world titles in men's omniun. The road race team is pretty good but I don't dare make any prediction for that race.
     
    What about India? I know shooting always does well for you but what else are you going after this year?

    Regarding Swimming Qualification, below is the summary of the qualification procedure, as understood by me.
     
    All swimmers with OQT are eligible to compete in Olympics as long as NOC limit per event is followed. After this FINA adds relay only swimmers (swimmers who are part of relay team as declared by NOCs and not part of any individual event). Next FINA keeps aside quotas for Universality places. Then FINA would start inviting swimmers from OST pool. This will be done based on rankings in individual events and not overall rankings, meaning that all first ranked eligible OST swimmers in each event would be selected first, then second and so on till total quota of 900 is reached. After this, FINA gives Universality quotas to nations with no qualified swimmer (max 1 swimmer per gender). FINA only guarantees that all nations with a swimmer at Kazan Championships will be represented at Rio. It does not guarantee that such nations will have swimmers of both genders at Olympics. Any swimmer who participated at World Championships is eligible for Universality quota. S/he does not need to reach OST to be selected. 
     
    No Indian has reached OQT. I don't think any Indian is high enough in ranking to get invited on basis of OST timing. So, only chance of qualification is Universality quotas. Now, as stated above, we are guaranteed to have one swimmer. Most likely it would be male swimmer (higher ranking). Whether we have a female swimmer or not will be known only when FINA declares the universality quota. Regarding the male swimmer, there is some confusion over how male swimmer would be chosen. For London Olympics, Gagan Ullalmath was chosen in 1500m Freestyle, without him having achieved OST, ahead of couple of swimmers who had achieved OST. I am not sure whether FINA made that decision or Swimming Federation of India bungled up. So, we can't be sure about who will represent India till 5th July.

    In hindsight, it is brilliant that we are arguing over who should be sent and who shouldn't considering the number of potentials for a single spot. Clearly indicates Indian shooting is moving in a right direction. All depth and no dearth

    Some are.saying what is the.difference between 102 &120. Medal contenders will remain same. I have big objection on it. Our athlets are qualifying through achieving a target set by international body. Except swimming none will qualify through so called wild card. Many of these standards were even better than our national record. These qualification standard gives inspiration to our athlets to better national record. Now these players main abjective is to earn quota, in sports with out international exposure you cannot create champions. Champions are not born, they are to be created. If our 120 player's achive quota it means our 120 players have crossed a big barrier. It means they have achive a specific international standard. Today those who are working hard for qualification, will be the medal contender tomorrow. I hope the sucess of these 115-120  players who will qualify through qualification process, will give inspiration to our swimmers also, and they too will decide that in 2020 we will atleast have a 3-4 swimmers achieving A qualification standard. Please enjoy the sucess of these 120 players, they have started a new.chapter in our sports. Please dont underestimate their success. Feel proud of them. And hope that minimum of 120 players  will qualify for rio.

    Dear freinds this is a huge achievement for Indian sports, without any impressive goverment policy on sports since independence we have achived a great mark. Thanks to all players, coaching staff and sponsors. Today the way ngo's like Olympics gold quest are working with the support of society, and the way more and more corporates are coming in financial supports of players, I have no doubt that next time we will be 150+.

    nitinsanker reacted to Dolby in Shooting Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016   
    Shooter A wins a quota in Event X. Now, this means a) Shooter A cannot win another quota in any other event and b) Shooter A's NOC has a quota in Event X. Now, whether NOC wants to send A or some other guy B (who has MQS in Event X) is purely upto NOC. The shooter who is selected by NOC can participate in other events as well provided he has MQS in that event as well. This can be done as long as the number of shooters in that event does not cross 2 per NOC limit. If NOC wins 2 quota (A and B) in Event X and has another shooter C who has quota in Event Y and MQS in Event X, then NOC must decide which 2 shooters would take part in Event X. This is what happened with China. They decided to use shooter C and hence returning their quota. All these selections are not part of exchange of quotas. Exchange of quotas is when NOC returns its quota in Event X and instead gets a quota in Event Z. Like we exchanged Rajput's quota in 50x3 and got quota in Trap. This exchange can only be done once by NOC. 
     
    Hope this clarifies the situation.

    1. 50m Prone - Gagan Narang - Medalllist last year in one of the Fort benning world cups 2015  , has the big occasion temperament 
    2. 10m Air rifle(m) - Abhinav Bindra - Big occasion shooter , is showing signs of a return to form ( in baku world cup was leading finals after 2 rounds  by a big margin ), a gold medallist has the temperament to shoot ( only a fool would say that Abhinav cannot medal in Rio..... In case any of you want to dispute that  )  
    3. 10m Air Pistol(m) - Jitu Rai - Bronze medal at the chongwon world cup - consistently has been in finals - One of Indias top hopes 
    4. 50m Air Pistol(m)- Jitu Rai - Currently Ranked world number 2 in this event , silver at the world championships - a class act 
    5. Skeet(m) - Mairaj - The only Indian who won a medal at the Rio World cup this year - currently ranked world no 4 ( never thought we would have a skeet prospect )
    6. 10m Air rifle(w) - Apurvi - broke the world record last year , last years world cup final silver medal 
    7. Womens Badminton - Sania Nehwal - world championship silver medallist , in good form 
    8. Mens Hockey Team - Last two major tournaments - Silver and Bronze 
    9. Tennis Mixed Doubles - With Sania in the team we have one of the best women's players with a very small field just two good matches and you are in with a medal

    18. Womens weightlifiting - Mirabhai Chanu in the 48 Kgs has lifted 192 which puts her in the elite list of top 3-4 weightlifters, she has been consistenly improving in the last few months and I feel will reach the level of 194 or so at Rio ..that should fetch her a medal with some luck 
    19. Womens Vault - The fast improving Dipa Kramakar came 5th at the world championship , she has been getting a lot of support and will improve further , a medal prospect  in gymnastics
