  1. There are literally 5 members in BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. South Africa is not participating. So, instead of using BRICS, it would be better if we are honest and say "Why are Brazil, India and China participating?" Also, it would help us in asking the same question to other countries participating like Argentina, Mexico, Thailand and NATO member Turkey. But once we do that, we might realize that participation in these games mean nothing. Majority of the nations don't even care for the official Univerity Games, let alone Russian version of University games. Russian authorities would have approached some Universities from these countries and invited them. These universities sees it as a good opportunity to brag that their athletes represented the nations and won medals at an international event. Russia gets to brag that they got so much participation. And media gets to scare monger NATO vs BRICS/SCO like Allies vs Axis. And I find it really hilarious because except some China shrills, BRICS is considered a dead option in India. Majority of security establishment considers China as an enemy and Quad as future. And regarding Indian pariticpation in SCO, the running joke is that just as Pak was in SAARC to ensure nothing gets done there, India is in SCO to ensure nothing gets done.
  2. There are no shoot-offs. Vasemanis misses out on inner tens. And, I don't think Robin has won the quota. (two different athletes) fighting for 4 quotas.
  3. Finalists for 10m Air Pistol: Bowen Zhang Robin Walter Jason Solari Damir Mikec Kiril Kirov Junhui Liu Ismail Keles Samuil Donkov There are 4 quota places on offer. and are ineligible for quota and already has one quota. So, already has one quota.
  4. My views on Cricket in Olympics: What irks me everytime Cricket comes up is the scorn of some of the users. Just because you don't like a sport doesn't mean the sport is boring. I mean people here give running commentary on 50km Walk and still find T20 long and boring? There have been literally users who have said Cricket doesn't even deserve to have a World Cup as it is not global enough. And at the same time, no one has a problem with sports which are played only in Europe + USA/Canada.
  5. Personally, I don't think Cricket at Olympics much sense. But, it is not because of it being boring or crazy long game. A T20 game lasts only about 3 hours including mid-inning break. I am sure a baseball game is longer than that. Regarding sacrificing more Olympic fitting sports/quota, all of us are seeing it in the wrong way. We see it as Cricket/Breaking/Surfing etc. replacing more traditional and more Olympic fitting sports. Reality is those sports are losing out no matter what. They will be dropped unless they can get more eyeballs/money. The question is how long can they survive and who replaces them. From Indian medal point of view, Kabbadi in Olympics is better than cricket but Kabbadi is not even in the same league as Cricket. And do give Cricket a chance. Try to watch it in the upcoming Asian Games. I remember the apprehension (even scorn) a number of users here had regarding Kabbadi before watching it.
  6. Tell me you have zero idea about cricket (or field hockey) without telling me you have zero idea about cricket (or field hockey).
  7. Don't know anything about the person in question. But, onus of proof should not be on him. He shouldn't have to prove that he is not white nationalist. It is the other side that has to prove that he is a white nationalist.
  8. There is some confusion regarding the "Race to Paris" Ranking published by BWF as it is not counting Sudirman Cup. It is odd that they are missing it. Regarding host quota, France is guaranteed a place each in MS and WS.

  11. Yesterday, Imran Khan, ex-PM of Pakistan was arrested. Since then, his supporters have indulged in arson and rioting in quite a few places. They even stormed GHQ in Rawalpindi. Expecting Army reprisal to be brutal. Biggest questions are will Asim Munir impose martial law and take direct control or allow Shehbaz Sharif to continue as PM and will Imran survive this (not only politically but literally as well)? There is a very small possibility that Imran does have enough support both nationally and in overseas Pakistani community to force Army to negotiation table. Interestingly, in this power play, the ruling government has no role.

  13. I fully agree that Press Freedom in India (161) is similar to Belarus (157), Russia (164), Turkey (165), Yemen (168) and Saudi Arabia (170). And situation is much better in Belarus (157), Pakistan (150), Libya (149) and Sudan (148). And I wish our government can take pointers on how to improve the ranking score from Afghanistan who improved their score from 38.27 to 39.75.

  18. As I had suspected. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64564861
  19. Regarding clean athletes: Though the decision to allow certain athletes has been controversial from beginning, it was more or less a settled question. So, if IOC wants to ban even those athletes who were allowed in previous athletes, it needs new reason. Ukraine war, new findings in state sponsored doping, or something else. Regarding state sponsored doping: The way I see it the difference between doping and state sponsored doping is the role of national coaches and federations. Level 1: Doping happens inspite of NFs. NFs fail to properly educate, find and prosecute the dopers. Level 2: NFs turn a blind eye to doping. Level 3: NFs encourage/take part in doping. Personally, I think majority of NFs are in mix of level 1 and level 2 and only a small portion of them are in level 3. IOC's case for banning Russia was that it is among the few who were in Level 3. Personally speaking, I think more and more NFs need to move from Level 2 to Level 1 to make a big dent in doping. P.S.: As far as India is concerned, I think almost all federations would be placed in Level 2. Situation is improving but still a lot of work needs to be done.
  20. But if IOC wants to continue ban on Russia for doping, it should continue to allow "Clean athletes" to compete under IOC flag. And what about Belarus?
  21. You see this is the issue. For you Russia is the bad guy. For India, Pakistan is the bad guy. For Pakistan, India is the bad guy. For Iran, Israel is the bad guy. For Taiwan, China is the bad guy. I don't think not mixing politics and sports is possible. There should be consequences for one's actions. One cannot force Ukrainian athletes to compete against Russians. But, the same respect should be given to others as well.
  22. IOC is being accused of being an echo chamber but aren't you guys also in an echo chamber if you think that whole world wants to ban Russia/Belarus? For years, we have been fed this bullshit of "Don't mix politics with sports" and now that Russia has invaded Ukraine, it is ok to mix politics with sports? Would you all, who are asking for ban on Russians, be ok if tomorrow India bans Pakistani athletes from a major tournament hosted by India?
  23. An area already facing so many problems.
