Abhi to India in finals bhi dekhna hain. Itni jaldi kya hain upar jaane ki.

Arrey if all were equally impressive, then also it doesn't matter which team we face. Karmanye Vadhika Raste Ma Faleshu Kadachana.

So? None of the teams in Group A has been super impressive and I don't see any reason why we should dread or favour one team over others.

I think Totallympics was started around London Olympics. Atleast I found the site then.

Thank God, Sindhu was around in an era with not a lot of talented opponents. Otherwise how could she have won 2 Olympic medals, 1G 2S and 2B in World Championships, 2 Uber Cup Bronze and 2 Asian Games medals.

Technically, teams can chose any of their archers for mixed team. The mixed team ranking will be based on their individual scores. So, normally all teams go with the top scorers only as 1) it is fair and 2) it gives them best ranking.

What a mistake by BWF in MS. Seed 4 is in a group of 3 and has a bye in Rd of 16, while Seed 2 is in group of 4 with bye in Rd of 16 and Seed 3 is in group of 4 with no bye in Rd of 16. Seed 4 getting better advantage than Seed 2 is ridiculous. There was a better way of doing it. Seeds 2/3 should have been in group of 4 with byes in Rd of 16. Top seed should have been in group of 3 with bye while 4th seed should have been in group of 3 without a bye.

FIQT = players at present eligible to participate in Individual qualification. All combined Results = includes players from nations with individual quota but shooting for team quota.

It was always Lee/Lindeman or Dong/Yakura. There was no chance of both qualifying and almost no chance of neither qualifying as well.

World Ranking considers the last 12 months points. Olympic Ranking only counts tournaments in qualification period. So, at the end of QP, World Ranking will be same as Olympic Ranking.

In London, only 2 Indians qualified, that too via South Asia Quota. In Rio, we were on track to qualify 2 but with some luck, ended up with 4. In Tokyo, we came close to qualifying teams but failed to do so. In Paris, the journey reaches first milestone with both teams qualifying.

And once again, Totallympics has 100% accurately calculated the correct quota places.

Ok let me clarify. World Team Ranking has the component of Singles Ranking. How is this component calculated? With help of a list having the top 3 players score. For example, China's score would be 8800 (Sun) + 4505 (Wang) + 4325 (Chen) = 17630. Similarly all nations score is calculated and a list is formed. Now, the top nation in the list gets 2000 points. 2nd placed nation gets 1850 and so on. Now, why would this ranking change from what we are seeing at ITTF website at present? Because Singles Ranking of players will change not only because of World Championships (minor change) but also because of points dropped from Feb 2023 and other points earned in Feb 2024. For example, if you check HKG has a Singles Total of 1163 (including 580 of DOO Hoi Kem) but in the WR published on 20 Feb, DOO has only 315 points. So, HKG's score would see a drop in the next update. Since, March Team Ranking would be used for Olympic Qualification, it is safe to assume that March Singles Ranking would be used to calculate that Team Ranking. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ITTF-World-Team-Ranking-Regulation-20230524.pdf Since, I have done my calculations on the fly with the main aim of finding out if India has qualified or not, there is a good chance that there might be some errors in the calculations. It would be great if someone can do proper calculations to find out the correct scores. In the Men's section, since the gap between India (last qualified) and Iran (Reserve 1) is decent according to calculations of @Siddhartha Talukdar I have not bothered to check it. Would appreciate if someone did similar calculations for Men's section as well.

With and losing, all three would have same points from WTT. From Continental Competitions: has 250, 286 and 378. Now onto Singles: New total for (Singles ranking 15) : 1136, (SR 16) 1005 (SR 17) 760 (SR 12): 866 (SR 13): 1023 (SR 14) 1272 So, new PSR should be So, with SR 13 would get 784 points (Total points: 2106), with SR 15 would get 672 (2030) and with SR 17 would get 574 (2024) Infact Poland would be at 2114 (assuming same SR). So, by my calculations is the one who will miss out.

Goes to World Ranking.

There will be further changes in the team rankings based on the change in Singles Ranking.

The way it works is that those in top 10 will be in top 10 only. No matter the score, person not in medal fleet cannot finish higher than anyone in the medal fleet. Just as Gold Fleet/Silver Fleet. The persons who are in the lower half of Gold Fleet have higher scores than top half of Silver Fleet but still would be ranked higher.

And if any continental quota winners are among the quarterfinalists, that quota place will go to March Team Ranking.

Didn't Europe recommission a number of Coal-fired power plants since Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Don't know if the solutions he is taking are good or bad but it is intellectual dishonesty to blame Milei for hyperinflation. He has inherited a very weak economy and telling the public/investors/world the real state of the economy is a much needed first step and should be applauded. It is also a good step politically, as it shows your predecessors as bad and tries to put the blame for subsequent hardships on them. Now, let us see if he can come up with the more difficult work of practical solutions which will be politically bad as well.

Let them compete instead of the US team or the Canadian team. Just as England/Scotland represent UK in a number of team sports. Let Haudenosaunee represent USA (or Canada) in Lacrosse.

Yes.

Insane innings by Maxwell. Surely one of the best ODI knock of all-time. Tough luck . Their inexperience showed in the later stages of the game when they didn't have any idea about how to stop Maxwell who could not even run. A football analogy I read about Maxwell's innings was "This was like a player scoring 8 goals in last 10 mins of a game after pulling a hamstring and when his team is down 7-0"

Yes and No. Winning by X runs/Y wickets does give some idea about whether victory was massive or tiny. For example, win by 100 runs is massive while win by 10 runs is tiny as the losing team was in with a chance for a longer time. Similarly, win by 1 wicket is marginal while win by 10 wickets shows domination.
