Kashyap has withdrawn from India Superseries as he has not recovered fully. With this, his chances of qualifying for Rio are almost over.

since she is the lowest qualifier on the all round  ....would that be easy ?.... she would require to overtake 3 people who qualified above her ............. and how does the qualification work here 

Qualification works same way as World Championship. What is different for Dipa is that in WC, she would have concentrated on Vault, now she can focus on a more all round performance. It won't be easy but is surely possible 

Was hoping for a quota in GR but didn't think it would come so early and in higher weight category.  Bit disappointed at no quota in FW, was confident Vinesh would atleast get quota. Fingers crossed for next tournament. 

In shooting it was fairly straight forward selection with only real decision to be taken being about who would get Sanjeev Rajput's quota. By selecting Sandhu, NRAI has decreased chance of controversy

Updated the India team for Rio post (3rd post in the 1st page).. With the updated shooting and wrestling quotas.

 

Guys.. Please go through it and tell me if it's understandable or complicated

Excellent work. Do add other sports when you have time 

Start lists for test events are out. Its official Dipa is participating and has chance to become first Indian gymnast to qualify for Olympics. 

Also, sad that Indian federation didn't send Rakesh, who had also qualified for test event 

Vijay Kumar - Silver medal in 25m Pistol in 2012, failed to qualify. Technically, can still qualify via quota swap but seems highly unlikely.

No, just right now the field is more diverse with more countries earning quotas, + Kęstutis is 60 positions lower than he used to be before all the injuries (despite the fact that he still around top100). Plus Akvilė did not qualified for 2012 London as well, she just was invited later on through re-distributed quotas. Both Lithuanians will be in reserve list - so very small chance unless meteor hits a major tournament 

At present you are R6 in MS and R7 in WS. Also, meteor hitting a major tournament not help as top nations have multiple entries ahead of reserves.

I am in favor of having full results/draws but do share 2 concerns: 1) effort to post 2) aesthetics. If we have enough volunteers, I am for full results with spoiler option.

I am not in favor of just posting links to external sites for results. I think having all results helps in attracting new users (I came across the forum while looking for London Boxing qualification draws). Also, there is always a risk of invalid urls if external site undergoes some database changes. 

For medal tables, I think once at the end of day is enough.

Dipa might have sneaked into the final qualifying event...Her participation is yet to be confirmed.

Source? And what about Rakesh Patra?

Yaa...I too was scared to see that...Not a good sign....We were thinking of 2 getting quota...Now 1 looks in serious danger...

There is no way, we fail to get even 1 quota in MS. Even if no Indian gets any more points, atleast 4-5 of them would be eligible for one quota. 

Srikanth has enough points to remain in top 16. One good tournament can propel either Kashyap or Jayaram in top 16 as well.
