    We can qualify only one judoka across gender and division with continental quota. I doubt, any of our judoka is in line for Workd Ranking Quota, top 22 for men and top 14 for women.
  2. Dolby
    There might be additional quotas available if a player qualifies in multiple event. For eg: say X qualifies in both MS and MD, he opens up another spot in MS. If Y qualifies in MS, MD and XD, 2 more quotas in MS for others.

    What bullshit. Athletes forfeiting useless matches in contact sports is pretty common. I remember in last Olympics qualifications, there were a large number of forfeits in gold medal matches. Also, if UWW wanted to stamp this practice out, it should have clarified before the tournament. And if they want to take action against Phogat sisters, place them under suspension/ban instead of threatening India with disqualification if they are selected.

    With just a week left, his 'prediction' is going to be 100% true. Srikanth, Saina, Sindhu, Attri/Reddy and Gutta/Ponappa are going to qualify for Rio. Technically, India can send Jayaram, Kashyap or Prannoy (probably couple more) in place of Srikanth as well but dont think that would happen barring injury.

    1 each in MS and WS

    Rowing federation has screwed up badly. Won't be surprised if we fail to qualify even a single rower for Olympics with easier qualification format. They will blame Army for not sending best rowers but won't tell why no female rowers are being sent to qualification tournament. RFI wants Army to train rowers year round and then cribs when Army coaches want some say in selection process. Sawarn's performance in London raised hopes but last Asian games were two steps back and now it is all over.

    They are preparing for Olympics by playing International Challenge event?
  8. Dolby
    No African and North American team is above us, so that is also problematic. But, it is closer as IIRC, team quotas will be allocated to teams with 2 qualified athletes first. So, if some team above us qualifies only one athlete, then we are ahead of them for team qualification.

    There are 6 quotas to be won in second stage. 4 winners from each draw should qualify. Last 2 spots should go to repechage. Mouma has a realistic chance of winning a quota in that. By my calculations, Mouma is 5th highest ranked player in second stage (behind North Koreans and Thais)

    Any clarification on tiebreaker for women's section?
  11. Dolby
    In Rowing, a NOC can qualify only crew per gender at continental qualifiers, so no chance for lightweight double sculls men and hopefully decent chance for a spot in women's section
  12. Dolby
    Tripartite invitation is only for nations with very low number of athletes across all sports. India is not eligible for that (thankfully).
  13. Dolby
    Top 36 ranked singles players qualify for Olympics. Country can qualify a maximum of 2 players in one event, provided both are in top 16. Other nations can qualify only one player in singles. Each continent is assured of one athlete in each event For doubles, it is top 16 pairs qualify for Olympics and both pair need to be in top 8. Each conticontinent is assured of one pair in each event, provided they are in top 50. A nation can use continental quota only twice. You can check the latest situation in the rankings shared by me previously

    We are at least not facing anyone from AIBA favorites China/Kazakhstan
  15. Dolby
    Kashyap has withdrawn from India Superseries as he has not recovered fully. With this, his chances of qualifying for Rio are almost over.
  16. Dolby
    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
  17. Dolby
    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
  18. Dolby
    Excellent work. Do add other sports when you have time
  19. Dolby
    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
  20. Dolby
    Vijay Kumar - Silver medal in 25m Pistol in 2012, failed to qualify. Technically, can still qualify via quota swap but seems highly unlikely.
  21. Dolby
    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. You can check rankings at http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/ranking.aspx?rid=176

    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.
  23. Dolby
    Source? And what about Rakesh Patra?
  24. Dolby
    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.
