I saw in Totallympics that Fatma El Shernoubi of Egypt received wild card in womens 1500 m athletics. Egypt also has 4 more participants in athletics. Can you explain what kind of quota is that?

Someone please float the link for the Indian prediction contest for Rio among totallympics members

Goldman Sachs Olympic Medal prediction http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/01/rio-olympics-goldman-sachs-thinks-us-china-will-clinch-largest-medal-haul.html

As for record , the news came in front page of Ei Samay ( Times of India Bengali edition ) , Dated - 28th July, 2016

Two more Indian athletes accused of doping. But federation has not disclosed the name and keeping the news low profile to avoid tainted image. Rumors are that the two athletes are Seema Poonia and Nirmala Sheoran.

As a replacement of Narsingh , only experienced Sushil and yound Parveen Rana are in contention. Both seem to be out of practice.

As per UWW,India's quota will stay inspite of doping. Chance for Sushil Kumar for hattrick of individual Olympic medal

Which camp? I see the girls practicing. https://www.facebook.com/jswsports/photos/a.146037438900308.1073741829.146011675569551/423423147828401/?type=3&theater

That reminds me of Kendra Harrison of U.S. breaking 110 m hurdles world record day before yesterday but failed to qualify for Rio.

Such a shame this Narsingh Yadav is . He should have remembered that billion hopes rested on him . He was selected above Sushil Kumar and this was a medal hope for India. Note : Considering he took banned substance and there is no conspiracy against him

Also currently Indian junior men cycling team is ranked number 1 in the sprint category. Junior women team are also within top 8. Deborah 6th in the world. 2020 seems hopeful in this multi medal sport

The Union Government has planned to bring sports fans together to celebrate the spirit of Olympics by putting up giant screens at open spaces in all major Indian cities. The concept of ‘fan park’ is a big hit among major football playing nations where fans enjoy the tournaments on giant screens set up at a central location. Sports Minister Vijay Goel said that the locations will have giant screens, on which events involving the Indian athletes will be aired live.

Congrats Sai Praneeth

Your entry for the prediction contest ends before the start of the Olympics. So I guess there is no problem. In case of the situation you mentioned, supporting Saina for a Gold medal does not hinder my prediction contest gameplay by any means.
