It was a poor decision to de-centralize this group, I'm unaware of the challenges but gradually this group is dying, I hope I'm wrong.

Yes, overall good performance.

At least we have female swimmer now, let her perform in next year Asian Games

I follow this thread regularly and updates from Prashanth are extremely helpful to keep track, my thought is information should not be decentralised, it's easier to find everything in 1 place

With Kiran Pahal also going under 52s(51.84s recently), Indian women 400 m relay team looks really strong, hope Aishwarya comes out clean of the allegations, we now have Aishwarya, Kiran, Rupal and Priya with the promising Priya being the slowest of the 4.

I'm surprised how Akarshi won the national trials with this game, no smash, no backhand, no court coverage, no deception, just a few drop shots, she will be smashed tomorrow by Kim Ga Yun, not good signs for our Ladies singles the better skilled players like Tasnim, Ashmita etc need to raise their game.

Voot OTT platform, take an annual subscription it took around 299 for 1 year a couple of months back, this year Fifa world cup is also coming only on Voot and it's channels.

It looks so wonderful when both players in women's doubles badminton have strong shoulders watching Jolly & Crasto play together today was a terrific experience, ofcourse at times they looked out of position as they don't play together these days but even with that they looked far better than any other Indian pair I have seen for a long time. Now that Mattias Bo is the coach I expect him to speak his mind and allow them to play together atleast for the next 2 years till the Olympics. On the other hand Ashmita has got the Lin Dan air about her the way she walks around on the court, needs to improve her concentration she has such delightful shots just need to tighten her game unforced errors are just too many at the moment, we need to be patient with her as no other of our singles players have even half the skills she possesses.

We are going to see Jolly and Crasto play together in the Uber Cup, as Gayatri is out injured.

Badminton India - What happened to Chirag and Satwik's defence such poor defense specially from Chirag this Friday getting more and more figity with kissing the racket and touching his partner between points hope the psychologists are helping him, not good signs many of our earlier pairs looked mediocre because of poor defence, this was 1 pair who rose because of strong defence hope Mattias Bo can work on it. Again another new Chinese girl in the final with a crisp backhand, not sure why our female players coming out of big academies just don't have any backhand option from the back court what are our coaching staffs doing about it? Why couldn't a big player like Sindhu master that shot in 10 years time?

There's only 1 XD in mixed team competition, I think Satwik and Ashwini might pair up as they have played in the past the only real competition will be with Malaysia anyway.

No she needs to learn how to play badminton, it seems Tanisha and Jolly won't be partnered in that case the next best option is Tanisha and Ashwini.

Yes, she is raw kept hitting outside today with experience that will come down, she also tried a backhand smash today these things excite me about her atleast her coaches have given her the tools, the smash power has to go up I'm sure she will get opportunities now, Akarshi has no future nothing special in her game, anyway she won so should get chance.

Was watching a few matches of the trials, what a lovely crisp backhand Ashmita has, her shoulder power also seems improving, huge future ahead if she can stay fit and keep working on her shoulder strength. We have to be patient with for 1 or 2 years as she enters the big arena, frankly I haven't seen any Indian women with such brilliant technique ever.

They should be, we can't play tennis.

So Treesa and Tanisha will not be partnering each other is it, that seemed more logical to me?

I hear she has clocked below 51s in practice, let's watch her for the next few events we should get the indication. My only worry in such cases is hopefully what happened with athletes like Nirmala is not repeated.

Ok, hope now that doesn't become an excuse of not pairing them obviously at 16 they didn't have shoulder power, hopefully the Dronacharya award in our country actually means something.

This is standard for any 400m runner, they want to participate in 200m to get that zip during the finishing of 400m, Anas, Rajiv have done it for a long time, there is no question of Priya's participation in 200m in any international events. Btw the big thing in 400m coming on is Aiswarya Misha she will soon break Hima's national record.

Men's Singles - Kiran George expecting him to be in the top 30 by the end of the year. Women's Singles- More hopeful from Anupama and Tasnim, expecting both to be in top 30 by end of 2023 maybe earlier for Anupama Men's doubles- Sai & Ishan no chance, some other pair maybe Dhruv, Arjun moving to Top 20, WM doubles- Only chance if Crasto and Jolly are paired together they have the potential t he in top 10 in a year

It's high time Crasto and Jolly are paired together, any keen badminton fan can realize those are the best 2 in women's doubles currently and need to play together, I hope any other player who doesn't have shoulder and defense, do not keep getting picked for the wrong reasons.

No need, they can play ISL for 12 months, already playing for 6 months every year and we are watching.

Nothing sad, this is the worst hockey India played in the last few years

Completely outplayed, Sindhu didn't have the confidence to play a single backhand.

Exactly investing in Men's football is useless atleast for the next 100 years.
