I think In pro boxing qualifiet, neeraj goyat bout will take place today. Any news.

Now neeraj has to win 1 of next two bouts, he will through to rio.

Congratulations. Now their participation is further assured in rio.

Today our Prime Minister really did a great thing. First time ever a pm held a one to one meeting with every single player, who has qualified for Olympics. We should appreciate this step of pm, as a sports lover. I hope soon goverment will come up with a practical good national sports policy.

How many quota can we win fron final boxing qualification? 3 from 3?

I think it may be diplomatic strategy of Italy to win votes of cricket playing nations.

any hope coming up in 110 hurdle?

thanks... so now we are 103..

sorry now wikipedia added...but still not getting any news..

not getting any news in google regarding this, nor wikipedia adding her in Indian quota. arlier they are doing it very fast. please share the link of result.

great

As a proffesional player, they have their commitment. So we should respect it. However it will be good if we see a Indian pair, however if they dont than please take it as simple. Due to these partners they have earned those valuable rating points, through which they earned a quota for our country...

so due to non planing of AFI we may stayed at 112 (102+ 3 golfers+ 2 swimmers+ 5 relay). or may be 111, i think tintu luka is part of 4x400

so what next for them? only 11 days remaining.

It is getting tough for remaining athlets to gain quota, time is running out.

When will he run again?

Any news?

In all other sports India is moving in positive directions, In many sports like wrestling, Shooting, boxing, badminton we have generated a poll of good teenage players. But I am not seeing happening this in Tennis. Leander & Rohan are in the last phase of their carrier, but nobody is emerging to substitute them. In girls there is looking like a big vacuum after Sania. Moreover in junior events of Grand slams our boys & girls are not making any mark. I don’t know whether my assumption about tennis is correct or not. But if yes, then we are surely going to face big problem in tennis. May be we relegated to group 2 in Davis cup. I think we need a Gopichand in Tennis very soon. Mahesh has started a tennis institute in Bangalore; I hope he will do same to tennis, what Gopichand is doing to badminton.

Our all 12 shooters, 7 badminton players, 3 boxers, 8 wrestlers, 4 archers capable of wining medals. And also our pair in mixed double tennis, deepa karkar in gymnastics, vikas gowda and some others in athletics, golfers have potential to win the medal, we can win 10 or more medals in rio.

Some are.saying what is the.difference between 102 &120. Medal contenders will remain same. I have big objection on it. Our athlets are qualifying through achieving a target set by international body. Except swimming none will qualify through so called wild card. Many of these standards were even better than our national record. These qualification standard gives inspiration to our athlets to better national record. Now these players main abjective is to earn quota, in sports with out international exposure you cannot create champions. Champions are not born, they are to be created. If our 120 player's achive quota it means our 120 players have crossed a big barrier. It means they have achive a specific international standard. Today those who are working hard for qualification, will be the medal contender tomorrow. I hope the sucess of these 115-120 players who will qualify through qualification process, will give inspiration to our swimmers also, and they too will decide that in 2020 we will atleast have a 3-4 swimmers achieving A qualification standard. Please enjoy the sucess of these 120 players, they have started a new.chapter in our sports. Please dont underestimate their success. Feel proud of them. And hope that minimum of 120 players will qualify for rio.

No if a man swimmer attains A qualification mark, than through invitational places we can sent only a female swimmer.

With 102 already assured and 10 (5 from women 4x400, 3 from golf and 2 from swimming) almost assure, that means 112 is already assured. Now all depends on men 4x400. If they gets into top 16, i think we will touch 120 mark. Some where i have read that big names of pro boxing is keeping away from Olympics qualifier, and with many of powerhouses already earing the quota, we may get 1-2 from this qualifier. But to get 120, I think men 4x400 is the key. Howmany of you are still hopefull of 120 mark.

If AIBA wants to keep boxing alive, they have to make some serious changing in scoring, make it transparent. I think earlier scoring method was very transparent, as soon as boxers hits to scoring zone of his/ her opponent they got points. But now they have really created a system, which seems to be created only for cheating.

Who else is taking part in this championship?

4x400 men time 3:04:84.
