Not expecting, Actually 2 best timings not possible in a short span.

Indian rowers did their Personal Best by 12 seconds. they had previous best of 6:36.00 odd msec to 6:24.00 odd is in itself great when the  race had World record pace setup.

Sumit Nagal became the first India to win a singles match in Olympics Tennis after Leander Paes

She defeats higher ranked player is the point to be noted.

Improvement can be seen from the last Olympics maybe not so much in numbers but definitely in quality, Khelo India is a great initiative I think there's also a university games now, but we are getting only the government school students into it, the private schools also need to be infiltrated, the only way is to make a compulsory subject where you need to choose 1 or 2 sports and you will get marks in the board exam based on your performance at some junior level over 2 years, affiliations only to schools who can provide that facility etc.

Srihari timing is ratified and he has qualified for Olympics.

This is one hell of the path breaking performance for India. Hope today Srihari would also break OQT in 100m backstroke.

India finished Asian Boxing Championship 2021 with 2 Gold 5 Silver 8 Bronze
 
Pooja Rani in women 75kg and Sanjet in men 91kg won gold medal 

India getting 2 Quota till now itself is above expectation. With 8 quotas in wrestling it takes us to all time best contingent in wrestling in Olympics though from less events to maximum to again reduced events this has been the best till now. 

Yes that was really a dramatic final. Great to see youngster pull it off.

i love your country, and sport in india is becoming universal like china! by 2028 india will fight with the europeans and the usa and china and enter the top 10

Indians all but sure qualified....Need 8th place or better in the medal race.

The thread would consists of all the Olympic Hopefuls and qualifiers in lead up to the Olympics. After which the thread would give updates on sporting in the nations and also about culture and traditions of the nations. 
 
I also encourage users to choose at least 1 South Pacific nation of choice and update it at least once weekly or monthly since we have no one from those nations. Even non Olympic countries like Tokelau, Wallis and Futuna will be interesting as not only it'll give an idea of sports there but also educate us about their culture. 

Not a bad idea actually.

I think India has not participated. They just gave names....

Asia-Oceania Senior Championships 2021

The best Indian athlete in Track event so far....The flying Sikh....Milkha Singh...Surely the inspiration for the entire Indian Country...

You didn't see my Women's section.

A player's badminton ranking is obtained by adding the 10 best results of the player in the past 12 months. If, you take part in a competition and earn less points than your worst result already being counted, you don't earn any more points. 
 
Lets take Lakshya Sen as an example. Lakshya Sen had 39447 ranking points in Week 18 (28 April 2020). His worst record in the ranking was 1670 points from New Zealand Open. He earned 1670 points in Swiss Open. So, no improvement in ranking points. 
 
Similarly, Prannoy's worst performance is 2750 in Syed Modi, so 1670 points in Swiss Open didn't improve his ranking as well. 
 
But, Srikanth's worst performance was 2660 in French Open, and he earned 4900 points in Swiss Open, hence his ranking points improved by 2240 points. 
 
 

Anu Rani breaks NR with a 63.24m in National Federation Cup 2021.

Historic quota for us. Bhavani Devi is India’s first ever Olympic fencer. 
 
Special shout out to @Prashanth for believing in Bhavani Devi and tracking her for past 4 years. 

Vijay n Jasleen got 120 points and rest 3 got 10 ranking points for their efforts in Grand Prix in Judo ranking. Jasleen has strong chances of qualifying to Olympics.
