Trials will be held on 16th and then the team for the qualifiers will be announced.

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.
