These sports are: 1. Shooting 2. Wrestling 3. Badminton 4. Boxing 5. Hockey 6. Archery 7. Weightlifting 8. Athletics India has traditionally performed well at the Olympics in these disciplines. The rest like Judo, Swimming, etc. are just a waste of time at the Olympics. Let's have a guess from the participants about the number of medals we can get. I disagree with this view simply because we shouldn't measure our sporting pedigree by just medals but with progress as well. We being a developing nation are not able to invest much and with no accountability in various Sports Federations they have become political fiefdoms. Also public and media visibility is less other than for Cricket. But our mindset has changed in the last decade or so. Earlier, we were merely content with qualification; now we genuinely want to win the tournament.This feeling has seeped in our core sports like Cricket, Badminton, Hockey, Shooting, Wrestling and will slowly come in other sports as well. With each Olympics our contingent becomes larger but like a large nation like ours its still pathetic but at the same time slow and steady progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sajan's timing of 1:58.45 is well within the OST time of 2:01.03 but quite behind OQT of 1:57.50. Aryan's time of 15:59.47 is way outside of OST time of 15:28.02. Basically, all swimmers who achieve OQT (A standard) are guaranteed to be part of Olympics. If after inviting OQT swimmers, relay swimmers and Universality places, there are any additional quotas left, FINA starts inviting OST swimmers. So, in order to qualify through OST, one needs luck and needs to be close to OQT timing to be quite high up in the ranking list. Apart from Sajan, Kushagra Rawat and Advait Page have also achieved OST in 800m freestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinesh: it was on cards considering she has had difficulties in cutting down weight and has admitted to struggle. Remember 1st qualifying tournament during Rio 2016 where she failed to be under 48? Secondly, her decision of shifting to 53 (which she feels is natural body weight) seems justified for now. Only a couple of losses - one to Chinese whom she later defeated at Asian repechage and then Mukaida. So been doing pretty good so far, reaching two ranking tournament finals and bronze at Asians. Amit: As far as international tournaments go, he has participated in two and won both at 52. At Asians in April, he defeated Hasanboy (Gold at 49 in Rio) again, and before that the Chinese (Bronze at 52 in Rio). Also his level could be guaged from his domestic domination. At 52, we have some good boxers like Sachin, Gaurav... but Amit does stand apart. Hope that answers your question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
