No NR but best Indian timing. NR counts only if done in Indian competition only. Bizarre but true. 

Another 5 out of 7 events India best timing achieved today, NR in short course, this is amazing, Srihari timed 53.63s in 100m bk in long course OQT is 53.83s, really great news in swimming, anticipating the real rise of this key sport in India.

The timings in Short course are generally way faster than Long course.

Yeah specially in the long distance ones, but there's reason to be excited about our swimming now, they are breaking NRs like anything definite to improve in Long course too.

What difference does a short or longer pool make in swimming make if the distance to be covered and the number of laps are the same.

Smaller pool means more turns so effectively more energy is transferred back to the swimmer hence faster time.

Yes the 50m short course record is normally couple of seconds less than long  course in the shorter races and that difference only becomes more in the longer races......... 

So without taking anything away from srihari or virdhawal...... I do not consider this any marked improvement

We have achieved 18 NRs in short course with 1 day to go in this event. Likith have also created 3 NRs like Srihari, I don't think Khade has improved though. If its not an overall improvement our Swimmers must have always done very poorly in short course swimming in the past.

Or rather many have not participated in Short course recently at all

Manav Vikash Thakkar wins U21 Men's Singles event of ITTF Challenge in Canada. Only Harmeet Desai, Sathiyan and Soumyajit Ghosh won an U21 singles event before. He also reached the quarterfinals of the senior singles event.

All bodes well for crucial TT team qualification next month. India is already ranked 8th in Olympic Men's Team ranking and will be ranked 4th in the team qualifiers if it was held today.

Jan 2020 rankings shall be considered for seedings in team qualifications

If TT qualifications ended today the team qualifications would be :

 

Men : :IND Vs :ROU in final round

 

I guess it would be :ROU Qualifying 

 

Either we need to improve brilliantly above Sweden  to face :NGR 

 

Or perform little badly to face :BEL or :SLO Which is easier 

 

 

Women

We'll be clubbed with :SWE and :KOR 

 

No chance whatsoever.We need to be consistently perform badly and go down by 2 spots. 

Then we'll have :PUR and :SGP as higher ranked teams above us. 

 

It's difficult but that's the only possibility where we can come close to a good fight.
