3 World Cups in 2016, Pooja qualified in the finals in 2 of them and finished 4th in both, and finished 11th in the other one. While Ayonika and Apurvi were not even close to reaching the finals in any of the 3 World cup events this year, are we going to be stubborn like the archery team and not send Pooja in Rio? Come on guys, pick players in form.

Agreed. I would put him even ahead of Yogeshwar as a medal prospect. Yogeshwar did not participate in the world championships. So, it difficult to judge his chances.

 

For me, Babita is not a medal prospect. She had lost in 2 Olympic qualifying events. Vinesh is a medal prospect, although bit of a longshot.

Babita is also a World Championship medallist, she has medals from Asian Championships, SF appearances in Asian Games, and last year's Asian Championships definitely make her a medal contender. She has been performing well

The Shooting squad was announced in March, while some nations are yet to announce their squads, is there a possibility to get Pooja Ghatkar in the squad replacing maybe Ayonika? Guys let me know if you have any information. Very sad if Pooja doesn't go, a genuine in form medal prospect.

Her opponent was dopped! That was a fraud win so it doesn't take away credit from Babita.

If this is the case then Saina's Olympic medal was also due to the retirement of Xin. Here you'll say Saina deserved it because she proved to be fitter than her opponent.

Same way Babita was clean, her opponent wasn't

No Rohan, that's a separate thing, we exchanged Sanjeev's quota(3 pos) with Trap event and it had been passed. Here we have 2 quota in 10m air rifle, it's abt choosing the right athlete which our Federation has the complete right.
