Re: Paris Olympics 2024

^^ Right but the fact that Gracenote could never get it right in the curious case of India may continue to hold in 2024 too. So there is every chance India may beat their expectations for a change! We are getting near to full quota of 24 in shooting this time, with already 19 just 3 below the Chines...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Not that Gracenote has predicted India's Olympic outcomes correctly anytime before, but just to take cognizance of the fact they published an updated virtual table on Feb29th. https://www.nielsen.com/news-center/2024/virtual-medal-table-forecast/ Gracenote thinks India got 7 medals at Tokyo but it m...

Re: Preparing for Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Yesterday there was a remarkable judgement delivered by supreme court that the current electoral bond system implemented by Modi government from 2017 is unconstitutional. Leaving aside the merits or demerits of such judgment in fixing the corruption, the judgment itself was ground breaking because i...

Re: Anirudh Chandrasekar/ N. Vijay Sundar Prashanth Thread

What Sanskrit? They are a couple of Chennai Chaps. Sanskrit is an alien language for the Dravida region. But Prachanda means "passionate, fierce, hot" etc - so that is fitting. Just curious. Are Chandrasekhar and Prashanth words that come from Dravidian roots or Sanskrit? Well, Prachanda ...

Re: indian football

I mean EVERYWHERE except the Indian subcontinent. Till we solve the playing area issue (which is connected to kids' interest too, somewhat), we won't get anywhere. how can we be missing out China ? Indian sub continent and China put together form more than 1/3 of world population(actually about 40%...

Re: indian football

Good article thanks for sharing. Most of the points raised make sense. The one which talks about early initiation to sport is a double edged weapon though. For example, Indian hockey players get initiated to the game very early on but on surfaces that are non-standard like playgrounds with grass etc...

Re: Indian Shooting thread

^^ Yes. As you mentioned Chinese shooters have earned most of their quota from quality events. I suspect most of their A-team may be taking time off by not attending this Asian rifle and pistol event and planning to peak in time for Olympics. Not sure if NRAI thinks on those lines to train the shoot...

Re: Indian Shooting thread

Good to see India closing the gap with China in qualifications. China 19 and India have 16. Inspite of the narrow gap in quota places, we may still not be that good as China when to comes to actual Olympics but having more quota should improve the possibility of at least a medal. So i would expect t...
