Only Manika Batra made it to the last-32. Sharath led 2-0 and but lost 11-13 in the 5th to lose 2-3. Sreeja had one of the games where she led in multiple games but couldn't convert.

We have an injury in the men's 4x400 in the second leg. Not looking good for our Olympic qualification hopes.

Decent run by the 4*400 women to finish 5th in their heat. Pretty far from qualification but at least they ran close to their season best.

Very good run from Jyothika(?) in the 3rd leg.

13th fastest time amongst everyone so should have some chances tomorrow to qualify (6 more qualify tomorrow).

Terrible xi and fifteen. Another poor performance beckons and maybe this time, we finally get rid of Dravid, Rohit and Kohli.

She jumped 6.52 which isn't good enough.

Spinach Chitravel with a 17.12 in the triple jump.

Manu DP with a 81.91 in the javelin which is below the qualification mark for the Olympics.

This also means if Manu or Esha are sent for both pistol events and we repurpose the quota spot, we could have 2 mixed skeet teams. I also thought of the same ( exchange womens pistol for mens skeet) but found that quota exchange is allowed only within same gender. So, we cannot have second shooter...

Phenomenal achievement from the men.

Dhiraj as far as qualifying rounds go is matching Deepika at her peak by consistently finishing in the top 4-5 and he will be at the Olympics.

What will Deepika’s ranking and team ranking be after this WC?

She won a silver - tied for 1st but lost the shoot off.

21st quota achieved.

This also means if Manu or Esha are sent for both pistol events and we repurpose the quota spot, we could have 2 mixed skeet teams.

We will make quarters in the Uber cup as well. Singapore has one good player Yeo Jia Min who is WR #19 but rest of the team is pretty weak.

The men will qualify to the last 8 easily, will have to beat Indonesia to top the group and avoid Denmark.

Today's fixtures
Uber cup : India vs Canada
Thomas cup : India vs Thailand

Not just that, Anmol is out of form / has been found out a bit and as with many young players will need to adapt. She is not the unknown commodity she was earlier in the year. Anmol in her form earlier in the year would have given us some hopes to beat Canada and Singapore who are both very weak tea...

sameer - we should update the predictions this weekend.

all - does anyone have any recommendations for Indian sport non-profit/charities or have any contacts with them (like OGQ for example)?

Seems like WFI will hold fresh trials before the final Olympic qualifiers which is good.

No one even close to a quota spot in trap.

We don't really have much except Chopra anyway. And, that too is in threat from a 20-year old German. But, I think Chopra will still hold. Murali reaching the finals of an Olympics would be a better achievement than some of the doubles performances in tennis challengers we celebrate on here. His in...
