Re: Indian Wrestling Thread ...

No quota in Greco Roman. Only Sunil Kumar won a round and lost in QF against Asian games champion from Uzbekistan.

Yes, mens freestyle is a worry. Do not see those 2 medals of last time getting repeated. Nobody has even qualified as yet. Need to make up for those in womens wrestling;

Re: North American Challengers 2024

^^^ Rithvik never played singles on pro tour. He was decent in singles in juniors but went to US college at 17 and than disappeared from singles.

Re: Indian Shooting thread

Final olympic qualfiers for shotgun begins today in Doha, Qatar. Here we have so far only 4 of the 8 possible quotas- 1 each in mens and womens trap and 1 each mens and womens skeet. So, can aim for remaining 4 quotas here. But, realistically would be happy even if we get 1-2 quotas here.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Balraj Panwar qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by finishing third in Men's Single Scull final at the World Rowing Asia/Oceania Olympic Qualifying Regatta in Chungju, South Korea.

So, first and only quota in rowing for us as I think qualifying is done.

Re: Outage

Thanks a lot Dhruv for resolving this. We are so used to visiting and posting on forum every day that being down even for 1 day means something is missing. Great that you are always around in such situations to resolve these type of outages.
