Thanks a lot Dhruv for being there for us and taking your time to work on the forum from time to time.

India lost that match against Indonesia 1-3. Than, we got a tough QF against China where we again lost 1-3 and our title defense ended there. Some positive points from that match is Prannoy stretched world #2 Shi Yu Qui to 3 games and Lakshya beat world #6 Li Shi Feng. World #3 Satchi lost to world ...

Tkacheva also reached the final last week. So, she is in great form for last 2 weeks. Vaishnavi has a tough match on hand.

Tough match going on between India and Indonesia.

Prannoy finally has a good win after some time against world #7 Ginting 19-21 21-12 21-12 but Satchi lost in a close one against world # 9 Indonesian pair 22-24, 24-22, 19-21.

Lakhsya Sen down a game 18-21 against world #3 Jonathan Christie.

Bops and Ebden lost in first round at Madrid against the pair of Korda and Jordan Thompson 67(4) 57.

They had made the final here last year. So, with that points drop off, Bops has gone down to #4 in live rankings.

He starts with a good win in doubles. At the Guangzhou Challenger 75, China (Hard) [R1] Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND) / Ray Ho (TPE) d. Mattia Bellucci (ITA) / Moez Echargui (TUN) 62 63 They play the top seeds next. [QF] Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND) / Ray Ho (TPE) vs. (1) Callum Puttergill (AUS) / Resse St...

7 players but 5 entries. 2 doubles team I have considered as 2 and not 4. Otherwise, hockey will be 16 players. if we have to count number of athletes it should ultimately go above 100 including mens hockey team.

Updated the qualifiers list in first post. Total of 55 qualifiers- 21 in shooting, 9 in Athletics, 5 in Badminton, 6 in Table tennis, 4 each in Boxing and Wrestling, 2 in sailing, 1 each in Hockey, Rowing, Archery and Equestrian. At Tokyo olympics there were 76 Indian qualifiers. Looks like we are l...

Yeah its unlikely Samson will make it in the starting XI. They are likely to play Pant instead. The best XI given this squad will be Rohit, Jaiswal, Samson, SKY, Dube, Pandya, Jadeja, Axar, Bumrah, Kuldeep and Arshdeep. However they will bring Pant in place of Samson. I don't know at whose expense ...

Currently Shaili seems stuck between 6.40 and 6.55M although she has gone above that only a couple of times last year. Automatic qualification standard is very high for Paris at 6.86M which requires breaking Anju's national record. Do not think Shaili is ready to do that so soon. So, her best chance...

Our womens team lost to China 5-0 as expected in last group match and finish second in the group.

Men play Indonesia in last group match to decide group topper.

Manas lost in first round of main draw.

At M25 in Santa Margherita di Pula, Italy (clay)

[R1] (Q) Manas Dhamne (IND,1344) l. Kai Wehnelt (GER,602) 57 26

So, unfortunately no points for getting a couple of decent wins in the qualifying.

Till last April-May, Shaili was showing great progress, jumped a big 6.76M in April in India and than 6.65M in May in Japan. But, since than has gone down. Jumped 6.48M in Asian games to finish 5th. Not yet qualified for Olympics. I read today only she is participating in some event in India. Lets s...
