@Sinhombre, if you are updating Olympics projections, need to upgrade mens archery team as they beat powerhouse Korea in Shanghai world cup and are almost sure to qualify now for Paris.

Yes, we easily beat Singapore 4-1 to make it to the QF.

20 year Ishrani Baruah also looks a talented youngster apart from Anmol, Tanvi Sharma and Unnati Hooda.

Our mens recurve team stun Korean team which consisted of those who were part of Olympic gold medal winning team 5-1 to win gold at Shanghai world Cup. Apart from gold, it also raises our ranking points and we are now 12 points ahead of the other teams who have not qualified yet for Paris Olympics. ...

Just saw that W100 Gufu, Japan qualifying starts only on Monday. So, Rutuja should be able to make it there safely.

Btw, in live rankings, Rutuja moves ahead of Ankita as India #2 in doubles - Rutuja at #225 and Ankita at #235. Prarthana is India #1 at #150.

A nice interview by Nikhil Naz that just came up a few hours ago. I loved it. It seems to be from this week, after he decided to skip the next couple of weeks. He did not say he was going to Germany, but he was still waiting for the passport to come from the UK embassy/HC but said "maybe Rome;...

Our men too start with an easy 4-1 win against Thailand only loss being Prannoy losing to Kunlavut in the first match. Both SatChi and Lakshya were stretched to 3 games though. Women play Singapore tomorrow in a key match which will decide if we can go thru to at least QF which will be a good achiev...

Yes, we have seen once it gets included in olympics, others will start doing much better than us.

Our womems team beat Canada 4-1 in first match with excellent sin by Ashmita Chaliha over Michelle Lee in first singles.

4 golds and a silver for us in compound archery for us in Shanghai world Cup. Can we somehow get compound archery in Olympics?

Recurve men and Deepika Kumari have their matches tomorrow.

Quiang Wang who beat Rutuja in the second round has gone on to reach the final. In the meantime, Rutuja along with New Zelandar Paige Hourigam won the doubles title beating third seeded Taiwanese pair in the final. Looks like her first doubles title of the year. Rutuja is listed in singles qualifyin...

Arnav Paparkar lost in a close match 67 63 36 in the SF at J60 in Doha.

With 18 points. Arnav will move inside top 400 and just sneaks into India top 10 in ITF junior rankings.

Thomas and Uber cup begins tomorrow in Chengdu, China. As put in some other thread I think we are playing our best team in thomas cup trying to defend our title but for uber up we are playing without Sindhu and our top 2 doubles teams.

We play Thailand in Thomas cup and Canada in Uber cup.

^^^ Digivijay has been injured and has not played since last October. Hope he is getting better and is waiting for his protected ranking to kick in before starting again on pro tour. Manish has totally lost after a start where he looks like our next top 250-300 level player at least a few year back ...

First world cup of the year is currently ongoing at Shanghai. As usual our compound archers are doing well. They have reached 3 finals- Mens team, Womens team and Mixed team and Jyoti Surekha Vennam and Priyansh have reached individual semi finals. But, good news from recurve side is Deepika Kumar w...
