    @Bad ;Any chances of getting Qualification in Weightlifting??

    Two Hockey teams have increased the number of competitors but overall so far the participation is poor. Badminton is not there so far. Tennis, Judo, Rowing? Only one in Boxing is a total sham.

    @reddevil87 ; Where do you see more chances of medal? Last time we got 6 medals.

    @munna219777 even that is in doubt unless the newly formed amateur boxing federation "Boxing Federation of India" can manage to set its house in order by 14th May. The election is on 8th May under the watchful eyes of AIBA, IOA and GOI.

    As far as I know we for the deadline isn't over for Badminton but don't expect much in men's section after their disastrous performance in the last three months.

    For tennis, we haven't had a single person who has qualified for Rio yet.. but I'm eager to hear about our Gymnasts (Dipa Karmakar and co)

    Guys,for Racquet Sports like Lawn Tennis,Badminton the qualification is not an event based.A predefined date is given in advance with certain specifications. Like to explain you guys I am giving a hypothetical example.Eg)It says, On 1st May 2016 the top 50 players in official rankings qualify for Rio Olympics.Thus,no one yet has qualified for in Tennis and Badminton yet.Only,on that date all those who follow under those specifications qualify.

    The Deadline date for Badminton is 5th May 2016.

    For Lawn Tennis it is 6th June 2016.

    About chances of medals (mostly bronze), in my opinion, we only have Badminton, Wrestling, Shooting and Hockey. Any other than these will be a surprise for us.

    Last time we got 6 medals. There is no way we can get more then 6. I am hoping for one in Wrestling, 2 in Shooting and one more surprise medal. At max 4 medals.
    We are just making up numbers in Athletics and Womens Hockey with no chance there.

    Yes no chance in athletics and womens hockey. But we have outside chance in Badminton and Men's hockey this time. And frankly speaking 6 medals last time was a big surprise too.

    Our Sports Minister is busy in Elections in Assam. Most of our Sports Associations are fighting within themselves for Association Elections or IPL style league. Central Government funding is mightily reduced. Yoy hardly see International events being organised in India. Whatever you see like SAF games or U-17 World Cup were sanctioned by previous Manmohn singh Government. We neither see many Sporting Events nor do we see training schedules abroad. I remeber our boxers used to be sent to Cuba. Now what happened? Wrestlers used to train in USA. Now they are saving themselves from injuries.
