Elavenil Valarivan wins Gold Medal in 10 m Air Rifle Event in Rio De Geniro World Cup.

Anjum finished 5th,Apurvi 11th or 12th.

India has already secured its two quota places in this event for Rio Olympics through Anjum Moudgil and Apurvi Chandela.

With this girl hitting top form,it will be interesting to see which two the NRAI will send to the the Olympics.

Most probably it should be Apurvi and Anjum but you never know.

National Athletics meet: Anjali Devi runs fastest 400m lap by an Indian (51.53 ) this season and won the gold. 

As per reports, she had an injury recently and this is her first competition event after her injury. Seems like this she is not consistent

Great news!!that means our 4*400 women's quatret will have two World class runners and our 4*400 mixed relay will also strengthen.

Also,two things to note here are:-

1) She is just 20yrs old,similar to Hima(she can improve a lot)
2) She had already qualified for the World Championships.

There is doping talks on Twitter going on but some journalists who are mostly Hima Das fanboys I guess. I hope she is clean.

Bad

Abhishek Verma wins Gold and Saurabh Chaudhary wins Bronze in Men's 10 m Air Pistol event(2 MEDALS in the same event) in the ongoing Shooting World Cup in Rio De Janeiro.

Both have already qualified so no quota places at stake for us in this event.

As far as Draw is concerned ,

For Men's Team - India should qualify.  South Korea, Malaysia, France are competitive. Ireland can be a tough team. Drawing against Pakistan will be Comedy of Errors !!

For Womens team, South Korea and USA will be very competitive. Home conditions should favour us.

Bad

Munna,I think it does not work like this.

Top 3 team will draw any of the Bottom 3 teams.

Eg)If rankings stay as it is then India will either draw Egypt/Austria/Pakistan.They can't draw anyone else.

My only question is that whether it is one match or two matches???
