Current Ranking: 1

Event: Mens Doubles, Badminton

 

Medal Hopes: High, Gold/Silver/Bronze

 

While they have not yet earned a quota to the Olympics - as the cycle is still on - barring injury, they should have a guaranteed place in the Indian contingent to the Olympics.

 

The premier mens' doubles team in Badminton atm - they should have a good shot at a medal at Paris. A lot of course is dependent on their fitness and form as well. Unfortunately, unlike the other Badminton powerhouses they are the only capable Doubles team atm which means that they are the sole hopes for the country in this event. 

 

They seem to have prospered a lot from Mattias Boe's mentorship who will continue to mentor them until Paris. Hopefully the go from strength to strength from here onwards.

I was able to see golds in 1975 WC and 1980 olympics (latter comes with asterisk), and I would love to see this sight just once again.

Shooting camp underway in Korea before the Asian shooting championship. 17 quota places out of 24 possible up for grabs in Korea. So far India has got 7. Unlike other sports, a shooter wins a quota place for their country. The shooting federation can choose the appropriate shooter before the Olympics.

Indian shooters have have shown mixed form in the Asian shooting championships after their performances at the Asian Games. Main intention was to secure as many quotas as possible for the Olympics. 

 

5 quotas have been secured so far with a couple of days of Skeet shooting to go. There are a total of 24 possible quotas (2 per max in 12 events) out of which India currently has 12. We have maxed qualifications in the Mens 10m air rifle, Mens 50m rifle 3 positions and Womens 10m air rifle. The pistol shooters still have a ways to go. 

 

All our inform pistol shooters (esp the women) had a bad Asian Championships. Will need to wait till Jan for a second shot at qualifying for the Olympics.

 

Although the names below show who won the quota, they do not necessarily need to represent India at the Olympics. That will be decided by form before the event.

Womens 25m Pistol (1)

Mens trap (1)
