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.

The Indian shooters have managed to qualify for all 15 Shooting events for Paris. Pretty great effort so far. Hopefully, they come away with a few medals including golds. So far the shooters have shown good progress. Need to peak near the Olympics though. 

 

Big week for Indian Baminton this week - https://khelnow.com/badminton/2024-02-badminton-asia-team-championships-2024-womens-title-favourites

 

Will know where PV Sindhu stands wrt her recovery since October.

She has done very well in her come back so far. Won 3 lost one in Indian women's trip to the finals (including one against a Chinese ranked #8).

 

Indian women one win away from winning the championships. Men bowed out in the QFs with a hard fought loss vs the Japanese. Chirag-Satwik didn't play this tournament. Prannoy and Lakhsya Sen hoping to cement their places in the Paris Olympics in the next few tourneys.

@Gollum, I see that this thread exists. but it (i.e., the thread) is short and meagre, like a malnourished worm

 

Few months to go for the main event. Also, not too many ppl seem to care till during the event.

IPL is staring- unfortunately for the aam janta, Olympics is bottom of the ladder when it comes to priority way after IPL

Sad, but true. I understand that this is ICF -- with "C" for cricket -- and that our medal chances are not that high this time, but it's still sad to see this thread be so meagre
