What is the Qualification World Record score?

The Indian team holds the qualification World Record at 635.8 in 2023 in Cairo.

 

Both teams have underachieved. Bad start for Team India.

INDIA 1 AND 2 ELIMINATED!

Both Indian teams shown the exit door as Ramita and Babuta fall 1.0 point short of the medal matches’ cut-off. This is going to hurt!

We need Bhoi to step up

Mens rifle qualification doesn't seem to be going great either. 

[Kron]

China smashes all the less physically demanding sports. 

 

But they are also now good at boxing. They have a super heavyweight in top 5. 

 

Also they are good at weightlifting where we are pretty good too. 

 

China only doesn't fare well in mens wrestling at the heavier weight classes. 

 

Even swimming they do well. 

 

India will take another 20 25 years to catch up. Our economy is still behind.

China sweeps the floor in weightlifting, one filo women took a gold off the Chinese last time around , the euphoria after that was unmissable. 
 

India was nowhere to be seen. 

[neel roy]

Cheema blew it as expected. Now 14 from 3rd. Waste of taxpayers money

Only difference is Chinese and western countries have access to better masking agents and higher quality beds. That's the difference in reality.

 

When our gdp increases to the leve of China then we shall see marked changes
