Aman, Deepak eye Paris ticket as World Qualifier to kick-off on Thursday
CHENNAI: A total of 14 Indian wrestlers (six each in men's freestyle and Greco-Roman) and two in women's wrestling will be in action when the World Olympic Games Qualifier, the last chance to earn Paris ticket, begins in Istanbul on Thursday. As many as four women wrestlers (Vinesh Phogat 50kg, Antim Panghal 53kg, Anshu Malik 57kg and Reetika Hooda 76kg) have earned an Olympic quota each but for the first time in almost two decades, none of the male grapplers have managed a place for the country in the 2024 Games so far. Hopes were high when the men wrestlers competed at the Asian Olympic Games Qualifier in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, last month but none of them could manage to reach the final, which could have secured the country Olympic quotas. Sujeet Kalkal (65kg) and Deepak Punia (86kg), who got stranded at the Dubai International Airport and could reach the venue only after the weigh-in, did not compete. The Indian team comprising 13 wrestlers, eight coaches and three physiotherapists along with the Wrestling Federation of India president Sanjay Kumar Singh flew for Istanbul on Tuesday morning. Deepak (86kg) is learnt to have flown for the venue on Sunday. The competition will begin with bouts in Greco-Roman followed by women's wrestling on Friday. The men freestyle wrestlers' competition will begin on Saturday. As per the criteria, the finalists apart from the winner of the play-off between two bronze medallists in each weight category will earn the quota. Challenges in freestyle All eyes will be on Aman Sehrawat (57kg), Sujeet (65kg), Deepak Punia (86kg) and Sumit Malik (125kg) in the men's freestyle. Aman might have failed to reach the final in the Asian Qualifier but he could be India's brightest prospect in Istanbul. The 2023 Asian Games bronze medallist, however, will have to face tough challenges from Tokyo Olympian Georgi Vangelov of Bulgaria, world silver medallist Alireza Sarlak of Iran and Muhammet Karavus, the local favourite. If that was not enough, Spencer Lee of the USA, former U-17 and U-20 world champion, will be in Istanbul, making his comeback to international tournament eight years after world title in U-20. Aman, the 2022 U-23 world champion, will also have to go past world bronze medallists Zanabazar Zandabud of Mongolia and German Horst Lehr. Han Chong Song, the 2023 Asian Games silver medallist is also in the fray. Sujeet, who missed the Asian Qualifier, will be raring to go this time. Like, Aman he too will face stiff competitions from Zain Allen Retherford of the USA, the 2022 world silver medallist and other wrestlers from China, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Local favourite Soner Demirtas, the 2016 Rio Olympic bronze medallist and two-time world bronze medallist, will be one of the big threats for India's Jaideep in 74kg. Tokyo Olympian Deepak too has to overcome challenges from quite a few wrestlers including Magomed Eldarovitch Ramazanov of Bulgaria, who won gold in the first Ranking Series in Zagreb and Magomed Sharipov of Bahrain. The latter had recently lost to Deepak in the 2023 Asian Games. Punia's namesake, Deepak, who will compete in 97kg, will have to counter challenge from Nishan Preet Singh Randhawa of Canada. The Canadian defeated Deepak in the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Sumit Malik, who qualified for the Tokyo Games but had to sit out as he was tested positive for banned substances, will again try his luck in the 125kg. His biggest rival will be Zhiwei Deng of China. The veteran Chinese wrestler already has two world medals (silver in 2018 and bronze in 2019) apart from the 2018 Asian Games silver in his kitty. The rivalry of Sumit with Aiaal Lazarev of Kyrgyzstan can go to next level as the latter will be one of the contenders in 125kg. He defeated Sumit in the 2023 Asian Games by technical superiority. Earlier, the Indian had beaten him in the qualification round in the 2021 World Olympic Games Qualifier. Lazarev finished third in the qualifier but earned the ticket for the Tokyo Games as Sumit failed the dope test. Chinese threat to women wrestlers Mansi (62kg) and Nisha Dahiya (68kg) will try to leave behind their respective losses at the Asian qualifying event and make it six out of six for the country in women's wrestling for the Paris Games. Once again, the duo will have to face strong fight from their rivals especially the Chinese wrestlers. For Mansi, Jia Long from China can be one of the toughest rivals. The Chinese had won silver in the 2022 Worlds apart from winning Asian Championships gold in the next year. Veranika Ivanova competing as individual neutral athlete, Lais Nunes from Brazil and Mariana Cherdivara of Moldova could be other challengers. Similarly, Chinese Feng Zhou could be Nisha's biggest competitor. Zhou, the three-time Asian Games gold medallist and two-time world medallist (2018 bronze and 2015 silver), will be geared up to win the elusive Olympic medal. Wrestlers from other countries like Azerbaijan, Bulgaria and Canada would be other challengers for Nisha. Besides, Indian Greco-Roman wrestlers including Sumit (60kg) and Sunil (87kg) will also be hoping for a good show in the qualifier. India squad Freestyle Aman (57kg), Sujeet (65kg), Jaideep (74kg), Deepak Punia (86kg), Deepak (97kg), Sumit (125kg) Women Mansi (62kg), Nisha (68kg) Greco-Roman Sumit (60kg), Ashu (67kg), Vikas (77kg), Sunil (87kg), Nitesh (97kg), Naveen (130kg)

Making strides, serving victory in TT tournaments
CHENNAI: Passion and skill are two important aspects for any player. But when you have the right coach who understands your strengths and weaknesses, you win games. MR Balamurugan, a talented teenager who has been making rapid strides in the table tennis scene, improved his game ever since he graduated to train under ace coach and former India player S Raman at Raman TT High Performance Center (RTTHPC). Along with winning individual games, he has also made a mark by winning national and international meets. Currently, this 16-year-old is ranked No 1 in India in the Under-17 category. A student of Maharishi Vidhya Mandir, Chetpet, Chennai (NIOS), Balamurugan got into the sport at the age of seven, following in the footsteps of his sister who was a table tennis player. My elder sister used to play table tennis. After some tournaments, she used to discuss how she won the match. She was appreciated a lot at home and this grabbed my attention and propelled me to play table tennis, he added. What started as a mere exercise soon became a passion. In my formative years, I joined table tennis for physical and mental fitness, but subsequently as time progressed I developed a passion for it. I felt table tennis was an extraordinary game that improved my memory, ability, critical thinking, and strategic planning. Physically it helped in eye coordination, faster reflexes, and body movement, said Balamurugan. He first trained at MAK Table Tennis Academy and his first coach was Ashok Kumar. Like every other TT star that emerged from the state, Balamurugan took part in various tournaments organised by the Tamil Nadu Table Tennis Association. These tourneys are said to give players good exposure and also help them prepare for the nationals. My first win was the first State Ranking tournament in 2016 where I won in the Mini-Cadets category. But it was the National Championship held in Goa in 2017, where our team won the gold medal in the Cadet Boys category by beating the defending champions West Bengal team in the final which was a neck-to-neck match. I was appreciated by my fellow association members and players for the best performance in the tournament. This encouraged me to take up table tennis seriously, he shared. There has been a great improvement in his game and skill sets since he began training under noted coach S Raman at his academy in 2020. I did this to get high-standard training under experienced coaches to improve my game and compete with national and international level players. S Raman sir and R Bhuvaneshwari have been very helpful. In fact, under them, I got to improve my skill sets and learnt to use strategies during matches. My practice sessions became more useful and I could develop a good mindset, said Balamurugan. After his RTTHPC stint, the medals tally improved by leaps and bounds for this youngster as he had a better understanding of his game. From winning state titles in a singles category I managed to bag multiple, consecutive titles at international and national level meets. From playing in competitions in the same age group I graduated and started to win titles in the mens category. I bagged several medals at the South Asian championships. In the WTT Youth Contender in U-15 boys singles, 2022 at Cairo, Egypt, I got a silver medal. In 2023 at the UTT National Ranking I got a gold medal at the championship played at various venues, he said. With table tennis now being termed a speed sport, Balamurugan gives equal importance to fitness as he does to his game. He trains under Basu Shankar, the former trainer of the India cricket team. He most recently showcased his talent at the Table Tennis Super League held at Ampa Skywalk Mall on May 4 and 5.

Record relay: Men and women's teams secure Oly qualification in 4*400m
CHENNAI: Things did not begin the way India had envisioned at the World Athletics Relay in the Bahamas. The first day had a heartbreak when one of the quartet in the men's 4x400m runner had to pull out due to cramps. No time was recorded. That meant it was left for the final day to ensure they don't miss out on a spot at the Paris Olympic Games on Sunday. The top 14 in seven heats qualify for the Olympics. Remaining two slots will be reserved for the WA top list that closes on June 30, the last day of qualification window. The surprise pack, however, was the qualification of the women's team in 4x400m. The Athletics Federation of India had been saying that the women's team is a work in progress but the quartet of Rupal Chaudhary, Jyothika Sri Dandi, MR Poovamma, and Subha Venkatesan managed a second finish with a modest timing of 3:29.35s. They finished behind Jamaica and were helped by a German mix-up. For India, the focus was on the men's team because of their stunning performance at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest last year. The team had created quite a sensation by clocking the best time by an Indian quarter and also setting an Asian record with a timing of 2:59.05s and finishing fifth in the final. Injured Rajesh Ramesh's slot was filled by veteran Arokiya Rajeev who joined Muhammed Anas, Amoj Jacob and Muhammed Ajmal in the seven-team heats. The United States, who were disqualified on Saturday, was clubbed with India in Heat One along with Mexico, Bahamas, Qatar and Kenya. The Dominican Republic did not start. Qatar did not finish and Mexico, Kenya and Bahamas finished below India, who clocked season's best of 3:03.23s. Even for the US, 2:59.95 was an SB. The results were on expected lines, said Athletics Federation of India president Adille Sumariwalla, adding India would have anyway qualified based on their world championships performance last year. The men's team ran very well. We finished behind the US. Otherwise we would have finished on top. He felt that the result assumes significance because as top two finishers in the heat they have ensured Paris tickets. This also shows that we are within striking distance in the world, he told this daily from the Bahamas. We are among the top and if everything goes off well on a good day with good baton exchange and running we can win a medal. He said that they were not worried after Rajesh Ramesh was injured. We had a substitute, he said. The whole idea is to get good exposure for the men's team, said Sumariwalla. They should get good competition and feel of the event. Even the US clocked 2:29.95s. We have enough time, about two and half months, to improve and we will definitely do well. The AFI chief however said he was disappointed that the team did not qualify for the final. Only the top two teams from four heats on Saturday were eligible to run in the final. Sumariwalla still thinks that the women's team is still a work in progress. Good thing is that they qualified, he said. We are still working on the women's team. The timing was modest and now with more time we will definitely improve. He also said that they have not fixed the final four runners as of now either. The two runners Subha Venkatesan and Jyothika Sri are more or less fixed, but the other two places can be filled by the best runners, which we identify later closer to the Games, he said. Rupal, Aishwarya (Mishra), Vithya Ramraj and MR Poovamma are also getting back into form. We will see. As for mixed, the AFI chief said that they would look to qualify at Asian meet (relays) later this month. I am sure we will qualify through timing and go to Paris, he said.
Relay star wants to set an example for Indian athletes
'if my body is giving me company why should I stop the sport? Some foreign athletes run till 35 or 37. So I wanted to set an example for other athletes that age does not matter,' says MR Poovamma, Arjuna Awardee and the senior-most member of the Paris Olympics-bound Indian women's 4x400m relay team.

Brittney Griner still adjusting after Russian prison ordeal. WNBA star details experience in book
Brittney Griner continues her efforts to settle into a normal routine following her release from a Russian prison 17 months ago. Life isnt what it once was for the perennial WNBA All-Star. It may never be. The 6-foot-8 center looks different and has different priorities. Gone are her familiar dreadlocks that couldnt be maintained during her incarceration. She regularly sees a therapist to help her cope after being imprisoned for 10 months. And since her release, Griner has been an advocate for the return of other Americans being detained overseas. She has met with President Joe Biden twice since her release, including once last month in Phoenix. Got to talk to him about a couple of people and just keep it on the forefront of everyones mind, the Phoenix Mercury star said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. You want to get exposure and that keeps it on the forefront of peoples minds, Keep people accountable. Griner was detained at a Moscow airport in February 2022. Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis. She shares details about the harrowing experience in her new book Coming Home which comes out Tuesday. Griner hopes one takeaway for anyone who reads the book will be a vivid picture of what detainees have to endure. She said its why it took her all of last season to write it with Michelle Burford. I didnt leave anything out from the detainment, to being over there, the conditions. As much as we could fit into a book, we basically did, Griner said. People will be shocked at some of the things. I hope it brings a little bit more of an understanding to the conditions that detainees go through. Griner says it is important people have a clear picture of what its like for those Americans not home yet, including Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich, so that no one gives up the fight. It took everyone to come together to bring me home, she said. Government officials have to make really hard decisions. Griner, who first met President Biden at the White House Correspondents dinner in 2023 a few months after her return to the US, said she and her WNBA teammates must keep the momentum going to get everyone home. How are we going to do it? Bringing in families, playing videos, give them airtime? she said. Maybe someone that doesnt know, sees (the book) and they write a letter to congress that tips over the scale to get someone home. Griner said her days of playing basketball overseas during the WNBA offseason are over. Though many WNBA players still play in international leagues to supplement their league salaries, Griner said she is done, except with USA Basketball. She hopes to be on the Olympic team at the Paris Games this summer, and the odds are in her favor that will happen. Griner had played in China for a few years during the WNBA offseason, before making the move to Russia where she had played since 2015 before her arrest. Its not just her ordeal in Russia, however, that is going to keep her home. Griners wife, Cherelle, is expecting the couples first child. The only time Ill go overseas is with Team USA, Griner said. I need to be in the states. About to be a parent. Last thing I want to do is be in and out of my kids life. I want to be there for everything. I dont want to uproot my family and take them overseas with me. Its too much. Griner, who has been an advocate for mental health for the past decade, said she sees a therapist regularly something she did for several years before she went to Russia and it helps her process what she endured while in prison. They are instrumental to my mental health, Griner said about her sessions. Everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to. Someone outside of their every day life. It just helps to have a different perspective on life from someone. That way if you do feel nervous or struggling with something, its very beneficial. The 33-year-old took a mental health break for several days last year during the WNBA season, missing three games. Shell begin her 12th year in the league May 14. Griner is looking forward to it after the welcome she received in her return last year. One of the only positives that Griner will take away from her ordeal was the outpouring of support she received from people in the form of letters they wrote to her in prison. The letters were amazing from the fans, teammates, opponents, GMs, they all meant so much to me, she said. It was very dark at times, especially going through the trial. When I was in isolation for weeks, it was an emotional rollercoaster and those letters made me remember that I wasnt forgotten.

Shotgun shooters look to make the most of World event
CHENNAI: The elite shotgun shooters from the country are currently taking part in the ISSF World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan. There are no Olympic quotas on offer but the event holds a fair amount of significance as the shooters will be looking to garner the Qualification Ranking for Olympic Games (QROG) points. One of ISSF's (world governing body) eligibility criteria is that the shooters must e listed in the Qualification Ranking for the Olympic Games (QROG) with at least one ranking point achieved for each of the individual events they are to be entered for at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Apart from the national ranking, the National Rifle Association of India, the governing body of the sport in the country, will also consider QROG while determining the shooters for Paris Games. As per NRAI's amended selection criteria, which was published in April last year, he best 3 results from Olympic Trials 1, 2, 3 & 4 will select teams for the 2024 Olympic Games. The said trails have already been conducted. The first two trials were held in New Delhi in December while the third trial was held in Patiala in February-March. The final trials were held in Bhopal. As per tentative ranking, which was published after the trials, Prithviraj Tondaiman tops the charts in the men's trap discipline while quota earner Bhowneesh Mendiratta is ranked third. Both of them are part of the Baku event, which also features shooters from rifle and pistol discipline. Prithviraj was placed at 48th spot after the three rounds of qualification stage on Saturday while the latter was 10 spots ahead of him. As per the QROG on April 4, Prithviraj is the best-ranked Indian at No 14 with 6796 rating. Bhowneesh is at 18th spot with 5833 rating. Maheshwari Chauhan, who recently sealed a second quota for India in the women's skeet discipline, was ranked third after the aforementioned Olympic trials but that was before she won the quota. She is due to get a bonus for winning the quota. Ganemat Sekhon, who's also due to take part in Baku, is placed second behind Raiza Dhillon, the other quota winner, in the national ranking. As per the latest QROG, Ganemat is No 19 with 4784 rating while Maheshwari and Raiza are 43rd and 51st, respectively. It is an important event (Baku). The shooters will be looking to gain ranking points. That will also be taken into consideration while finalising the team, K Sultan Singh, NRAI secretary general, said. The NRAI is likely to announce the team for the Olympics after the Lonato World Cup, which is scheduled to be held in June. Moreover, the two World Cups will give shooters a big opportunity to gain some exposure ahead of Paris. The shotgun shooters have done well to earn five quotas. It's a massive chance for the shooters as it's a high-quality field. They will get a chance to gauge the field and learn, Singh said. It will be interesting to see what progress they make before the NRAI announces the team for the Olympics.
