   AFI realized its mistake

Reo Olympic opening ceremony 2016 

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has realized its mistake of not including individual 400m runners in its 4x400m relay teams for Rio.

Due to not named the individual runners, Muhammed Anas and Nirama Sheoran in the relay teams in an obvious attempt to include more athletes, the AFI came to know on Wednesday that rules do not permit such a method. A relay team is allowed to name a maximum of six athletes.

The rules, framed and circulated back in December, 2015, state that in the event of individual athletes being entered in corresponding relay events they will necessarily have to be included in the list of maximum of six athletes in a relay team.

Accordingly, AFI realized its mistake, Selectors dropped the idea of deciding who between Jithin Paul and Lalit Mathur and between Priyanka Panwar and Anu Raghavan should be chosen.

A fresh problem seemed to have cropped up on Wednesday since Mathur staked his claim on performance ahead of Sumit Kumar, the fifth member named in the original team.

There was also some debate about whether Ashwini Akkunji or Anu Raghavan was better in their performance through this season, in competitions in Poland and India.

Tintu Luka, having been entered in the 800m would be available for the women’s team in Rio.

A team can enlist the services of any member of the entire squad in case it required a replacemen

Indian players in Reo olympics are very hope full as they bring six medals in London and are expected to increase their tally here. As the athletes come together for the opening ceremony, they will get a sense of being in a team before the real deal begins.

The Indian archers, who will not be present with the rest of the cast, will already have their work cut out on August 5 itself. The opening ceremony is often the platform where each nation shows its might, where the bigger the number of athletes for a country, the stronger you come across as a team.
