Snapshot Stats: Pioneers or Placeholders?

It is not appropriate to mock the efforts of a skater clearly trying their best in a high-pressure situation, particularly that of a skater with limited training resources, as is the case with one young woman competing at JGP Australia.

But India, which has been an active ISU member since 2003, has already had at least one trailblazer lady in (American-born) Ami Parekh, who competed at 4CC three times and Worlds twice. Parekh trained in the US, as have some others on the list below among the better-scoring contingent, and this – training in a more skating-rich country than India currently is – is obviously key. No non-skating country has even the incentive to develop a program without significant success, and that success can’t come from limited ice time and limited coaching resources. (See the growth of skating achievement among southeast Asian competitors – and how many log time in the US and Canada. Indonesia’s Maria Blessia here had her own jump struggles, but notice the differences when you compare performance level and choreography.)

It’s also important to note that India has been participating in the JGP essentially since its entry to the ISU:

2016: Krishna Sai Rahul Eluri (22nd men, JGP Japan – total 13.09) Ananya Murthy Thiruvallam (22nd ladies, JGP Japan – total 15.54)

2015: Shreya Saha Dalal (26th ladies, JGP USA – total 51.70)

2014: Nikhil Pingle (22nd men, JGP Japan – total 32.27; 25th men, JGP Croatia – total 38.13)

2013: Anavi Tekriwal (assigned to JGP Mexico, ladies; withdrew) Nikhil Pingle (23rd, JGP Czech Skate – total 27.04)

2012: Andrew Fernandes (assigned to JGP Istanbul, men; withdrew)

2010: Yoniko Eva Washington (30th ladies, JGP Czech – total 73.60)

2009: Hounsh Munshi (26th ladies, JGP USA – total 53.99) Andrew Fernandes (assigned to JGP Istanbul; withdrew) Candida Damietta Fernandes (33rd ladies, JGP Istanbul – total 26.63)

2008: Yoniko Eva Washington (28th, JGP France – total 73.71; 24th, JGP Great Britain – total 79.95) Andrew Fernandes (31st, JGP Italy – total 44.35) Candida Damietta Fernandes (36th, JGP Italy – total 35.31) Hounsh Munshi (25th, JGP Mexico – total 60.94)

2007: Amar Mehta (15th men, JGP USA – total 70.55. Note: also competed at 2007 Junior Worlds) Andrew Fernandes (27th, JGP Great Britain – total 37.14) Hounsh Munshi (assigned to JGP USA, withdrew; 28th, JGP Germany – total 49.79)

2006: Ami Parekh (17th ladies, JGP Norway – total 91.04) Aadnya Borkar (21st ladies, JGP Taipei – total 22.63) Upasana Upadhyay / Aaron Saladanha (10th pairs, JGP Taipei – total 4.30)

2005: Aadnya Borkar (23rd, JGP Canada – total 28.77)

2004: Avantika Vaishnav (27th ladies, JGP France – total 13.49) Debarati Ray (17th ladies, JGP China – total 29.64) Nidhi Girish Salian (33rd ladies, JGP Ukraine – total 21.32) Aadnya Borkar (38th, JGP Germany – total 29.29)

Washington also competed at 2010 Worlds, and the Ice Skating Association of India sent athletes to this year’s Asian Winter Games, including Aldrin Mathew and Anup Kumar Yama (a successful roller skater) in ice dance and Pingle in men’s. With Pingle, it’s good to see one current case where a skater has been sent out on a fairly consistent basis, because this is also fundamental.

In past years, India actually had juniors who, though not exactly world-beaters, had the technical capacity to score on a par with skaters from other small countries. It seems that India has been working now to develop a more grassroots approach – utilize skaters with more immediate ties to India – which is good, but, again, will also still eventually require at least one of those skaters to leave India to train for any hope of regaining reasonable small-country achievement.

India’s recent skaters have in a number of cases been roller skaters first, which raises the question of why India’s skating federation has taken an interest to begin with in moving athletes from one very different discipline to the ice. By sending a handful of skaters out per year, this indicates some concern with participating in the world winter sports scene, which is a great thing – but by not adequately preparing those athletes for nearly anything but a last-place finish, it’s unclear what the end goal is. Funding is a tremendous and valid issue, but there also comes a time to ask where the line is between just being happy to join in, to little apparent end, and desiring even incremental progress – or is JGP participation, however unsuccessful, simply helpful in allowing India to maintain its ISU membership?

For the sake of the athletes who are endeavoring to accomplish their best work, it’s not unfair to hope that a federation of a few years’ international standing has a longer-term goal in mind for its ongoing growth.

In a 1st, Niti Aayog comes talent-shopping at IIM-C on akhileshtiwari.com

All five — Vishva Prakash, Ankit Upadhyaya, Himanshu Vaishnav, Nikhil Tajane and Krishnendu Giri — say they are looking at the two-month programme at the end of the first year as a “learning experience” . They attribute their decision largely to their belief in PM Modi’s vision of India. from Times of India http://ift.tt/2lDrU8X via akhileshtiwari.com
