Indian team aims to have long training

Dr. Karni Singh Range likely to host the shooters

After its overwhelming performance in the World Cup here in March, Indian shooting has lost a precious month planning the preparation for the Tokyo Olympics. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) maintained that the discussions were on between the stake holders and the Sports Authority of India (SAI) to finalise the course of action. The readiness of the Indian shooters was evident in the manner the team won 15 of the 30 gold medals on offer in the World Cup. In fact, India won 30 of the 82 medals. The second best performer, the US team, managed four gold, three silver and a bronze. No other team reached double figures for medals, which should give a fair indication about the Indian shooters’ capacity on the global stage, though power houses like China and Korea were not present.
