Top stars for Lakshya Cup
The Hindu
Unique mixed-gender tournament
Some of the top air rifle shooters in the country will vie for honours in the 12th edition of the RR Lakshya Cup, a unique mixed-gender tournament, in Panvel, Navi Mumbai on Friday and Saturday.
Leading the field will be Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, who was a member of the Indian contingent in Tokyo and is the reigning junior world champion. He will be hoping to take home the senior winner’s cheque worth ₹1 lakh.
The tournament, being revived after the pandemic-forced cancellation of last year’s event, is the brainchild of Suma Shirur, the Olympian shooter-turned-coach. According to Shirur, the event will offer all shooters the rare chance to showcase skills without the pressure of having to vie for National selection.
