India at Olympics 2024: Shooting full contingent and full schedule

One of the most exciting teams going to represent India in the Paris Olympics 2024 is the 21-member strong Indian shooting contingent. The Rifle Association of India finalised a list of talented and experienced athletes for the pistol, rifle, and shotgun events.

The fact that India has obtained the maximum possible quota of 16 players (8 each in rifle and pistol events) shows the potential they have for creating something magical in the quadrennial event this year.

The show stopper, however, is the Youth Olympic Games champion Manu Bhaker who will be looking to make amends after a timid outing in the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Bhaker will be competing in the Women’s 10m air pistol and 25m pistol events. Traveling with Bhaker, are rifle shooters  Aishwarya Pratap Singh Tomar, Anjum Moudgil, and Elavenil Valarivan who will be making his return to the Olympics.

The 11 remaining shooters will be making their debuts featuring the likes of Asian Games 50m Rifle 3 positions gold medallist Sift Kumar Sifra. Sift also made a world record in the final event.

Manu Bhaker will be part of a 3-member pistol team along with Rhythm Sangwan and 19-year-old Esha Singh. Asian Games gold medallist duo Sarabjot Singh and Arjun Singh Cheema will constitute the 10m air pistol team.

Coming to the shotgun team, Asian Games and Asian Championships silver medallist Anant Jeet Singh Naruka will take part in Men’s Skeet while Maheshwari Chauhan and Raiza Dhillon will be in the Women’s skeet events in Paris.

Prithviraj Tondaiman is India’s lone representative in the Men’s Trap while Rajeshwari Kumari, and former CWG champion Shreyasi Singh will be contesting in the women’s event. 

Players Who Missed Out

Former World Champion Rudrankksh Patil, Tokyo Olympian Divyansh Singh Panwar, and Asian Games medallist Ashi Chouksey are some of the notable misses from the Paris Olympics squad.

Also, Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Bhowneesh Mendiratta who had obtained the first Paris Olympic quota for India during the 2022 ISSf World Championships.
