India s Olympic hopefuls were to get crucial exposure at the World Cup before going to Tokyo for Games beginning on July 23. Athletes participating in the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Changwon from April 16 to 27 will not be exempted from the mandatory two weeks quarantine rule. We don t know how many shooters from other countries will compete, but we have opted out of the competition, an NRAI official told IANS.

New Delhi, Feb 12 (IANS) India hasn t secured an Olympic Games quota in men s 25m rapid pistol, but the shooting world governing body could allot individual quota to the shooter who accumulates good ranking points by May 31, the deadline for allotting individual quotas.
World s 12th ranked Anish Bhanwala, the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games champion in this event, seems to have the brightest chance from India to secure the individual quota.
However, the 18-year-old talented shooter, a multiple medal-winner in the junior World Cups in 2018 and 2019 season, is not in form these days. In the fourth national selection trials - as well as the previous trials - for March s Delhi World Cup, Bhanwala has not been impressive.
