Shooting News

At Asian Olympics qualifying tournament 2016, New Delhi, India

Men 50m Rifle 3 Positions
4. Sanjeev Rajput (IND) 429.5 points,

Sanjeev Rajput grabs 12th Rio 2016 Quota Place for India as he finished 4th place in the final of 50m Rifle 3 Positions ... All three medalists from 50m Rifle 3 Positions already secured quota places so next three shooters grab available three quota places ... So for Rio we are managed to grab one more spot from London Olympics but I am disappointed ... I was hoping around 20 quota places for Indian shooters ... In this tournament we missed at least three quota places (Asab, Koshy and Akhil) and then disappointing performances from Vijay Kumar and Manavjit Singh Sandhu in this Asian qualifying.

So these are our 12 quota places secure shooters list, we can exchange some of them before Olympics final list for where we are having better chance of the medal.
