Massive start from Indian mens team. Though, France, Turkey & Columbian archers are good. We stand a chance to win a medal (Silver/Bronze), since we avoided S.Korea in Q.F
Manu Bhaker is through to the women's 10m air pistol final and her exceptional performance in the qualification round ended a 20-year wait.
Suma Shirur, who reached the final of the 10m air rifle event at Athens 2004, was the last Indian female shooter to make it past the qualification rounds at the Summer Olympics. At Beijing, London, Rio and Tokyo, none of the Indian female shooters made it to the finals.
Bhaker herself competed in the women's 10m and 25m air pistol events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics but didn't make it past the qualifier round.
