The wounds of the Tokyo Olympics are still fresh for Indian shooters. Yes, India has won four Olympic medals in shooting out of its overall tally of 35, including the historic Abhinav Bindra gold, but none in the last two editions of the Summer Games. A record 21-member Indian contingent with the likes of Manu Bhaker and Sift Kaur Samra will look to mute the critics in Paris.
India's main challenge will come from China who are also fielding 21 shooters across disciplines. Here is when you can catch Indian shooters in action at the Olympics 2024:
