New Delhi, Nov. 8 -- Indian shooters have produced impressive performances to tune themselves up for the biggest test of the season yet. The ISSF World Championships (rifle/pistol), starting in Cairo on Saturday, would be as much a battle of skills as of nerves, with the world's best shooters taking aim. India finished second to China in the first World Cup of the season in Buenos Aires (8 medals to China's 11), took third places in the next two legs in Lima (seven medals) and Munich (four medals) and came fifth (two medals) in the China (Ningbo) leg, where a second string-side was given an opportunity. At the Asian Championships too, India's young shooters showed their new-found confidence to finish second (30) in the medal tally behind China (31). However, cracking the World Championship is far tougher. At the 2023 world championships in Baku, India won only two individual medals in Olympic events-- Akhil Sheoran and Mehuli Ghosh securing bronze medals and Paris Olympics quota places for India in 50m rifle three positions. The other big medal in Olympic discipline came in the 10m air pistol mixed team event. A year before in Cairo, Rudrankksh Patil delivered a brilliant performance to become world champion in 10m air rifle, only the second Indian shooter to achieve this feat after Abhinav Bindra (2006, Zagreb)....
