SAI approves two-month shooting camp for core Olympic probables from 15 October
FirstpostAll 15 Olympic quota winners will be a part of the camp which will take place at a total cost of Rs 1.43 crore, according to a statement issued by SAI. The camp, which will be held at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range in the national capital, will comprise 32 shooters, eight coaches, three foreign coaches and two support staff. “Though I have been training right through the lockdown, training in a camp with all the fellow shooters will be much better preparation with the national coaches monitoring our progress.” Speaking about the camp, NRAI president Raninder Singh said, “Our shooters have been training at home during the lockdown but to train together at a camp is going to help them much more. “We are very happy that SAI has sanctioned this two-month training camp which will help our shooters to achieve the performance levels they were maintaining before the lockdown was announced.” India have won a record 15 quotas in shooting for the Tokyo Olympics and can still obtain quotas on the basis of world rankings.
