On eve of Indian shooters' events at 2020 Tokyo Olympics, coaches remain confident

India TV News  

Indian shooting team coaches Deepali Deshpande and Ronak Pandit sounded optimistic on the eve of the shooters' first big test in the Tokyo Olympics here. In the women's 10m air rifle event, ROC athlete Yulia Karimova, the reigning world champion in the 50m rifle 3 positions event and Chinese Taipei's world number four Lin Ying-Shin will pose the biggest threat to the Indian shooters. In the men's 10m air pistol, Saurabh and Abhishek have been two of the most dominant shooters in the world over the past three years, but the smaller 36-man field comprises some of the greatest names in this discipline, led by the biggest of them all -- the inimitable Korean Jin Jong-oh -- and China's Pang Wei. Jong-oh, a four-time Olympic gold medallist, is also the reigning world champion and will have for company, Beijing Olympic champion Pang Wei, the Rio Games rapid fire pistol champion Christian Reitz of Germany and the 2016 defending champion in this event, Hoang Xuan Vinh of Vietnam. The Indian duo will also have to contend with the challenges of ROC athlete Artem Chernousov, in-form Iranian Javad Foroughi, seasoned Serbian Damir Mikec, recently crowned European champion Juraj Tuzinsky of Slovakia and top-class Ukranian shooters Oleh Omelchuk and Pavlo Korostylov among others.
