Munkhbayar Dorjsuren appointed Indian pistol team’s foreign coach

The Hindu  

The National Rifle Association of India on Tuesday appointed two-time Olympic medallist shooter Munkhbayar Dorjsuren as the chief foreign coach of the national pistol team ahead of the ISSF World Cup in Changwon, Korea beginning on July 9. The 55-year-old Farnik, who competed at six consecutive Olympic Games from 1992 to 2012, has already joined the Indian team and has started training the shooters, alongside chief coaches Joydeep Karmakar and Suma Shirur. “This is a very interesting development and the NRAI’s decision to appoint top-quality foreign coaches speaks volumes on how seriously India is treating shooting before the next Olympic Games in Paris,” said Joydeep Karmakar, the newly appointed chief rifle coach. That said, the decision to appoint top-quality foreign coaches and chief coaches this time will surely help the shooters to benefit immensely ahead of the next Olympic Games,” he added.
