Firstpost  

Apurvi Chandela and Elavenil Valarivan will represent India in the women’s 10m air rifle competition on Saturday followed by the men’s 10m air pistol qualification and the final with Saurabh Chaudhary and Abhishek Verma in action. Tokyo: Indian shooting team coaches Deepali Deshpande and Ronak Pandit sounded optimistic on the eve of the shooters’ first big test in the Tokyo Olympics. 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.
