Paris 2024: Abhinav Bindra backs NRAI exclusion of shooter Rudrankksh Patil from Olympics squad

The Hindu  

Abhinav Bindra backed the National Rifle Association of India over the exclusion of 10m air rifle shooter Rudrankksh Patil from India’s shooting squad for the Paris Olympics. Patil had bagged a 10m air rifle quota for the Games, but could not find a place in the 15-member Indian squad for the quadrennial event after finishing behind Sandeep Singh and Arjun Babuta in the NRAI’s selection trials. Citing the Olympic guidelines, where a country can only send top two shooters in one event from trials to the Games, Bindra said, “See, it’s not a call. The event was also attended by Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla, who addressed the 170 students who received their certificates and insisted on the fact that ‘the knowledge and skills acquired by these graduates will be pivotal in professionalising sports management in India.’ Former India cricketer and the founder of IISM, Nilesh Kulkarni, said that their ‘mission has always been to provide top-notch education and training to individuals passionate about sports.’
