ISSF President's Cup | Olympian Anjum Moudgil to lead India challenge
An Olympic quota for India was earned last month by world No. 2 Rudrankksh Patil, who won the men's 10m air rifle event at the ISSF World Championships. The men's 50m rifle third-position world No. 9, Swapnil Kusale, is also scheduled to compete. At the ISSF World Championship in Cairo last month, India was awarded a quota spot for the Paris 2024 Olympics thanks to Swapnil Kusale, who placed fourth in the competition.
The women's 10m air pistol competition will feature teenager Rhythm Sangwan. The individual gold medalist at the Asian Airgun Championship, who is now ranked No. 11 in the world in her division, entered the competition. Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, an Olympian and the No. 9 shooter in the world had originally planned to compete in the 50-meter rifle 3-position competition. Esha Singh, the women's 10m air pistol world No. 17, will instead round up India's five-person President's Cup team.
For the ISSF President's Cup 2022, shooters have qualified from 42 different countries. With 12 shooters, Germany will be the most well-represented nation. The Golden Target, given to the best shooter of the year, will go to the ISSF President's Cup winners.
India won five medals in the ISSF President's Cup in 2021: two gold, two silver, and one bronze. Among the medal winners were Olympians Manu Bhaker, Rahi Sarnobat, Saurabh Chaudhary, and Abhishek Verma. On December 3, 2022, the ISSF President's Cup will come to an end.
