Busy day one

International Shooting Sport Federation: With 15 Indians in action across the five events for the four gold medals, divided equally among Olympic and non-Olympic events, will be decided on competition Day One of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Championship Rifle/Pistol in Cairo, Egypt, on Saturday.

The women’s and men’s 10m air rifle finals will no doubt be the showstoppers, being popular Olympic events, with the non-Olympic 50m pistol event also giving out two gold medals on day one.

A total of 720 athletes from 71 member federations will compete in Cairo’s Olympic Shooting range over 10 competition days, in what has now become a regular venue in the international shooting calendar over the past few years.
