Asian Shooting Championship Rifle: As the shooters get ready to fire the first shots at the 16th Asian Shooting Championship Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun beginning August 18 and running up to August 29 at Shymkent, Kazakhstan, all eyes will be on India and China as the two neighbours battle it out for supremacy.

India had finished second behind China in the previous Asian Championship in Changwon with a total of 59 medals (21 gold, 22 silver, and 16 bronze), while in the 14th Asian Championship in Doha, India had returned a fourth-place finish. China topped the tally in Changwon with 78 medals (35 gold, 20 silver, 23 bronze).

Having picked their largest-ever contingent, India will be hoping to upstage the Continental superpower China to come up with their best-ever performance in the Asian Shooting Championships, which made its debut in 1967 with the first edition in Tokyo, Japan.
