International Shooting Sport Federation: Olympic Games double-bronze medallist Manu Bhaker is the only one selected for two individual events by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) for the year's first two World Cups which will kick-start the international shooting sports season for 2025.

The NRAI has announced a 35-member Indian team for the two-legged South American sojourn for both the combined (Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun) International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cups to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina (Apr 1-11) and Lima, Peru (Apr 13-22) in just over five weeks from now.

Bhaker, who had a decent outing in the National Selection Trials, will line up for a start in the women’s 10m air pistol and the women’s 25m pistol events and will be hoping to triumph in both to give her season a rousing start.
