Precision stage

Olympic Selection Trials: The 25m Pistol shooters will fire first as the inaugural Olympic Selection Trials (OSTs) 1&2 for Rifle and Pistol is all set to get underway at the Karni Singh Shooting range, here.

Friday will see the qualification rounds for both the women’s 25m Pistol and the men’s 25m rapid-fire pistol (RFP) take up the entire day beginning at 9.00 am IST with the women’s Precision Stage.

Five shooters each have made the cut in each event, as they have in all the eight events. In the women’s sport pistol (25m) Manu Bhaker will take the favourites tag being the only Olympian in the field as well as having the advantage of having one of the two quotas in the event, which will give her a bump of two points in the final average score.
