By IANS News December 30, 2023 • 10:04 AM View: 313

Asian Olympic Qualification Rifle: As Indian shooters commence the new season in 2024, with the Paris Olympics on the horizon, their primary objective will be to qualify for the quadrennial event and bring an end to the 12-year wait for a coveted medal.

After the Indian shooters drew a blank in the last two Olympics in Rio and Tokyo, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) amended its selection criteria for the 2024 Paris Olympics to ensure that it picks the best shooters for the Summer Games next year.

As per the new selection criteria, bonus points for Olympic quota holders who will compete in national Olympic selection trials have been reduced to two from five in the pistol category and one in the rifle category.
