Eighteen Indian shooters, including the Olympic champion Mairaj Ahmad KhanAsian Games Olympian Anant Jeet Singh Naruka and Raiza Dhillonwill be in action at ISSF Shotgun World Cup 2024 Lonatoscheduled in Italy from June 10 to 18.
The Lonato leg, to be held at the Trap Concaverde Shooting Range, will be the sixth and final ISSF World Cup of the season 2024. Although Indian snipers have won nine medals at shooting World Cups this year, the shotgun team tied so far.
The Indian shotgun team in Lonato will look to change that at the Italy meet, which will also be the major shooting event ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
India has secured five quotas in shotgun shooting events for the upcoming Summer Games.
Two-time Olympian Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Asian Games and Asian Championships silver medalist Anant Jeet Singh Naruka will lead the men’s skeet.
Lakshay Sheoran, Bhowneesh Mendiratta and Prithviraj Tondaiman will face the Indian men’s trap challenge in Lonato.
Maheshwari Chauhan, Raiza Dhillon and Ganemat Sekhon, who combined to win the women’s team skeet gold medal at the 2024 Asian Shooting Championships in Kuwait earlier this year, will all be in action at Lonato.
Manisha Keer, Shreyasi Singh and Rajeshwari Kumari, meanwhile, will be the top draws in the women’s trap.
In Lonato, medals will be on offer in five Olympic shooting categories – men’s and women’s skeet and trap and mixed skeet team.
