Every Olympic-bound Indian pistol shooter is capable of winning a medal, says coach Pavel Smirnov

Every Indian pistol shooter is capable of winning a medal, including gold, at the Tokyo Olympics, reckons Pavel Smirnov, the longstanding foreign coach of the Indian pistol team.

On the back of their unprecedented success in recent years, the Indians will enter the upcoming Olympics with heightened expectations, especially the incredibly talented bunch of young pistol shooters which includes Saurabh Chaudhary and Manu Bhaker.

Not to be left behind is the duo of Abhishek Verma and Yashaswini Singh Deswal, with the seasoned Rahi Sarnobat adding to the team’s strength.
