Paris Olympics 2024: Full list of athletes in Indian shooting squad


The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) announced a 15-member Indian rifle and pistol squad and a shotgun team of six shooters for the Paris 2024 Olympics

Two-time Olympian Manu Bhaker is the only athlete who would be participating in more than one individual event- the women’s 10m air pistol and the women’s 25m pistol. NRAI exchanged a spare women’s pistol quota place for a women’s trap quota (Shreyasi Singh) which had freed up because of Bhaker making it to two events.

The team consists of eight rifle, seven pistol, three trap and three skeet shooters.
