Five Indian shooters, including Tondaiman and Rajeshwari, will represent the country in the shotgun events at the Olympics.

In a monumental announcement, the national shooting federation has revealed the five chosen members to represent India in the upcoming Paris Olympics. With the highly-anticipated Games fast approaching, all eyes are on Prithviraj Tondaiman, who will be leading the Indian shotgun team. This will be a momentous occasion for all five members as it will mark their first ever Olympic appearance.

The Paris Games, scheduled from July 26th to August 11th, will see Tondaiman competing in the men's trap event, while Rajeshwari Kumari will represent India in the women's trap event. Anantjeet Singh Naruka will be the sole men's skeet shooter, while Raiza Dhillon and Maheshwari Chauhan will compete in the women's skeet event. It is worth noting that Maheshwari and Anantjeet will also compete as a team in the skeet mixed event, which is making its debut at the Paris Games.

The selection process for the shotgun squad was highly competitive, with each shooter vying for a coveted spot. However, the federation has full confidence in the chosen team and believes they have what it takes to bring home a medal for India. Kr. Sultan Singh, the secretary general of the National Rifle Association of India, stated, "There was intense competition for places and things could have changed in case some shooters medalled at the recently concluded Lonato World Cup. But we believe that we have a great shotgun team, which has won the highest ever spots for India at any Games and certainly a second Olympic medal in the discipline looks a strong possibility."

In addition to the five members announced, the selection committee has also approved the name of Shreyasi Singh, a women's trap shooter. However, due to a quota swap request, her name will only be officially published after necessary approvals are received from the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). Nonetheless, the federation remains confident in the strength and potential of their shotgun team and is eagerly anticipating their performance at the Paris Olympics.
