Shooting at Paris Olympics

[Roamingrover86 855]

Yea NRAI deserves massive credit. One of the best run federation. Perhaps the only criticism of the trial system was not having 8 shooters in each category. I am certain, they will make it next time, as the talent pool will only increase. 
 

Also don’t forgot Sift & Manu (25m) are still left. We could well end with 4/5 medals in shooting. Shooting will exceed most predictions.

Hi @Fly_like_a_don @nitinsanker @Roamingrover86 @tirtha22 @sounak  @thala07fan just did a simple comparison of qualification scores compared to Tokyo and Paris. The green line represents the minimum qualification score required to qualify for final and India 1 and India 2 represents the top scores by Indian shooters first and second respectively. Significant improvement were seen in Rifle for all 4 shooters

This phenomenon is common for our athletes. Every Olympics we are used to this phenomenon, it is called “Olympics Phenomenon “ where athletes becomes cold feet & cannot perform. Nothing surprise us anymore.

What is the highest number of 4th place finishes we had in an Olympic? Does anyone have the numbers? This is our 3r 4th place of these games already
