Pretty light squad. Bajrang is the only realistic hope of a medal. Rest need good draw and upsets to win a medal.

India have reached semis in boys' hockey by beating Poland 4-2. In a big upset, Zambia defeated Australia.

At the Olympics India does not fare well in Athletics and Swimming with a chunk of the medals.

India has won 2 quota in the Shooting World Championships. Now China has 8, Japan has 10+. Even Croatia and Slovakia has more.

well these atheletes are at the junior level and let us encourage them when they are at this level  , when they reach the senior level they will score medals at that level ..... If you expect 16 year olds to get medals immediately at the senior olympics it may not be possible ...... the average age of an olympic medal in shooting is 28 years ... they will need time to transition and why cannot we  take great pleasure in the significant accomplishment they are doing at this level ...................... I am thrilled with their accomplishment at this level
