quick question .......does India qualify for mixed team pistol just in case rahi has a MQS in 10m pistol ( she qualified in the 25M pistol ) .....we already have 2 men in the 10m men ???

The system just says they need to be double starters so theoretically they can be also 25 m I think.

yes, now Rahi only need the MQS in the 10m air pistol to be eligible to make the mixed team event...

I think Germany has a quota place in Mixed Air pistol. Christian Reitz has the MQS in 10m AIr Pistol, so does for example Monika Karsch. Therefore both are allowed to start in Air Pistol Event at the Olympics, meaning Germany should have the quota place in the mixed. Surely one can't punish athletes like Reitz, because they happened to qualify in another discipline first?

Wait I got a doubt. What if China gets the full quota in shooting? They have mixed team quota in 10m rifle and pistol + 2 each in individual men's and women's 10m so the mixed team starters need not be starting in individual event?

sure, Germany is entitled to enter a pair in the mixed team air pistol competition...

but technically, the Olympic quota for those events are only the 2 awarded at the last world champs...

in practice, all the Countries can enter in those events, provided they have at least 1 man and 1 woman qualified in a shooting discipline (and both have the MQS in the air pistol)...

and it's the same in the mixed team air rifle event...

theoretically, 1 single shooter could enter all the shooting events if he/she has the MQS (as we wrote in the past, triple starts are quite common...maybe in the next future someone will go for the quadruple job)...

Yes. China can select three different shooters for these events. Shooter A and B for individual events and shooter C for mixed event.

Indeed. There is no better prize for a lifetime effort than becoming an Olympian in mixed team shooting competition.

That situation shouldn’t arise but even if it does, she is a pretty decent 10m AP shooter as well and participates regularly in the event at domestic circuit

There is also a chance that Germany doesn't select Reitz and instead selects someone that doesn't have the MQS in 10m air pistol. Basically, it's best to wait until the 25m/50m/skeet shooters are announced before listing the nation as eligible to compete in the mixed team events.
