    In terms of mental stabillity i observe Indian shooters same as Chinese shooters. At least from those times when India was winning olympic medals - Beijing 2008 for e.g.

    Even we did. He is normally very composed. But, was not at his best since the pandemic. In the end, the form of Faroughi and experience of Mikec and Pang won. Saurabh is still young, this is a valuable learning experience for him. Hopefully, he would win the medal in the Mixed team.

    After the heartbreak in Rio, Mirabai has finally got an Olympic medal. She has also joined Sindhu as the most decorated Indian Female Olympian with this Silver.

    To be fair, Archery had an established Mixed Team legacy in World Cups and Championships. ISSF had no such event and had to create 3 Mixed Team events from scratch to retain 3 Gold medals. If you look at Mixed Team events in the present Olympic cycle, this thing is visible a lot. There has been a lot of changes in their format. And ISSF is already developing Mixed team events for other disciplines as well, so that for the next Olympic, they can try and add 3 more Gold medals without any increase in quota places. 
     
    I agree that instead of giving out Mixed team quota and allowing the same athlete to win 2 quotas was simply wrong. They should have simply given the Mixed team quota winners a quota in each of the individual events (like Archery) but at that time, nobody knew how the Mixed team events would develop. So, in my opinion, the main problem was the hurried manner in which Mixed team events were rushed in Olympics.

    If that tragedy means Hendra Setiawan can get another gold, I would gladly accept it.

    team was ranked 6th in Race to Tokyo. So, they along with , the second  team and  were unseeded. Group D also has 3 teams in top 10:  and . Group B has  and  alongside , all three are good. I think we have clear favourites only in Group C where I think  and  are much better than  and . What is different is our group doesn't have a weak team.

    Erik Varga and Zuzana won the Mixed team quota and also individual quotas. So, going by rules,  can pick these two using Mixed team quota and two different shooters for individual quota and all 4 can start in both individual and team events via double starter rule.

    She benefited from a rare set of circumstances. Had the BTF revealed a less favorable qualification procedure (like having the continental qualifiers in 2019) or if another Canadian athlete took prominence then she wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on.
     
    The combination of being one of the best athletes prior to getting pregnant, BTF screwing Pan American athletes hard and having the full support of the Canadian Federation gave her the opportunity to strike.
