Can India finally win a shooting medal?
Well, it is a far-fetched dream, to be honest. India's best hope in Women's 25m, Rahi Sarnobat, struggled yesterday in the Precision stage and almost looks out of the final unless she produces something magical in Rapid. Though Manu Bhaker put up an impressive show, the 25m is not really her strong suit and with 30 more shots in qualification to go before the final, it is not easy to predict.
But in a sport like shooting, you never know!
Having said that one thing for sure is the fact that there is a lot riding on the shoulders of Manu Bhaker and Rahi Sarnobat today.
