Manu Bhaker and Yashwini Deswal will begin their quest for Olympic glory in the Women’s 10m air pistol event in the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday. The duo currently ranked No.1 and No,2 in the world respectively are expected to make the podium and end the European dominance at the Olympics, with no Asian country apart from China have been able to win a medal in the event since 1988.

The qualification round for Women’s Pistol begins at 5.30 am IST while the finals are scheduled for 7.45 am IST.

The Men’s Rifle qualifiers start at 9.30 am IST with the finals being scheduled for 12 noon IST.

While both Deswal and Bhaker failed to make the podium during the 2021 ISSF World Cup, the Indian shooters are certainly ones to watch out for in the event. Deswal booked her Tokyo Olympics berth with a gold medal finish at the 2019 ISSF World Cup in Rio de Janeiro. She defeated former world champion and Olympic medalist Olena Kostevych to clinch the win.

Meanwhile, teenage prodigy Manu Bhaker has also set high standards as he readies herself for an Olympics debut. Bhaker won the gold medal in the women’s 10 m air pistol event at the 2018 Commonwealth Games just at the age of 16. She followed it up with another gold medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event at the 2019 ISSF World Cup in Delhi. She sealed her place at the Tokyo Olympics via a fourth-place finish at the Munich ISSF World Cup.

The women will again be looking to break the 580 mark at the bare minimum to strengthen their claims for a spot in the finals. The top eight will qualify from 53-woman field after 60-shots are fired in 75 minutes.

The Men’s 10M Air Rifle has a 47-men draw and will also have a 60-shot qualification round, but with decimal scoring in place, the comfort score is around 630 to ensure a finals berth.
