Indian Shooters Struggle at ISSF World Cup Ahead of Asian Games
Indian shooters faced a challenging ISSF World Cup in Hangzhou, marking their final major preparation before the Asian Games in Japan. Despite some individual progress, such as Vidarsa Vinod reaching the women's 50m rifle three positions final and Rakesh Parth Mane qualifying second in men's 10m air rifle, the team failed to secure any medals. Hosts China dominated the event, winning multiple golds and setting a world record. India's overall performance raised concerns ahead of the Asian Games, with several shooters falling short in qualifications and finals.
