Two-time Olympic bronze medallist Manu Bhaker will spearhead a 43-member Indian shooting contingent at the ISSF World Cup 2025 Buenos Aires in Argentina from Thursday.
The Buenos Aires meet, which features competitions in rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines, is the first ISSF World Cup of the year and will also kickstart the 2025 season for Indian shooters. Live stream will be available on Olympics.com.
The second ISSF World Cup will be held in Lima, Peru from April 13 to 22.
Over 400 shooters from 45 countries are scheduled to compete at the ISSF World Cup in Buenos Aires. India, with 43, boasts the largest contingent in the tournament.
Manu Bhaker, a double bronze medallist from the Paris 2024 Olympics, will participate in pistol events.
However, Sarabjot Singh, who partnered her to win bronze in the mixed team 10m air pistol event in Paris, won’t feature at the ISSF World Cup 2025 Buenos Aires.
Swapnil Kusale, who won a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions event, is also missing from the Indian squad at Buenos Aires.
Anish Bhanwala, Vijayveer Sidhu, Esha Singh, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Sift Kaur Samra, Arjun Babuta, Prithviraj Tondaiman, Anantjeet Singh Naruka and Raiza Dhillon are the other Paris 2024 Olympians who will feature in Buenos Aires.
Meanwhile, Asian Games and World Cup gold medallist Saurabh Chaudhary will be a part of the men’s pistol team.
Chaudhary, a Youth Olympics and junior world champion, has struggled for form since the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. However, the 22-year-old appears to be on the comeback trail after winning the national trials in January with a record-breaking score.
