NEW DELHI, March 28: Following India’s stellar performance at the ISSF World Cup which fetched the team of shooters 30 medals of which most were gold, National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Raninder Singh held high praise for the promising performance ahead of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. “I had hoped that the home range would help me get my 16th quota… the cookie crumbled. But that boy (Vijayveer), he is very young and he shot very well… In the long run you will see a lot of good things from him,” Singh said after the tournament. The national shooting body’s chief was satisfied with the performance of his athletes. “Athletes morale is high, but, as I had said earlier this is not a marker for Olympics. But it’s important that we have done well, because it leaves us morally high, these things matter, psychologically it’s important for us. “We have also set an example for rest of the shooting community so that they don’t shy away from not hosting tournaments because of COVID-19. We are making sure that we will have regular international engagements that’s why I was asked to conduct this first,” Raninder said. (PTI)
