New Delhi, May 11: India’s pistol coach Pavel Smirnov will not accompany the 28-member national shooting squad to Croatia on Tuesday due to delay in visa process.
“He hasn’t got a visa for Croatia [yet] so can’t go with the team. But he will go next week when he gets the necessary travel documents,” a national level coach told IANS.
As many as 13 shooters in the squad will attend an Olympic camp in the European country. In Smirnov’s absence, assistant coach Ved Prakash will oversee training of the Tokyo Olympic-bound pistol team. The pistol shooting team consists of Abhishek Verma, Saurabh Chaudhary, Manu Bhaker, Rahi Sarnobat and Yashaswini Singh. (IANS)
