Shooting News: Pistol shooter Anish Bhanwala talks exclusively to PS

The announcement by International Shooting Sport Federation that the 2021 Delhi World Cup will be decisive for Olympic qualification has paved the way for Indian pistol shooter Anish Bhanwala to possibly qualify for the Tokyo Olympics through world ranking quota. According to the ISSF Qualification System, the world ranking points earned during the World Cup will be added to the ranking list of March 31, 2020. The highest-ranked shooter, who has not qualified so far, will be allotted the quota. This certainly opens the door for Anish, who’s currently ranked World No 12. All the other shooters (25m rapid fire pistol) above him have either qualified already or are not eligible.
