Friday will see the qualification rounds for both the women\u2019s 25m Pistol and the men\u2019s 25m rapid-fire pistol (RFP) take up the entire day beginning at 9.00 am IST with the women\u2019s Precision Stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Five shooters each have made the cut in each event, as they have in all the eight events. In the women\u2019s sport pistol (25m) Manu Bhaker will take the favourites tag being the only Olympian in the field as well as having the advantage of having one of the two quotas in the event, which will give her a bump of two points in the final average score.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She will be challenged by the second quota winner Rhythm Sangwan, Esha Singh, Abhidnya Ashok Patil and Simranpreet Kaur Brar for the top spots in both the OSTs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the men\u2019s RFP, Anish Bhanwala will be the one to beat given he has established himself as the undisputed number one in the discipline over this Olympic cycle. He also has the quota place as has good friend Vijayveer Sidhu. Adarsh Singh, Bhavesh Shekhawat and Ankur Goel will challenge both those for one of the two Paris spots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
