ISSF Junior World Championship 2021: Manu Bhaker, Aishwary Pratap Singh in action – get schedule for Indian shooters
After her disappointing run at the Tokyo Olympics, Indian pistol ace Manu Bhaker will look to bounce back at the meet in Peru.
Tokyo Olympians Manu Bhaker and Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar will spearhead the Indian shooting contingent at the ISSF Junior World Championship 2021, to be held in Lima, Peru, from September 27 to October 10.
Indian shooters returned with 10 medals - four gold, three silver and three bronze – from the 2017 edition and finished second in the overall standings. The current crop will look to better the tally at the premier competition for under-21 shooters, which includes pistol, rifle and shotgun events.

With entries in five events - 10m air pistol, 10m air pistol women’s team, 10m air pistol mixed team, 25m sports pistol and 25m sports pistol women’s team – Manu Bhaker will be the busiest shooter from the India camp at the Las Palmas Shooting Range over the next fortnight.
Having endured a tough time, including a malfunctioning gun during the 10m air pistol event, during her debut Olympics at Tokyo, the 19-year-old Manu Bhaker will be eager to bounce back.
Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, meanwhile, will represent India in the 50m rifle three positions event at the Peru meet.
Returning medallists from the 2017 edition, pistol specialist Anish Bhanwala and shotgun shooter Shapath Bhardawaj are the other notable names in the Indian squad.
