Congratulations
team in blue. An Incredible win for
India by winning International
Shooting Sport Federation [ISSF] World Cup.
Stalwarts’
countries like the United States of America [USA], Italy, Denmark, Poland and
many more did join in the shooting events, despite that India tops medal tally
in ISSF Rifle-Pistol World Cup held recently in Delhi.
This is
India’s most successful campaign to mark with and do make us proud for the
nation. If we really go back and analyze
the events of the ISSF Shooting World Cup, then we will see India primitively ruling
the medals chart.
The shooting World Cups since the New Delhi edition in February 2019 and this was the country’s sixth successive number one finish at the ISSF championship in the rifle/pistol events – New Delhi, Beijing, Munich, Rio de Janeiro [World Cup Final] in 2019 and at the combined World Cup stage here in 2021. A very impressive result and this reflects total dominance in the shooting.
53
countries have participated and a total of 294 shooters across the world compete
chiefly – Korea, Singapore, United Kingdom, Iran, Ukraine, France, Hungary
Thailand, Turkey.
The 2021 ISSF World Cup is the annual edition of the ISSF World Cup in the Olympic shooting events finished the World Cup shooting campaign with a golden triumph by cornering 30 medals, including 15 gold.
Whilst
India stands first and the second position is the USA and the third rank is
Italy for the ISSF Shooting World Cup held in Delhi. The table shows par
excellence of India’s performance with respective countries in medal tally
categorized Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Perceptibly
heartiest congrats to all team members, coaches, mentor and associated
staff. It should be highly celebrated
but on the contrary, if you look India will never win any international
competition. Though the reflection and
the results are shown a great success but in the Olympics, Indians are lacking
behind in the shooting to fetch Gold medals except for one in 2008 Beijing,
Abhinav Bindra did make us proud.
Though
among the shooting fraternity and as an Indian, the history behind the result
is unmatched and we should be proud of it, but we should be more compatible in
the international arena of shooting competition especially in the Olympics and
stands top on the medal tally that we should be looking for.
No doubt, the
Olympics is totally a different scenario, a tough competition and a lot of
challenges will be there and every country will certainly give their best but the
dominance of Indian shooting in the ISSF World Cup gives new light and new hope
to start with and sure many more to come.
Here is the Indian performance in the Olympics.

Hats of a new beginning and hope for more medals at the Olympics. A feeling of trust has been evolving with this historic performance that India has produced in shooting event with sixth successive number one finish at the ISSF championship can translate for the Olympics as well.
