India and the Olympic Games haven't produced many memorable moments, especially since the turn of the 21st century. The 2024 Paris Games saw the country clinch just 6 medals -- 5 bronze and 1 silver. The nation's failure to bring home a single gold medal hurt the sentiments of many sports lovers across the country. But a lot is set to change as India begins its preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Cricket, India's beloved sport, is set to mark its return to the grandest stage of all, with the LA Games set to feature the sport in T20 format.

Earlier, two-time Olympian Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Niraj Kumar and Rio Olympian Chain had qualified for the final. Aishwary qualified second ahead of the experienced Chain in third. Both shot identical scores of 589, with Chain giving up a spot, on accuracy. Niraj was fifth with 587.

Rana, a four-time Asian Games gold medallist, had a very bitter and public fallout with Manu before the Tokyo Olympics but they reconciled before last year's Paris Games, where the latter made history by bagging two bronze medals.
Double Olympic medallist shooter Manu Bhaker said Jaspal Rana will continue to be her "coach" despite the Dronacharya awardee being roped in as the High Performance trainer for pistol discipline by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) earlier this month. Rana, a four-time Asian Games gold medallist, had a fall-out with Manu before the Tokyo Olympics but they reconciled before the last year's Paris Games, where the latter made history by bagging two bronze medals. Under Rana's personal guidance, Manu, who was struggling after the Tokyo Games, made a remarkable comeback and became the first Indian to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympics since Independence.
