Asian Games gold-medallist marksman Ronjan Sodhi on Friday said the Indian shooting contingent's preparations for Paris Olympics could have been planned in a better way and demanded more say for sportspersons in the running of the national federation. The Olympian double-trap shooter said the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) was late in announcing the 21-member contingent for Paris, adding that he still has high hopes from the jumbo squad. A record number of shooters have qualified for the Paris Games with the previous best being 15 at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, raising expectations that India would break the jinx of going without a medal in the sport in the last two editions of the quadrennial showpiece.
