An “individual with the right credentials” is set to evaluate the performance of the Indian shooting federation’s executives, which will form part of a three-way review prompted by the shooters’ horror run at the Tokyo Olympics.
The three-part review is already underway, an insider in the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
For the second successive time, the Indian shooting team returned from the Olympics empty-handed, belying a billion hopes after promising to deliver like never before.
Instead of stepping up their performance in Tokyo, the 15-strong squad crumbled under the mighty Olympic pressure.
“A review is already underway and it is being held in three parts. First the athletes, then the coaches and support and that will be followed by the executives of the national federation,” he said on Thursday.
Asked if NRAI president Raninder Singh will also be assessed, sources responded in the positive and pointed out that the federation chief himself was open to the idea, having spoken on similar lines during the Games in Tokyo.
