A 35-member Indian shooting contingent, led by Olympic medallists Manu Bhaker and Swapnil Kusale, will be in action at the ISSF World Cup 2026 Munich in Germany from May 24 to 31.
Live streaming of the ISSF World Cup 2026 Munich finals will be available to watch in India on Olympics.com.
The Munich shooting meet is the second ISSF World Cup of the year for rifle and pistol shooters.
India won just one medal – a gold won by Mukesh Nelavalli and Palak Gulia in the 10m air pistol mixed team event – at the first World Cup in Granada, Spain, last month.
However, the 35-member Indian contingent, which includes 13 shooters competing under Ranking Points Only (RPO), has been bolstered ahead of the Munich leg with the inclusion of Paris 2024 medallists Manu Bhaker and Swapnil Kusale. The duo did not compete at the season-opener in Granada.
Swapnil, who won an Olympic bronze in the 50m rifle 3 positions two years ago, will compete in his pet event.
Manu Bhaker will compete in the women’s 10m air pistol and 25m pistol events, besides featuring in the 10m air pistol mixed team competition.
Former world champion Rudrankksh Patil and Asian Games medallist Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar also return to the squad, while Sarabjot Singh, who partnered Manu to win the 10m pistol mixed team bronze at Paris 2024, will sit out.
India’s men’s 10m air pistol line-up features world champion Samrat Rana. Suruchi Singh, a three-time ISSF World Cup winner in 2025 and the World Cup Final champion, will compete in the women’s and mixed 10m air pistol.
Olympian Esha Singh, who won an individual gold medal at the Asian Shooting Championships earlier this year, will feature in the 10m and 25m pistol.
Each individual gold medallist at the ISSF World Cup qualifies for the year-end ISSF World Cup Final, which will be held in Rome, Italy, in December.
