Olympics medallist shooter Gagan Narang has praised the systematic trials and equal opportunity that have helped India secure 15 quota places for the upcoming Paris Games.

Narang, who won bronze in the 2012 London Olympics, is thrilled about India's representation, including two female shooters from his own academy, Elavenil Valarivan and Ramita. The systematic approach in trials and marking systems gave every participant a fair chance to shine, according to Narang.

As Vice-President of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Narang lauded the government's investment in infrastructure and development schemes. He noted that Indian shooters now rank among the top in major events due to enhanced facilities and the Khelo India Scheme's scientific approach. He also credited the Mission Olympic Cell and TOPS for their support in vital areas like equipment, foreign exposure, and specialized staff.
