New Delhi: India began on a sedate note on day one of competitions at the year’s first International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol in Cairo, Egypt, as none of their three Shooters in the Men’s 10M Air Rifle made it to the semi-final stage. Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil shot 628.5 in the 60-shot qualification stage to place 11th among 103 competitors and register the best Indian finish.

The top eight to make it through were led by Russian Vladimir Maslennikov, a former world champion and Olympic medallist, who shot a superb 632.7.
