COMMONWEALTH GAMES, AUSTRALIA 2018

The Organizing Committee of Commonwealth Games 2018 has reduced the quota of Indian athletes for participation in Commonwealth Games 2018. A quota of 135 athletes has been allocated for Indian athletes. Despite repeated persuasion at various levels, the Organizing Committee has not enhanced the quota for Indian athletes. Accordingly, the Indian Olympic Association has reduced the number of athletes in every discipline. The Shooting event has been allocated 27 slots (15 Men and 12 Women) for all rifle/pistol and shotgun events compared to Commonwealth Games 2014 where 30 shooters (17 Men and 13 Women) participated.
 
The Selection Committee of NRAI will select the teams according to number of slots allotted. The decision of the Selection Committee shall be final.
