Indian Tokyo-bound shooters currently in Croatia for a preparatory tour ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics are being taken care of very well by the local federation. The contingent will take part in the European Championships from May 20 to June 6 in Osijek, Croatia, followed by the ISSF World Cup.

The ISSF World Cup, which was supposed to be held from June 21 to July 2, in Baku, has been cancelled owing to the surge in Covid-19 cases on Azerbaijan. The event was supposed to serve as the final preparation ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, which begins on July 23, later this year.
