Sanjeev and Aishwary are ranked sixth and two in the world in this the most gruelling Rifle/Pistol event on schedule.

Both Indians will have to fight hard for a top-eight spot, given the presence of the likes of defending Olympic champion Sergey Kamenskiy of Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and world number one Istvan Peni of Hungary in the 48-strong field, among other heavyweight 3P exponents.
