Rio Olympics 2016: 5 Shooters who can ruin India's medal hopes

5) Yi Siling

After her win at the 2012 Olympics, Yi Siling of China would be itching to win consecutive Gold Medals in the 10m air rifle. And given China’s dominance in shooting events over the last couple of Olympics, Siling would know she is in with a great chance and might just even go to defend her Gold.

Siling, however, is expected to face a tough challenge from a young Indian by the name of Apurvi Chandela, who has been making waves on the shooting circuit for quite some time now.

In fact, in the Swedish Cup Grand Prix in Savsjo last year, Chandela won herself a gold medal with a world record score of 211.2 that surpassed the feat of Siling (211).

However, with her experience and intense training that the Chinese go through year after year to be at their best in Olympics, Siling is undisputably the bigger name on paper and can crush billions of hopes that rest on Chandela’s performance.
