Tokyo Olympics: 5 most experienced Indian athletes going to the Games

#4 Sanjeev Rajput (Shooting)

Sanjeev Rajput (middle) will feature in his third Olympic Games

The sailor-turned-shooter has been around for a long time, marking his international debut with a bronze each in rifle events at the 2006 editions of the Commonwealth and Asian Games.

However, it was in 2008 that Sanjeev Rajput made his debut at the Olympics. Despite qualifying for multiple events, he failed to advance to the final round in any of them.

However, at the 2012 London, Sanjeev Rajput qualified for just one event -- 50m rifle three positions. He again had a disappointing outing, finishing 26th and failing to enter the medal rounds.

After missing out on the 2016 Rio edition, Sanjeev, at the age of 40, is flying to Tokyo as one of the most experienced of the 15 shooters in the Indian contingent. This might well be his last opportunity to win an Olympic medal. The men's 50m rifle three positions event at Tokyo is scheduled for August 1-2.
