# Rudrankksh Patil, Tilottama Sen make Asian Games team after struggles 2026-08-12T19:14:05+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Rudrankksh Patil and Tilottama Sen have both been picked for India’s shooting squad for the 2026 Asian Games, Hindustan Times and Times of India report. Patil, the 2022 world champion in 10m air rifle, finished fourth in Hangzhou 2023 and missed the Paris Olympics. He then took up the 50m 3 Positions event, lost 13 kg, and changed his equipment and mindset. Sen, who won an Olympic quota at 15 but lost her place in trials, quit shooting for months out of frustration. She returned in the 50m 3P discipline under coach Manoj Kumar, and now trains for both events. Both shooters say they are at peace with their journeys. Patil will contest four events in Japan: 10m air rifle individual and team, 50m 3P, and mixed team. Sen has qualified in women’s 10m air rifle and 50m 3P. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: 10m air rifle, 50m 3 positions, Asian Games, Indian shooters, Rudrankksh Patil, shooting Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rudrankksh-patil-now-at-peace-targets-asian-games-medals/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
