Vishnu Saravanan finished 20th in the men's laser event for the best ever finish by an Indian sailor in the event.

The qualification period for the sailing event commenced at the 2018 Sailing World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark where about forty percent of the total quota was awarded to the top NOCs. Six quota places were allocated at the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 Pan American Games, with 61 quotas across events distributed to the sailors at the World Championships in 2019. The final continental qualification regattas were held in 2021 to decide the remainder of the total quota.[156][157]

Indian sailors qualified one boat for each of the men's laser, men's 49er and Women's laser radial events at the Asian continental regatta held in April 2021. This was the first time India qualified for multiple sailing events at a single Games.[158] Vishnu Saravanan qualified for the men's laser event for the first time with the duo of K.C. Ganapathy and Varun Thakkar competing in the men's 49er event. In the women's laser radial event, Nethra Kumanan became the first Indian woman to qualify for the sailing event at the Summer Games.[158][159]

The sailing events were held off the coast of Enoshima from 25 July to 1 August.[160] In the men's laser event, Sarvanan was ranked 14th after the first round but slipped down the rankings in the later rounds. He finished with 156 net points to be ranked 20th and recorded the best ever finish by an Indian sailor in the event.[159][161] In the 49er event, the Indian duo were classified 17th amongst the 20 boats in the competition.[162] In the women's laser radial event, Kumanan finished the first round in 33rd amongst the 41 competitors but recovered to finish in the top 20 in the next two rounds. But, she slipped down the order in the later and ended with 251 net points to be ranked 35th in the final classification.[163][164]

Manu Bhaker teamed up with Saurabh Chaudry to qualify for the mixed 10 m air pistol semi-finals, but finished seventh. Abhishek Verma (left) shooting at the 10 m air pistol event.

As per the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) guidelines, quota places for the Games were allocated to the NOCs based on the results at designated ISSF supervised events held from 1 September 2018 to 6 June 2021. Four quota places in individual events were awarded to the shooters who competed in the respective mixed team events (rifle, pistol, and trap). Initial quota places were allocated only to the NOCs, who were then allowed to choose the individual shooters. After the initial quotas were allocated, shooters were granted entries based on the ISSF world rankings, which were awarded directly to the individual shooters and were not permitted to be changed by the NOCs.[165][166]

India secured 15 quota places for the Games.[167][168] At the 2018 ISSF World Shooting Championships held in September 2018 in Changwon, South Korea, Anjum Modgil and Apurvi Chandela secured India's first two quotas for the women's 10 m air rifle event by finishing second and fourth respectively. In the first ISSF World Cup in 2019 held at New Delhi, Saurabh Chaudhary secured a quota for the men's 10 m air pistol event. Abhishek Verma secured a second quota in the same category after he won the gold medal at the ISSF World Cup held at Beijing. In the same event, Divyansh Singh Panwar secured a quota for the men's 10 m air rifle event. Rahi Sarnobat achieved an Olympic berth in the women's 25 m pistol and Manu Bhaker won a quota in the women's 10 m air pistol in the subsequent World Cup event held at Munich. In the 10 m air pistol event, India achieved a second quota after Yashaswini Deswal won gold in the World Cup event at Rio de Janeiro while Sanjeev Rajput claimed a quota in the men's 50 m rifle three positions at the same event.[169]

India claimed six more Olympic berths at the 2019 Asian Shooting Championships held at Doha. Deepak Kumar won a second quota in the men's 10 m air rifle event after he secured a bronze medal. In the women's 25 m pistol, Chinki Yadav achieved a second quota after she won the event. Tejaswini Sawant and Aishwary Tomar secured spots in the women's and men's 50 m rifle three positions events respectively. Angad Bajwa and Mairaj Ahmad Khan secured spots in the men's skeet competition after finishing in the top two in the skeet event.[169] On 5 April 2021, National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) officially announced a squad of fourteen shooters for the rescheduled Games. As Bhaker achieved an additional quota in the women's 25 m pistol event, NRAI opted to exchange the quota achieved by Yadav for an additional place in the women's 50 m rifle 3 positions event, which was eventually awarded to Moudgil. Elavenil Valarivan took the spot secured by Moudgil in the 10 m air rifle event while rest of the qualifiers were granted entries to the respective events in which they qualified. India also secured entries for two teams each in the 10 m air rifle and 10m air pistol mixed team events.[169][170][171]

The shooting events were held from 24 July to 2 August 2021 at the Asaka Shooting Range.[172][173] Despite having 20 entries across ten events, the Indian shooters fared poorly and won no medals. Except Chaudhary and Bhaker, the other shooters failed to qualify for the final rounds.[174] In the men's 10 m air pistol event, Chaudhary topped the qualifiers with a score of 586 but finished seventh amongst the eight finalists.[174][175] Similarly in the mixed event, Chaudhary teamed with Bhaker to qualify on top with a score of 582 but finished in seventh place in the final standings.[174][176]

As per the International Tennis Federation, the main qualifying criterion was based on the players' positions on the ATP Entry Ranking and WTA ranking lists published on 14 June 2021. Additionally, players had to have been part of the nominated team for three Billie Jean King Cup (women) or Davis Cup (men) events between the 2016 and 2020.

Mirza partnered Ankita Raina in the event.[199][201] This was the fourth Olympic participation for Mirza, who had reached the semi-finals in the 2016 Games, narrowly missing out on a medal.[202][203][204]
