India’s trap shooting coach Dradi says he has liver cancer, Paris preparations could be hit

India’s shotgun foreign coach, Italy’s Marcello Dradi on Monday revealed that he is suffering from liver cancer, which would come as bad news for the country’s trap shooters preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Dradi was hired early last year by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) on the recommendations of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) after Australian shotgun expert Russell Mark, the 1996 Atlanta Olympics gold medallist in double trap, and his wife, skeet coach Lauryn Mark, quit following alleged differences with the national sports body for shooting.
