Camille Jedrzejewski
Nation: France
World Cup Ranking: 5
Qualification: ISSF World Cup Final Title Defender
With tears in her eyes, Camille Jedrzejewski celebrated in front of a home crowd in Chateauroux, having won the silver medal in the women's 25m pistol event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, becoming France's only shooting sport medallist there.
Despite coming up short to Yang Ji-in on the day, she established herself as one of France's best shooters and a darling of the national team, at just 22 years old. And most importantly, that she is a versatile athlete. Few athletes have the ability to make podiums in both the 10m and 25m distances - and in 2024, Jedrzejewski won World Cup golds in both events.
With that, the French athlete qualified for both events at the ISSF World Cup Final. This was the second year in a row that she had achieved this, having finished fifth in both in 2023. She would go on to win the 2024 ISSF World Cup Final in the 10m air pistol event, and took silver in the 25m discipline.
As the title defender, she qualifies again in the 10m distance, and has excelled this year in this event. Her sole World Cup appearance this year saw her finish second behind Suruchi Singh of India in Munich, coming close to a fourth World Cup victory. She also placed sixth at the European Championship in the distance, and 11th in the 25m pistol.
The season has been short so far, but Jedrzejewski has great form at the ISSF World Cup Final and will hope to defend her title successfully.

Suruchi Singh
Nation: India
World Cup Ranking: 1
Qualification: ISSF World Cup gold (Buenos Aires, Lima, Munich)
After a great campaign in South America, Suruchi Singh continued her form when she came to Munich, making her one of an exclusive few to remain undefeated on the ISSF World Cup circuit.
Spectacularly, the Indian only made her ISSF World Cup debut this season - winning her opening event by a sizable margin after performing well in the elimination stage in Buenos Aires. Then, in a symbolic moment, Singh beat compatriot and the nation's favourite Manu Bhaker to the gold in Lima, showing that the present and the future of Indian pistol shooting is in good hands.
Her third appearance, in Munich, saw a challenge from Jedrzejewski, but Singh managed to regain her lead on the final two shots. It was uncomfortably close, but it was much-needed experience for the 19-year-old.
Singh's only blip came in her second Asian Championship appearance, where she finished 12th in qualification for the event, meaning she missed the opportunity for continental silverware.
Despite this, Singh is looking like a legitimate contender heading into the 2025 ISSF World Cup Final.

Manu Bhaker
Nation: India
World Cup Ranking: 7
Qualification: ISSF World Cup silver (Lima)
Manu Bhaker has been referred as India's golden girl, after becoming the first woman from her country to win a shooting medal when she took bronze in the 10m air pistol at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and became the first Indian to win two medals at the same Olympics since India's independence, thanks to her mixed team bronze.
The euphoria of Chateauroux has also been met with the pressure of becoming the target. Bhaker won four golds and a bronze at the 2021 ISSF Junior World Championship and claimed three Asian senior titles in 2019 when she was just 17. Her first - and to date, only - individual World Cup gold came in 2018; while she won the World Cup Final title in 2019.
Performing exceptionally well as a rising star, she has had to get used to becoming a favourite. Since the 2018 World Cup win, she had made the podium four times, with a best of second in New Delhi in 2021. An individual world medal still eludes her, having a best finish of 10th in Cairo.
Yet there is a reason why the largest nation in the world has so much affection for her - Bhaker can produce brilliance.
She narrowly missed the medals in the 25m event in Paris too and was close to the finals in all events three years earlier in Tokyo. Heading into this season, she looked to pick up the form that saw her make history in France.
And she has been very impressive. After a 13th-place finish over 10m in Buenos Aires, she made the final of the 25m discipline, finishing sixth. While she improved to fourth over 25m in Lima, she also claimed a silver medal in the 10m distance behind Suruchi Singh - showing her form from 2024 had spilled over into this year. It was her best World Cup result in four years.
She would also finish sixth over 25m in Munich, and narrowly missed the mixed team medals on two occasions throughout the season, finishing fourth. In total, Bhaker has made four individual finals in the World Cup season, and would add another Asian medal to her name after claiming bronze in the 10m air pistol in Shymkent.
That brilliance has been shining through most of the year for Bhaker and when she gets it right, she is one of the best in the world. Six years on from her ISSF World Cup Final debut, she will be looking to win the 10m air pistol title again.

Yao Qianxun
Nation: China
World Cup Ranking: 2
Qualification: ISSF World Cup bronze (Munich)
Qualifying from third might seem like a stroke of luck for Yao Qianxun, but the Chinese athlete has been better than any other athlete this season, aside from the indomitable Suruchi Singh.
Yao, much like a few of her teammates, made her World Cup debut last year in Munich, finishing in a humble 42nd position. Yet, she started 2025 like a changed athlete, clearly maturing well over the winter. She finished fourth in the 10m air pistol final in Buenos Aires, while placing ninth in the 25m qualification.
This would be followed up by double bronze medals in the 10m and 25m distances, while achieving a second mixed team silver. In a matter of weeks, Yao went from zero podiums, to four. In Munich, she upgraded her mixed team silver to gold. Also in Munich, she won the bronze medal to qualify for Doha.
But how? Well, Singh had already qualified by virtue of being unstoppable, while the Chinese athlete finished on the final spot on the podium behind Camille Jedrzejewski, the defending title holder from the ISSF World Cup Final.
It must be said, Yao would have always qualified, considering her World Cup ranking and her silver medal that followed in Ningbo. Having competed in 12 World Cup events this season and having a lowest finish of ninth, she is one of the favourites for the gold in Qatar.

Esha Singh
Nation: India
World Cup Ranking: 15
Qualification: ISSF World Cup gold (Ningbo)
With the absence of her teammate Suruchi Singh, there was an opportunity for Esha Singh to continue India's perfect run in the women's 10m air pistol. Suruchi decided to skip Ningbo, with three wins from three, meaning the winner of the gold medal would likely be the athlete securing their spot at the ISSF World Cup Final.
The 20-year-old had a strong start to the year when she took silver in the 25m discipline behind Sun Yujie of China and then placed sixth in Lima a fortnight later. An 11th place finish came in Munich in the distance too.
But what is notable is Singh did not compete over the shorter distance on the World Cup circuit until heading to Ningbo. She finished sixth and 10th in the 25m pistol and 10m air pistol respectively in the Asian Championship. She has shown versatility in the past, including when she won the 10m, 25m and mixed team gold medals at the 2022 ISSF Junior World Championships in Cairo.
In Ningbo, she was locked in the 10m distance with China's Yao Qianxun, who had previously taken bronzes in Lima and Munich. In the end, they were separated by 0.1 points, and it was Singh who would secure the win and the spot at the ISSF World Cup Final. Singh was in Doha two years ago, finishing 13th there in the 10m event. This time, she will hope for an improved result.

Qian Wei
Nation: China
World Cup Ranking: 3
Qualification: ISSF World Cup rankings
In the opening leg of the season, Qian Wei would match her best result in Buenos Aires, winning a silver medal, contributing towards her ranking that sees her make the cut for Doha.
It was her joint-best World Cup result, having finished second six years ago in Munich. In a sea of prodigies, Qian is the experienced member of the pistol team at the age of 31. 2025 can be considered her best season since 2019 too. Back then, Qian would qualify for the ISSF World Cup Final in Putian, finishing ninth. Her return comes with a degree of consistency.
While Qian would not make the podium in her other two World Cup appearances this year, she would be the first non-qualifier in Lima where she finished ninth, and placed seventh in the final in Munich. With no terrible performances this season, Qian should be considered as a dark horse in the field.

Jiang Ranxin
Nation: China
World Cup Ranking: 4
Qualification: ISSF World Cup rankings
A bronze medallist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Jiang Ranxin has had consistent results in the past two years
and is now set to make the ISSF World Cup Final for the third year in a row.
The 2023 world champion has made regular appearances in the fight for the medals since she took that gold in Baku, making the Paris 2024 final in the event too, finishing sixth. In Argentina, she stood on the podium for the fourth time on the World Cup circuit when she won bronze behind Suruchi Singh and her teammate Qian Wei.
Much like Qian, all three of her World Cup results this year have put her in the top 10 - placing 10th in Lima and sixth in Munich. The last time she was in Doha, she won bronze on her ISSF World Cup Final debut. This year, there is opportunity to go even higher.
