After helping the Indian team including Divyansh Panwar and Rudranksh Patil in the 10m Air Rifle Team competition with a world record score, Tomar went on to win bronze in the Individual event, overcoming teammate Rudrankksh Patil in a shootout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 22-year-old from Madhya Pradesh was disappointed not to win a gold medal in the individual competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I am a little disappointed that I didn't win a gold medal (in the individual event), but I am really happy that I won a team gold medal with the world record, said Tomar after the final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The Chinese shooter shot incredibly well today. I tried my best and faced a tough fight from the Korean shooter and Rudransh (Patil),\" said Tomar, who was very consistent on Monday, scoring in 10+ range except on the 22nd turn when he had a 9.8 and lost out to Korean Park Hajun, who shot 10.4 to get into silver medal position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The youngster from Khargone, however, said it was still a good start for him as this is his first Asian Games and he still has to participate in the men's 50m Rifle 3-positions event which will be held a few days from now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Winning two medals on the opening day is always amorale booster. I will now go into the 50m Rifle 3-position event with a lot more confidence. I hope to do well in that event too,\" said Tomar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said playing a shoot-off with teammate Rudransh Patil did not affect him much as he considers such things as part and parcel of the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Normally, I would like to avoid shoot-offs altogether but having one with a teammate more so but then it is part and parcel of competitive sport,' said said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
About his teammates in the 10m air rifle event, Tomar said both Divyansh Panwar and Rudrankksh Patil are perfect athletes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"They are extremely good players of India. In the 10m event, they are both perfect athletes. Playing with them is huge, it's really good.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now that the men's 10m Air Rifle event is over, Tomar will have a couple of day's rest before he goes into 50m Rifle 3-position competitions -- team and individual.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said celebrations will have to wait for him till the end of the 50m event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I still have one more event, so the celebrations will have to wait. But I will have a big celebration with my family after going back home,\" said Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, who took to shooting at a young age by watching his father shoot targets in their fields in Khargon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He started with toy guns and soon graduated to real equipment. \"We are Rajputs, so we keep weapons in our house. Moreover, my father is a farmer so he used to keep guns. From a very young age, I used to go to the fields and try shooting targets,\" Tomar once said in an interview about how he took to shooting as a sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the Asian Games, Tomar will turn his attention towards qualifying for the Paris Olympic Games in which his teammate Rudranksh Patil has already bagged a quota place for the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I aim always is not to participate in the Olympics and to win a medal. That has been my dream from the start and hope to one day achieve it,\" said Tomar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/09\/asian-games-disappointed-not-to-win-gold-in-individual-event-says-tomar-after-bagging-gold-and-bronze.jpg", "alt_img": "Asian Games: Disappointed not to win gold in individual event, says Tomar after bagging gold and bro", "alt_title": "Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar wins Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Air Rifle T2 trial", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Asian Games: Disappointed Not To Win Gold In Individual Event, Says Tomar After Bagging Gold And Bronze On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Asian Games: Disappointed Not To Win Gold In Individual Event, Says Tomar After Bagging Gold And Bronze, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar: Winning a gold and bronze medal in the men's 10m Air Rifle competition at the Asian.", "seo_keywords": "Air Rifle, Asian Games, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Divyansh Panwar, Rudranksh Patil, Air Rifle Team, Rudrankksh Patil, Madhya Pradesh, The Chinese, Korean Park Hajun, Rudransh Patil, Paris Olympic Games", "tag": "", "tagging": "Air Rifle, Asian Games, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Divyansh Panwar, Rudranksh Patil, Air Rifle Team, Rudrankksh Patil, Madhya Pradesh, The Chinese, Korean Park Hajun, Rudransh Patil, Paris Olympic Games", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "asian-games-disappointed-not-to-win-gold-in-individual-event-says-tomar-after-bagging-gold-and-bronze", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1055", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-09-25 12:52:02", "updated": "2023-09-25 12:52:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Air Rifle, Asian Games, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Divyansh Panwar, Rudranksh Patil, Air Rifle Team, Rudrankksh Patil, Madhya Pradesh, The Chinese, Korean Park Hajun, Rudransh Patil, Paris Olympic Games", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-09-25 12:52:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "798122", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/asian-games-disappointed-not-to-win-gold-in-individual-event-says-tomar-after-bagging-gold-and-bronze-8855" }
