'This Silver Is As Good As Gold': Esha's Father After Daughter's Medal At Asiad
General Shooting Gallery: Young Indian shooter Esha Singh's father Sachin Singh heaped praise on his daughter for keeping calm in intense situations and winning a silver medal in the women's 25m pistol event at the Aichi Pref. General Shooting Gallery here on Monday.
Esha won the silver after battling past North Korea's Kim Hyon Suk in the silver-assuring shoot-off that went to a three-shoot-off series after the two were tied in the first two shoot-off series. However, she lost a two-series shoot-off to China's Xiao Jiaruixuan for the gold medal push.
Not just her opponents, Esha, the twin medallist from the Hangzhou Games, also had to contend with a couple of sudden breaks by the organisers during her shoot-offs, which generally breaks the momentum of the athletes. However, it wasn't the case with Esha, who won an impressive silver after the women's team bottled up a medal in the 25m pistol team event.
