Kim Hyon Suk: India’s Esha Singh produced a remarkable fightback under intense pressure to win the silver medal in the women’s 25m pistol event at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya on Monday, surviving multiple shoot-offs before finishing second on the podium.

This is Esha's third silver in the Asian Games, having won silver in the 10m Air pistol individual event and team event in Hangzhou 2023,

Esha entered the final having only narrowly secured her place among the top eight, qualifying in eighth position after scoring 580-22x. But the Indian quickly put that behind her once the medal round began, opening the final with a perfect five hits from five shots.
