No olympics
India End With 50 Gold Medals For Its Best-ever Showing In Asian Shooting Championship
Particularly pleasing was the senior team’s performance in the 15 Olympic events across the rifle, pistol, and shotgun disciplines, where Indian shooters won six gold, two silver, and three bronze medals, finishing behind global powerhouse China, which won eight gold medals, with hosts Kazakhstan picking up the other.
“It is a spectacular performance, and it is quite clear that the confidence of the shooting ecosystem is sky-high and significantly boosted by our performance at the Paris Olympics. Particularly pleasing is the performance of the juniors, which tells you that Indian shooting has just begun and greater things are sure to come in the near future,” said a pleased Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, President, National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), on the performance.
