We Don't Say We Won Silver But Lost Gold: High-performance Manager Ronak Pandit On Level Of India Shooting
Sonam Uttam Maskar: After India’s silver-medal finish in the women’s 10m air rifle team event in Japan, Indian shooting high-performance manager Ronak Pandit said he was satisfied with the team silver, but said Indian shooting has reached a level where they did not say, "We won the silver, but started thinking that they lost the gold."
India won their first medal at the Asian Games 2026 in the women’s 10m air rifle team event after the trio of Sonam Uttam Maskar (634.1), Elavenil Valarivan (633.5) and Vidarsa K (630.4) combined to score 1898.0.
"The performances were satisfying. I think all the three girls shot very well. And of course, it's satisfying because of the gold. Indian shooting has reached a level where now we don't say we won the silver. We have now started thinking that we lost the gold. But India, China, Korea are all neck to neck. And surprisingly, Japan was a surprise contender. Suddenly, after the first relay, they were in the middle of the contention," Ronak told IANS.
