'No Pressure, Only Enthusiasm': Varun Tomar Excited For Inaugural SLI Season
ISSF World Cup: The first edition of the Shooting League of India is all set to kick off this year in New Delhi. Aiming to help push shooting as a sport further into the Indian and global mainstream and provide increased exposure to the shooters, the buzz surrounding the tournament is starting to spread among the athletes, with more than 400 athletes from within India, and around the world having registered to partake in the inaugural edition of the tournament.
The prominent Indian shooter Varun Tomar, who won a gold medal at the 2022 ISSF World Cup in Cairo, poised to be one of the flagship players in the tournament expressed his excitement for the launch. Considered one of the best young shooters in the country, he is most prominently known for his role in helping secure India a quota in the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning a gold medal in the 10m air pistol event at the Asian Olympics Qualifiers in Jakarta.
The shooter praised the increased exposure the Shooting League of India would bring to shooters. “People would come to know us, and our personalities better, like we have seen with athletes from other sports like Neeraj Chopra, people would come to understand shooters more deeply,” he said.
