Reigning 10m air pistol World Champion Samrat Rana, current 25m rapid fire pistol silver medallist Anish Bhanwala, Paris Olympic double medallist Manu Bhaker — a crack Indian shooting team will kickstart the Asian Shooting Championships at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range from Wednesday with an intense year of domestic and international competitions in the offing. The first international tournament of the year has come at a restrained pace for the Indians who can take solace in a tournament that won’t have Chinese shooters, and a curtailed Korean squad – two countries that aren’t just significant challenges at the Asian level but genuine world class shooting squads. In that Indian shooters have the chance to pick up plenty of medals at the continental level without having to completely push their limits. Shooters from Japan and Kazakhstan offer competition, but overall the Indian squad remains top-tier in the world of shooting, something that should reflect in the medal tally not just at the senior, but at the junior and youth levels of this tournament. This year …

How Anjum Moudgil brushed away blues after falling out of love with shooting and painting | Sport-others News

Published by Webster

Anjum Moudgil knew the exact moment when she realised she wasn’t ‘doing well mentally’. “It was when I stopped painting.” Anjum is a former world No.1 shooter, a world championship medallist and an Olympian. But she’s a lot more than a rifle-wielding 30-year-old. She can juggle fire, used to box and perform deadlifts. The colourful strokes of brush, however, gave her a real sense of purpose. Anjum painted for herself and her teammates. During the pandemic, she even auctioned her artwork, the proceeds of which were donated to the needy. So, when she suddenly lost interest in painting during a dip in form, it triggered alarm bells. “I was just shooting, giving everything to shooting. I didn’t like that,” she said. Obsessing over results, she first fell out of love with the sport. And thenwas out of the Indian team. On Friday, after spending the whole of 2023 on the sideline, Anjum returned to the national team for the Paris Olympics. She did enough to finish second after the conclusion of the selection trials in …
