'Garv Hai' athlete Abhimanyu Singh Bhati strikes gold at All India Open Shooting C'ship
Ahmedabad, August 5
Adani Sportsline's 'Garv Hai' athlete Abhimanyu Singh Bhati won the gold medal in the Men's Skeet event at the All India Open Shooting Championship, organised by the National Rifle Association of India at the New Moti Bagh Gun Club in Patiala, Punjab.
Abhimanyu delivered a composed performance throughout the competition despite competing on an unfamiliar range and in challenging weather conditions. Guided by his coach, Mr Kesari Singh Bhati, he adapted quickly and relied on disciplined execution to finish on top of the podium.
"The range was different from what I train on and the weather was also challenging, but I trusted my preparation and stayed focused on the basics. Winning this competition gives me a lot of confidence going into the National Shooting Championship. Adani Sportsline's support has played an important role in helping me prepare and perform at my best," said Abhimanyu.
Through Adani Sportsline's 'Garv Hai' initiative, Abhimanyu receives specialist support in physiotherapy and mental conditioning, helping him prepare for elite competition.
Patiala has given Abhimanyu plenty to celebrate. His attention now turns to the National Shooting Championship in December, with the confidence of a title-winning performance behind him.

So proud to see Indian shooters excelling! The dedication and hard work Abhimanyu has put in is truly inspiring. It's heartening that corporate giants like Adani are stepping up to support grassroots sports. This is how we build a sporting nation. 👏🏽
Great story of perseverance. The support system around Abhimanyu—coach, physio, mental conditioning—seems well-structured. It's a good sign for Indian sports that private players are investing in athlete development. Congrats to the team!
kudos to Abhimanyu and his coach! But honestly, we need more such initiatives at the state and district levels too. The talent is there in small towns, but the support ecosystem is missing. Adani Sportsline's model should be replicated by more corporates. Let's hope this trend continues. All the best for December! 🎯
Wonderful achievement! The fact that he could adapt so quickly to a new range says a lot about his training. And the 'Garv Hai' initiative is a perfect example of how structured support can make a difference. This is exactly what India needs to compete at the Olympics level. Very proud moment for Indian shooting. 🙌
Well-deserved win! The weather and range conditions would have been tough, but that's what separates champions from the rest. It's also encouraging to see the private sector actively contributing to sports development. The Adani Group's vision for grassroots sports could really change the landscape in India.
