Incredible to see so many young shooters from across India competing at this level. The junior and youth categories are especially impressive. Piyush Sharma with 631.7 in qualification at that age - wow! The future of Indian shooting looks bright.
Lovely to see West Bengal's Abhinav Shaw winning the youth men's title with 254.4! That's a world-class score. However, I hope the authorities are also focusing on mental health support for these athletes. The pressure at this level can be immense, especially for teenagers. 🤔
Fantastic to see the 50m Rifle Prone events getting attention too. Chain Singh from Army and Swapnil Kusale from Railways showing their class. The Army-Railways rivalry in shooting is always exciting to watch. Hope these boys get enough international exposure now.
What a competition! The level of scores in qualification is mind-boggling. Paarth Makhija with 633.4 is simply outstanding. But one thing I noticed - the coverage of these events is still minimal outside shooting circles. Our media needs to give more attention to these achievers. 🙏
Impressive depth in Indian shooting. Rudrankksh Patil coming from 4th in qualification to win gold in the final - that's champion mentality. And the junior categories show we're building for the future. Well organized event by MP Shooting Academy too.
