Amazing to see so many young girls from Maharashtra dominating the medal tally! Shambhavi Kshirsagar scoring 633.9 in qualification and then silver in junior women - she's one to watch. And my goodness, Tejaswani Sawant and Anjali Bhagwat still competing in Masters category? Legends who keep inspiring! 🇮🇳

The competition level is getting incredibly high. Qualification scores in the 630s and finals with 252+ - these girls are shooting world-class numbers. But I wish more states beyond Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Railways were represented. We need to develop infrastructure in smaller towns too. Still, congratulations to all medalists!

So happy to see Karnataka's Sanvi R.P winning gold in Youth Women! And Ojasvi Thakur from Punjab just 0.1 behind her - wow! These young shooters are making us proud at such tender ages. Also impressed by Arikta Singh - gold in Sub Youth Women and fourth in Junior Women. She's going places! 💪

The depth in women's shooting is incredible. Look at the team scores - Maharashtra 1894.3, Railways 1885.8, UP 1884.7. Such close competitions! But I feel we should organize more such championships at district levels to find hidden talents. Many girls from rural areas could shine if given proper coaching. Chalo, kudos to NRAI!
