Ace Indian pistol shooter Esha Singh showcased remarkable temperament and technical execution to capture the silver medal in the women’s twenty-five-meter pistol event on Day 10 of the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya. The twenty-one-year-old marksman from Hyderabad held her composure through a demanding rapid-fire elimination stage, hitting thirty-six out of fifty championship targets to claim second spot on the podium.
Competing against a world-class field featuring Olympic medalists from South Korea and China, Singh demonstrated exceptional sight alignment and trigger control under strict timing limits. Her aggressive shooting in the middle qualification series secured her berth in the four-person elimination shootout, where she held off a late push from the bronze-winning shooter to seal the silver medal for India.
National pistol coaches praised Singh’s consistent progression and technical discipline, emphasizing that medaling across major senior continental championships highlights her readiness for forthcoming global World Cup stages. Traveling Indian supporters gave her a standing ovation as she accepted her medal at the shooting range.
