India’s shooting campaign at the Asian Games added another glorious chapter as the mixed skeet shooting pairing of Anantjeet Singh Naruka and Ganemat Sekhon secured a historic medal at the Fuyang Yinhu Sports Centre. The triumph ended a long continental medal absence in the specialized shotgun category, proving India’s rising competitiveness across clay target events.
Throughout rigorous qualifying series, the Indian marksmanship duo exhibited remarkable mental focus, shattering 146 out of 150 clay targets to earn a place in the bronze-medal shoot-off. In the tense head-to-head medal duel against Kuwait, Naruka registered clean hits across station sequences while Sekhon matched his precision to seal the victory under immense pressure.
National rifle and shotgun federation officials commended the shooters for demonstrating cool nerve against experienced continental rivals. Coaches highlighted that recent investments in specialized shotgun ranges and international sports psychology coaching have played an instrumental role in elevating Indian skeet shooters to the international podium.
