Indian Shooters Celebrate Olympic Day; Aim For More Glory After Historic Run

Last Updated: The Indian shooting team celebrated Olympic Day with confidence. Manu Bhaker and Swapnil Kusale made history at the Paris Games and aim for more medals at the 2028 LA Olympics. The Indian shooting team celebrated Olympic Day on Monday with a sense of confidence about their continued success in upcoming Olympic events. At the Paris Games last year, India sent a 21-member team to compete in all 15 shooting events. Manu Bhaker made history by winning two medals in the women's 10m air pistol event and the 10m air pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh. She became the only Indian athlete to win two medals in a single Olympic edition. Swapnil Kusale also made history by securing India's only Olympic medal in the men's 50m rifle 3 positions. With three out of six medals at the 2024 Olympics being won by shooters, the sport gained immense popularity in India, and the athletes received global recognition. Following their success at the recently concluded ISSF World Cup 2025 in Munich, where Indian shooters clinched four medals—two gold and two bronze—they expressed hopes of maintaining their winning streak in the future. They aim for greater success at the next Olympic edition in Los Angeles, USA, in 2028. Speaking on the significance of Olympic Day, Paris Games bronze medallist Sarabjot stated, 'This day is an important one for all of us and it reminds us of the efforts we all put in to earn the opportunity to compete in the biggest sporting event. For an athlete, a chance to represent the nation on the Olympic stage is the highest achievement. For me, to win a medal and stand on the podium is a memory that I will cherish forever." He further added, 'Our success at the Paris Olympics and the recent shooting events this year has truly sparked a fire within all the athletes to do our best. We are confident that the Indian shooters will win even more medals in LA and continue to make the nation proud." Paris Olympics medal-winning shooter Kusale echoed Sarabjot's sentiments, stating, 'Because of our success last year at the Games, all of us feel excited to celebrate the Olympic Day this year. We feel the eyes of the nation are upon us now and the entire country is praying and wishing for our success in each and every competition." 'While it is an additional responsibility to repay their faith, it also motivates us to continue to do better and make the nation proud. I am confident that India's Olympic success story in shooting will see a new chapter at the LA Games in 2028," he concluded. (With IANS Inputs). First Published: June 23, 2025, 13:37 IST

‘I can see a little bit of Rishabh Pant in him': Pujara makes staggering comparison for ENG star, says ‘not many can…'

Harry Brook put in a dominant batting display for England on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test vs India, in Leeds. The English batter was sent at No. 5 on Day 2, and managed to remain unbeaten, but also failed to open his account. He was almost dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah, but the delivery was adjudged as no-ball as the India pacer overstepped. India's Rishabh Pant plays a shot.(@BCCI X) On Day 3, Brook took charge, smacking 99 runs off 112 balls, at an average of 88.39. His knock also consisted of 11 fours and two sixes, but narrowly missed out on a century. Speaking to Sony Sports, Cheteshwar Pujara dissected Brook's performance and also reflected on his time with the batter in the English domestic setup. 'I've seen his journey when I was playing for Yorkshire, he made his first-class debut. So since then he has matured and he's playing and he's leading in the white circuit for the England team, so he knows, understands his responsibility and the kind of shots he played today—I mean, not many players can do that,' he said. Pujara also went on to compare Brook to Rishabh Pant, who got an entertaining ton in the first innings. 'I can see a little bit of Rishabh Pant in him because he's stepping down, although both have different approach, but both of them are fearless. Both of them are trying to disrupt bowler's length, and they are trying to put pressure on back on the bowlers and that's why that's the key, because whenever the team is in trouble,' he said. 'Those are the guys who put pressure back on the bowlers and take the game away from you very quickly. Harry Brook is one of them who bats very quickly. His strike rate is always on the higher side, which is always difficult for the opposition team,' he further added. England posted 465 in their first innings, in response to India's 471. India managed to reach 90/2 at Stumps on Day 3, and lead by 96 runs. KL Rahul (47*) and skipper Shubman Gill (6*) will resume batting for the visitors on Day 4.
