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

Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira reveals why they didn't talk for 4 years: ‘Silly sibling squabble escalated due to egos'

Around 2 weeks ago on June 12, Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband and prominent Indian businessman Sunjay Kapur passed away after suffering from a fatal heart attack. It was triggered by a bee sting in his mouth while the 53-year-old Chairman of Sona Comstar Ltd was playing a polo match in the UK. Sunjay is survived by his third wife Priya Sachdev, their son Azarias and his two children with Karisma — Samaira and Kiaan. A few days after his sudden demise, Sunjay's family hosted a prayer meeting which was also attended by Karisma, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan. Sunjay's sister Mandhira Kapur has now penned an emotional note for her late bhaiya, revealing that they were estranged for 4 long years. Sunjay Kapur and his sister Mandhira Kapur Along with unseen childhood pictures, Mandhira Kapur shared, 'My brother and I may not have spoken for the last 4 years, a silly sibling squabble escalated to crazy levels due to egos and natural bullishness, however, that will never take back what we were and what we had. The phenomenal times we experienced, a privileged childhood of happiness with 2 wonderful parents, the secrets we would keep, the staying up late and sneaking out of the house even later, the stupid in-jokes that the 3 of us kept going for years, the hours of laughter we shared whilst others would stare at us in utter confusion.' Sharing a lesson for her followers and everybody reading, Mandhira wrote, 'To anyone and everyone who has fallen out with someone they love, be it family or friend, please learn from my story, life is fragile and delicate, each day is a gift, do not miss a day even an hour in some fickleness, you can never be assured that you will have the opportunity to repair the void and if you don't, then that's pretty much all that is left, coupled with regret. I would give anything to just see my bhaiya one last time and tell him how much I love him.' Sunjay's first wife and designer Nandita Mahtani dropped a string of heart emojis in the comment section below. We wish the family peace as they cope with the heartbreaking loss.
