Not only does this mark India’s first medal at the Paris Olympics with hopefully many more to come, but also spells out a redemption arc for the 22-year old athlete herself. Here’s taking a look at her inspiring journey to Olympic glory.
In an interview she recalled, “When I fixed the lever and adjusted the grip and I inserted the circuit, it stopped working. So it was like a double problem. I was blank. I wasn’t expecting so many problems in an air pistol…My time was (lapsing) so I had to shoot. I had no option”.
