General
BITTER MOMENT
Her first major senior tournament representing India was at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia. She claimed silver in 10m air rifle but mistakenly believed she had won gold. "I thought I had won the gold medal when I came up with the 10.9 shot and turned back to celebrate. But it turned out to be a huge misunderstanding. It was quite a while later that I was told I had only tied the score with Singapore's Martina Lindsay Veloso. By then I had lost my concentration and I had to be content with a silver medal on my Commonwealth Games debut. I carry that lesson with me every day. I still don't move after my final shot. I wait for the scores to come up before I disarm my gun." (thebridge, 25 Aug 2022)
