Whatever Dhanush Has Achieved Is Because Of Gagan Narang, Says Dhanush Shrikanth’s Mother
Gun For Glory Shooting Academy: Telangana-born athlete Dhanush Srikanth (22) has made his mark at the World Deaf Shooting Championships in Hanover, Germany by winning three gold medals for India in the 10m Air Rifle events. He also broke the World record in qualification, at the World Deaf Shooting Championships, with a score of 632.7 and went on to clinch the gold medal in the 10m Individual Men’s Air Rifle event with a total of 251.7, setting yet another World Record.
Dhanush’s mother, Asha Srikanth shed light on his journey to becoming an ace shooter.
“Dhanush was born deaf but that didn’t stop him from playing sports. In school, he would always come back with medals. So, I put him in Taekwondo when he was in 3rd grade and right now, he is a Dan 2 Taekwondo black belt. He also used to shoot toy guns at home as a kid. He would hang a target on the door and shoot for hours. It was when Gagan Narang’s Gun for Glory Branch opened in Trimulgherry in 2015 that he joined and really got into professional shooting,” she said.
