Global sports summit

Global Sports Summit: Shooting contributed in a major way to India’s medal tally at the 2024 Paris Olympics by bagging three medals, two of which were earned by Manu Bhaker. Shotgun shooter Shagun Chowdhary believes Indian shooting is well-placed to fetch a lot more medals in many future editions of the Olympics.

“Indian shooting has been having quite a few glorious years and it's just the amount of effort and hard work that the kids have put in that have culminated in results eventually. I think we all look for immediate gains, but what's really needed is to focus on long term goals because sports is a long term association.

“It takes a long time in order to (get results), as a lot of hard work and time and experience (is put in) to get that one medal. So just have patience and Indian shooting has a lot more to offer in the next, many, many Olympics,” said Shagun in an exclusive conversation with IANS on the sidelines of ‘TURF 2024’, the 14th Global Sports Summit organised by FICCI at their headquarters in New Delhi.
