Glory shooting academy

Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation: Even though they missed out on a medal, the fine performance by Ramita Thapar and Elavenil Valarivan at the Paris Olympic Games signals the rise of rife shooting, says coach Neha who is associated with Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation and Gun For Glory Shooting Academy.

The 20-year-old Ramita reached the Final in her Olympic debut, becoming the first female shooter after Suma Shirur to do so. While she finished seventh in the final, her remarkable comeback in the last series of the qualification and her brave performance in the final won hearts. Elavenil also started strongly in the qualification round but missed out on a chance to reach the final.

The performance of the two shooters showcased the success of the shooting programme at the Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation (GNSPF) where both have them have trained under the impeccable guidance of coach Neha.
