From A TTE In Railways To Olympic Medallist: The Inspiring Journey Of Swapnil Kusale
ISSF World Shooting Championships: India's marksman Swapnil Kusale secured a bronze medal in the men's 50m rifle 3 positions event at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Swapnil qualified for the final round after finishing 7th with a total score of 590.
Born in 1995, Swapnil Kusale hails from a humble agricultural background and is a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) with the Pune Railway Division.
His journey into the world of sports began in 2009 when his father enrolled him in Maharashtra government's Krida Prabodhini, a primary sports program aimed at nurturing young talent. After a year of rigorous physical training, Kusale chose shooting as his sport of focus. His decision proved fortuitous, as he quickly ascended through the ranks, becoming a sponsored athlete under the Lakshya Sports banner in 2013.
