Asian Games: Mesmerising Sift Kaur Samra Wins First Rifle Gold For India With World Record
Fuyang Yinhu Sports Centre: Just a year or so back, Sift Kaur Samra was contemplating quitting shooting to concentrate on MBBS studies as she was finding it difficult to juggle studies with sports.
She went to the subsequent National Shooting Championships aiming to take one last shot at the sport before concentrating on her studies. She set the national record in that event in Bhopal and decided to continue.
On Wednesday, Sift Kaur made history for India by becoming the first rifle shooter, male or female, to win an Asian Games gold medal, bagging the yellow metal in Women's 50m Rifle 3-Postitions with a World Record to boot.
