Shiva Narwal said that he is feeling happier since his brother Manish Narwal secured a quota spot for the Paris 2024. Shiva added that it is a happy moment for his family and the whole nation
Shooter Shiva Narwal's 10m air pistol team gold achievement seems insignificant and trivial to his father Dilbagh, who wants his son to win individual medals like his elder brother Manish, who has earned the sobriquet of 'Haryana Rodways bus' that stays ahead of others. The 17-year-old Shiva finished a distant 14th after the qualification round and missed the eight-shooter individual finals. However, in the team event, Shiva combined with Sarabjot Singh and Arjun Singh Cheema to take the top place on the podium. Dilbagh's reaction is not surprising as the family has a history of individual success at the big stage. Shiva's elder brother Manish is a 2020 Tokyo Paralymics gold medallist in 50m pistol and recently returned from the WSPS World Championships in Lima with a 10m air pistol title along with 2024 Paris Paralympics quota place. Manish is also a recipient of the highest sporting honour in the county -- the Khel Ratna. "I want Shiva to be like Manish, who has always returned
