Asian Games 2023: Beating China would have enhanced shooters' confidence

Indian shooters beating the Chinese in their own den at the ongoing Asian Games has enhanced their "self-belief" and given them the confidence that they can beat the "best in the world", said pistol coach Samaresh Jung following the country's marksmen's sizzling performance at the continental showpiece. Jung, who is in Hangzhou with the Indian contingent, added that the success of the band of young shooters at the Asian Games was a significant "milestone" in their sporting journey. "They (shooters) need to believe that they can do it, and now they have seen it. Beating a powerhouse like China in China is a big thing and it would certainly enhance their self-belief. This made them realise that they can beat the world," said Jung, who had won five gold medals at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, earning him the sobriquet 'Goldfinger'. "It is the beginning of their journey as they are just 18, 19 or 20-years-old. They have a long way to go but this Asian Games would be the milesto

Asian Games 2023: Father Dilbagh not happy with Shiva's team shooting gold

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
