· Sports · Times of India, Indian Express, Sportstar
Indian skeet shooter Mairaj Ahmad Khan stated that India's historic run of three medals at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games sets a strong platform for the Los Angeles Olympics. India secured medals in all three skeet team events over two days, with the men's team, women's team, and mixed team all reaching the podium in Japan. Mairaj, who won bronze as part of the men's skeet team alongside Anantjeet Singh Naruka and Bhavtegh Singh Gill after prevailing over Kazakhstan in a shoot-out with 346 points, expressed belief that the squad could have won gold. The veteran shooter noted that mental fatigue from a busy international calendar impacted his individual performance, but praised the historic breakthrough achieved by the women's team.
Why it matters
The historic medal haul marks a major milestone for Indian shooting disciplines in continental competition and builds momentum toward future Olympic cycles.
