Mehuli Ghosh: A loss for swimming, a win for shooting

The Hindu  

It was the news of an accident that forced a very young Mehuli Ghosh to quit the sport her parents had initially chosen for her. I convinced my parents to let me join the training,” says Mehuli, reflecting on the time she decided to take up shooting as a young 13-year-old. We used to accompany her to different competitions and thankfully after she was adopted by Joydeep Sir, the travelling schedule eased quite a bit,” Mitali says about the initial days of Mehuli’s shooting career. Karmakar, who is also monitoring her progress as the high-performance coach for the Olympic Gold Quest programme, said an Olympic medal is a big possibility as Mehuli’s intelligence and commitment towards the sport is “phenomenal.” He is confident about the fact that she knows how to handle success at such a young age. This kind of score will take me to the top eight of any international event.” Recalling an incident from the recent World Cup, Mehuli, with a hint of pride in her eyes, says: “This year in the World Cup event in Munich, which is called best of all World Cups, I had a bad start and did not get the desired result in the individual events initially.
