Exclusive | 'Three bronze medals from a large Olympic shooting contingent is not good enough': Ex-India shooter

Firstpost  

India won three bronze medals in shooting at Paris Olympics 2024 but it had also sent its largest-ever contingent of 21 shooters. In this exclusive interview with Firstpost, former India shooter Shimon Sharif talks about the various areas that need to prioritised in Indian shooting including mental health. While achievements like those of Rathore, Abhinav Bindra, Manu Bhaker and others go a long way in inspiring youngsters to take up the sport, the domestic system also needs to continue to work hard to ensure that no talent is wasted and that shooters remain focussed on the only thing that they need to focus on – shooting. You will see the Indian team being on top of the medals tally at the World Cups, but that does not mean that the Indian shooters are the world leaders in shooting sport. Jaspal is of course back now with the NRAI as a high-performance coach for the 25m pistol team, but overall, the last thing anyone would want is to lose a quality coach… Sharif: You know, the fight between the personal coaches and the national coaches and the grassroot-level coaches, when it comes to the Olympics – that needs to be handled and everybody needs to be considered as part of the team, with the larger interest of an Olympic medal.
