Olympian Esha Singh continued her strong performance from last year by winning the gold medal in the women’s individual 10m air pistol event. Her consistent accuracy and calm under pressure helped her secure the top spot. Singh also played a key role in helping the Indian team achieve another top finish on the opening day of the Asian Championship (pistol/rifle), held on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

World champion Samrat Rana, who is known for his precise shooting skills, won the bronze medal in the same event, showing that India has multiple strong performers in international competitions.

The championship is a significant event as it brings together the best shooters from across Asia, testing their skills in precision and focus. Experts say that performances like Esha Singh’s reflect the growing strength of Indian shooting sports on the global stage.
