Samrat Rana wins bronze as India claim team silver
Indian shooter Samrat Rana won bronze in the men’s event at the Asian Shooting Championships on Tuesday, as India secured team silver in the same discipline. The competition took place this week with Olympic qualification stakes adding pressure to the field.
Rana stayed composed through the final rounds to finish on the podium, helping India edge rivals with a combined score strong enough for second place overall. “I focused on every shot and stayed patient,” Rana said after the event. “This medal means a lot for my confidence.”
A team official praised the collective effort, saying, “The shooters supported each other throughout. The silver reflects consistency, not just one performance.” A rival coach admitted India were “calm under pressure and deserved the result.”
The medals add to India’s growing tally at the championships and underline the team’s steady progress ahead of major international competitions later this year.
