Anjali Bhagwat urges Indian shooters to go for quality at CWG
Anjali Bhagwat has asked shooters of the Indian contingent to maintain quality at Commonwealth Games issuing a warning that other nations have improved hugely over the years. The 2002 CWG medallist also cited examples of previous CWG hero Pooja Ghatkar and Anjum Moudgil to look upto.
While India
“Given the way shooters from other countries have improved, I would suggest our shooters aim for quality at the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast. Medals will always come if we maintain quality, and though we have in the past dominated in the CWG, the situation has changed. Shooters from countries such as Singapore, Australia and England have done very well because the standard has improved a lot. Our shooters have to perform very well, especially in air gun events, which have been our strong disciplines,” she wrote.
Pooja Ghatkar and Anjum Moudgil had won gold and silver medals respectively in the air rifle event during the previous CWG held in Belmont, and Bhagwat used them as examples for the current shooters to raise their standards. The veteran shooter also stated that the players are now given state-of-the-art facilities especially with Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore as the sports minister and one would nothing but the best from them.
“I have high hopes
The Shooting
“I would like to appreciate the efforts of everyone for working towards keeping shooting in the 2022 Commonwealth Games. It is very sad that Birmingham CWG organisers have omitted shooting from the schedule, but I am hoping that our sport will be back in the CWG,” she added.
