In a dramatic shootout at the Asian Games, Esha Singh wins silver in 25m pistol with a great comeback by Mihir Vasavda.


"During a tense shootout at the Asian Games, Esha Singh was competing in the 25m pistol event. She was shooting accurately, putting pressure on her Chinese opponent. Meanwhile, Esha's father, Sachin, was in the stands, cheering her on and drowning out the noise from the Chinese supporters. In the end, despite all the drama and pressure, it was a heartwarming moment for the father-daughter duo."

He didn't care that Esha couldn't hear anything. She had earplugs in and was fully concentrated, even when there were interruptions during the 25m Pistol final due to flying shells and a missed shot.

After a very long and eventful match with surprises at every shot, Esha won a silver medal. She came in second place, with China's Liu Rui winning the gold medal and setting a new Games record.

In the competition, Manu Bhaker, another Indian shooter, did exceptionally well in the qualification round, scoring 590 out of 600 possible points, which put her in first place among 43 shooters.

During the final event, there were moments when it seemed like Manu might win a medal instead of Esha. However, with guidance from Olympic medalist Gagan Narang, the 18-year-old athlete made a stunning comeback. She performed better than her fellow Indian competitor Esha and also outperformed challengers from South Korea and China. In the end, Manu Bhaker finished in fifth place.
