The victory also makes Esha the first athlete to secure an individual medal for India in the 2026 ISSF season. Her confidence, concentration, and skill, demonstrated while overcoming the pressure of a world-class competition, are earning praise from the global shooting community.
Esha serves as an inspiration for young shooters
This world record set by Esha Singh serves as an inspiration not only to the Indian shooting fraternity but also to young athletes across the country. This achievement, which has raised the Indian tricolor to greater heights on the international stage, will remain a landmark moment in the history of Indian sports.
At just 21 years of age, Esha Singh has emerged as one of the most talented young athletes in Indian shooting. Having already represented India at the Paris 2024 Olympics and demonstrated her talent by winning medals at the Asian Games, she has now elevated Indian shooting to new heights by setting a world record.
