Esha nails women's air pistol gold to end India's medal drought at ISSF WC
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|September 14, 2025
Olympian and reigning mixed team pistol world champion Esha Singh ended India's medal drought at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol in Ningbo, China, in style, by bagging a gold in women's 10m air pistol on Saturday.
The rising Indian shooter left home favourite and in-form Yao Qianxun 0.1 behind in the final held at the Ningbo Olympic Sports Centre. Reigning Olympic champion in the event, Oh Yejin of Korea, had to settle for bronze.
Thrilled with winning a first-ever world cup gold in the event, Esha said after the final, "I am very happy as air is the first event that I started with and to win a world cup gold in it...I am just happy that some of my goals are being reached."
Also speaking on the challenges ahead, she said, "Yes obviously the world championship is the next big one for the year. We are training very hard for it and I am sure you will see very good things from the Indian team in Cairo."
