Anjum Moudgil backs young shooters
The Hindu
‘Accept your performance and let us get started to best ourselves soon’
In the run up to the Games, Anjum Moudgil had won the women’s air rifle silver at the World Championship in Changwon. It also won her the Olympic quota. Yet, an Olympic entry in women’s air rifle slipped her grasp, partly because the statistics were not in her favour. The 27-year-old took it in her stride and tried her best in the rifle 3-position event — in which she missed the final by four points — and the mixed air rifle, in the Tokyo Olympics. With a disappointing performance in terms of winning medals for the second successive Games, Anjum, who holds a Masters degree in psychology, understands the repercussions, and thus jumped up to lift the dropping spirits. In an attempt to boost the confidence of the young shooters, Anjum had a message to them keep getting better and keep smiling.More Related News
