The Hindu
Say she is capable of winning gold in bigger events
Guided by her mentor and idol Rajat Chauhan, 17-year-old compound archer Priya Gurjar has tasted success in quick time and is eager to take her game to the next level.
Year 2021 has been memorable for Priya, who secured gold medals in cadet women’s and mixed team events and an individual silver in the World youth championships in Wroclaw, Poland, in August and a women’s team silver in the World championships in Yankton, USA, in September.
“The World youth medals gave me a lot of confidence. I learned a few things in the World championships. It was windy and I did not understand when to release the arrows in such conditions. Still I got good scores. I have to work on this,” Priya told The Hindu on the sidelines of the National archery championships here on Wednesday.
