==Sets Junior World and senior national records==

Sometimes, it takes only a match for a shooter to exorcise the demons in the mind. The thoughts in Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar’s head were not easy to get rid of, though. However, Tomar, 20, not just left the disappointment of the past behind, but also paved his way to the future by becoming junior World Champion.
Tomar won gold in the men’s 50m rifle 3Position event and in the process, created a world record while equaling another at the ISSF Junior World Championships in Lima, Peru.

In the qualifying round, the Madhya Pradesh shooter scored 1,185 to equal the qualifying junior world record and better than the seniors national record of 1,180 registered by Sanjeev Rajput in 2019.

In the final, Tomar went one step ahead and scored 463.4 to break the Finals junior world record of 462.9 set by Czech Republic shooter Filip Nepejchal in 2019. Easy to assume, Tomar’s finals score is also better than Rajput’s national record of 462.

The medal has come at the right time for this young shooter, who went to Tokyo Olympics as World No. 2, but came back with a heart break.

His score of 1,167 was good only to fetch him the 21st position at Tokyo. The score and disappointment of not making it to the medal round of his maiden Olympics was enough to make him doubt his own potential.

“He was sort of lost after the Olympics. He was confused and the performance in Tokyo had hit his confidence hard. Aishwary is a talented shooter, but the expectations ahead of the Olympics can put pressure on anyone,” national coach Suma Shirur told TOI from Lima on Tuesday.
“He was confused and thought that there was some problem with his technique.”

Shirur said Tomar never lacked talent but Olympics are a different ballgame.

“A shooter needs to complete a whole cycle of success, failure and match practice before going to the Olympics. Aishwary was fresh before Tokyo and lacked experience compared to his competitors. I made him sit and understand this fact before the World Championships and asked him to change nothing and shoot the way he has been shooting all this while,” Shirur added. “It has been a very satisfying journey for him as he stood fourth at the World Championships in 2018 as a 17-year-old and at 20, he is junior World Champion.”
