25m rapid fire Junior World silver
Tushar Dutt, Oct 8, 2021: The Times of India
When Adarsh Singh shot in the men’s 25m rapid fire final at the ISSF Junior World Championship in Lima, Peru, on Wednesday, it wasn’t the first time he was shooting in an international final. However, it was a new start of sorts for the shooter, who has represented India even at the senior level, as he became the proud winner of silver medal.
Adarsh shot 28 and lost the gold to USA’s Henry Leverett, who was fresh from his participation at the Tokyo Games. Leverett shot 32 to top the podium. Laurent Cussigh of France took bronze after shooting 24 targets.
Haryana shooter Adarsh, all of 19, was a regular face in the Indian team for almost two years from 2018. He shot in all four World Cups in 2019, but a sudden dip in form saw his exit from both the junior and senior Indian squads.
“When I look at things in retrospect, I realise that when you are in the team, you sort of lose track of many important things like mental health and realistic targets. The whole of 2019, I tried to chase the Tokyo Olympics quota. I shot in every match, including seven international tournaments, and overtrained. I didn’t realise that while shooting non-stop, I didn’t spare time to check the faults in my technique and also my mental health. The whole thing left me disturbed,” Adarsh told TOI from Lima.
