New Delhi, Asian Games silver shooter medallist Esha Singh doesn’t rue missing the Asian Games gold medal by a whisker, but admitted that the women’s 25m pistol final was nerve-racking with five shoot-offs, which she never expected.
Esha said the Asian Games was different as she never expected five shoot offs. “But I really had to strive for the medal, and I think it was supposed to be a very memorable silver,” she said. She said she is now experienced enough to understand how her body would behave in a tight situation.
“Yeah, I think it has sunk in, especially with the five shoot-offs, which I was not expecting at all. “But I think that’s something I really had to overcome. I can’t really stop the pressure. I have to live through it. That is how you play this game, and that’s what thrills me about this sport.
It was definitely nerve-racking, and my heartbeat was through the roof,” Esha told PTI at the IGI airport here on her return from Nagoya on Tuesday night.
I’ll try my best to perform and give it everything,” she signed off.
Talking about her upcoming plans, Esha said: “We have the World Championship and the Olympic quota, so I’m looking ahead to that. “It’s not something I’ve done alone. I have an entire team. Of course, it’s an individual sport and I’m alone on the lane, but the work that’s been put into it is not alone. Every match is crucial, but definitely I will give my best.
