Manavaditya Rathore

Manavaditya Rathore, son of Olympic silver medallist Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore won gold in the Asian Shotgun Championships in UAE. The youngster showed tremendous maturity in the final to finish on top of the podium. It is not the first time that the junior Rathore has tasted success. He clinched the junior trap shooting title at the National Championships in 2013. The young lad was also picked for the junior national trap team earlier in 2013 when his father was still part of the senior double trap team at the World Cup.

He had won the silver medal at the junior international shotgun competition in Finland and went on to clinch a bronze at the Asian shotgun championship in Kazakhstan in 2013. The 15-year old is on the right path and is a bright medal prospect in major events in the coming years.
