#4 Shooting
Once again the shooters impressed us at the Jakarta and Palembang Asian Games 2018, winning a host of medals in the fray.
The campaign started on a mixed note when Indian Air Force JCO Ravi Kumar and Apurvi Chandela won a simple bronze medal in the mixed rifle event, and junior shooting star Manu Bhaker crashed out of the Mixed 10 m. air pistol event.
However, once Saurabh Chaudhary won a surprise gold in the Men's 10 m. Air Pistol, pummeling both the Olympic champion and the world champion in the fray, the shooters accelerated their stint well, winning a medal every following day.
Another surprise came up, when despite Manu Bhaker qualifying for the finals of Women's 25 m. pistol with a Games Record score, it was her senior compatriot Rahi Sarnobat, who won a gold medal after an intense shoot off with N. Yangparibon of Thailand. Same came up with Heena Sidhu, who though had to settle for a bronze medal in women's 10 m. air pistol, her first as an individual.
Despite a few setbacks, India managed to finish their shooting campaign on a respectable high, with 2 gold, 4 silver and 3 bronze medals, their 2nd best tally since Doha 2006.
