Like all the other female athletes listed so far, Anjali Bhagwat is also a trendsetter. She is a professional shooter who has made India proud over the last two decades.

She became the world number one in 10m Air Rifle in 2002. Although an Olympic medal has eluded her, she has been performing consistently in other international forums.

Till date, she has won 31 gold, 23 silver and seven bronze medals in international events. In the 2003 Afro-Asian Games, she became the first Indian shooter to get a gold and a silver medal, in the Sports 3P and Air Rifle events, respectively.
