Parents play pivotal roles at shooting World Cup in Delhi

NEW DELHI: Anuradha had just come out of the 10m Qualification Range. Accompanying her, as she made her way to her car in the parking lot, was her husband, mother and father. The 28-year-old Sonepat girl couldn’t qualify for the women’s 10m Air Pistol final at the ISSF World Cup here. But watching their child for the first time in India colours was a dream come true for the family. The group wasn’t disappointed at all that Anuradha had not made the cut for the final.

Inside the range, Mrs. Ambujam was sitting in the stands, surrounded by a couple of bags and a shooting case. Behind her, with arms resting on the hand rails, was her daughter Nivetha Paramanantham. An MQS (Minimum Qualification Score) shooter in the women’s 10m Air Pistol event, Nivetha introduced this reporter to her mother, before climbing back up the stairs to resume her conversation with an acquaintance.

Young shooters accompanied by parents is a common sight at the ongoing World Cup at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range in the capital, and they play a huge rule in lending moral support to their kids.

“I am meeting her (Nivetha) after two months as she was travelling for competitions,” Nivetha’s mom said.

“I used to travel with her when she was a junior. Now she takes care of herself. She is in the senior national team now,” she said with a sense of pride.

Back in the parking lot, Anuradha’s mother, Mrs. Savitri Devi just can’t stop hugging her daughter.

“Yes, it’s the first time I have seen her at a tournament playing for India. Bahut acchha laga (felt really nice),” said Devi, and hugged Anuradha, who made her international debut.

It’s been a phenomenal rise for Anuradha in shooting, as the lieutenant with the Indian Navy took a plunge in the sport just eight months back.

And it was just 20 days before the World Cup that she got married. Her husband was also part of the family group watching the mother and daughter give an interview.

“It was her destiny, so it happened. Ever since she was a ninth-standard student, she has been interested in sports,” said Devi and then asked innocently: “Kya khelti thi (what did you play)?”.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

“Daudti thi (I was runner)”, reminded Anuradha. “I was a track athlete as well as a handball player in school.”

Joining the Navy, says Anuradha, was her mom’s dream, as her father also used to serve the country as an Indian Air Force officer. He is retired now.

“I will tell you one incident,” she said.

“Once I saw my mom wearing my father’s Air Force uniform. I told her ‘Mom you are looking really smart.’ At that moment, she told me ‘it’s my dream that you also wear this uniform one day’. I promised her that I will and gift her my cap. On the day I passed my Navy training, I put the cap on my mom’s head,” the proud daughter narrated.

“Mera sapna poora kar diya meri beti ne (my daughter fulfilled my dream),” Devi said.

Teenager Divyansh Panwar also made his senior India debut at this World Cup, with his father, Ashok Panwar, by his side.

Divyansh came close to qualifying for the men’s 10m Air Rifle Final on Monday, but missed out marginally with a final score of 627.2, which was the best among three Indian shooters part of the qualifiers.

“He has done well for the amount of time he dedicates to shooting. Now it’s time to focus on examinations, he has his 11th-standard final exams coming up,” Ashok said while his son removed his rifle-shooting gear.

Ashok also pointed out how young athletes can get distracted these days and need parental guidance and monitoring.

“When I am with him during competition, I make sure he sleeps on time and follows his routine. He is just a kid and can get distracted by mobiles phones, social media, gaming, etc.,” he said.

Manu Bhaker — a Commonwealth Games, World Cup and Youth Olympics gold medallist — is 16 as well but has already set the bar high in pistol shooting.

Though she didn’t have a World Cup to remember, failing to qualify in the 10m Air Pistol final and finishing fifth in the Women’s 25m Pistol final, the Jhajhar girl was happy playing her first World Cup at home and getting ‘home-cooked food’ every day.

Manu’s mother, Sumedha Bhaker, is seen with her at most of the training sessions and competitions. A school teacher by profession, she was a regular visitor at this World Cup as well.

Talking to Timesofindia.com before the start of the tournament, Manu had said, “It’s my first World Cup at home. The best thing is that I am getting home-cooked food as mom brings food from home every day.”

On Wednesday, the last day of the competition, Manu would surely want to bring a smile to her mom’s face by doing well in the Mixed Team event, to overcome some of the disappointment of missing individual finals.

Heena Sidhu adds third gold to India's shooting kitty in CWG

Brisbane: Heena Sidhu picked up India’s third gold medal in shooting at the ongoing Commonwealth Games, finishing on top in the women’s 25m pistol event and also breaking a Games record in the process, here on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Sidhu shot a final score of 38, two of the series being perfect fives, to claim the top honours ahead of Australian Elena Galiabovitch (35). The bronze medal went to Malaysia’s Alia Azahari (26). This was Sidhu’s second medal at the ongoing Games after having claimed a silver in the 10m air pistol event behind 16-year-old compatriot Manu Bhaker. Incidentally, this is her first major medal in the 25m pistol event with most of her other podium finishes being in 10m air pistol. “I am exhausted, those are my thoughts on today’s performance,” Sidhu quipped after winning the gold. Annuraj Singh finished sixth after being eliminated in the second stage of the same event. Her final score was a disappointing 15. Sidhu, however, was in terrific form after qualifying third with a score of 579 despite admitting to struggling with her trigger finger owing to a nerve problem. “Thankfully, my trigger which has been giving me some trouble because of a tingling sensation was alright today. I didn’t feel that tingling too much,” Sidhu said. “The 10m air pistol final is a blur to me, I couldn’t feel my fingers during that. I have been undergoing physiotherapy for this problem but for today, I told my physio not to touch me. I just let it be and to my relief it went off well,” she said. Her coach, husband and the Indian shooting team’s manager Raunak Pandit was by her side as she spoke and when asked what went into maintaining consistency at the highest level, Sidhu turned to her better half for answers. “I guess it’s about ensuring that whether you compete at the Olympics or the state championships, the intensity and process remains the same. If an athlete can achieve that, the results will automatically come,” said Pandit. Earlier, defending silver-medallist Gagan Narang signed off a disappointing seventh while debutant Chain Singh finished fourth in the 50m rifle prone event. Narang, who qualified third for the final with a score of 619.4, went out after the first stage of elimination. He was tied for the second spot at the end of the first series. However, a gentle breeze perhaps affected the shots he fired after that and things went haywire for him. He ended with a final score of 142.3. Competing in just one event at the ongoing Games, the 34-year-old Narang would be returning without a CWG medal for the first time in his career. He has to his credit, a stellar eight gold medals, a silver and a bronze in the quadrennial Games. On the other hand, Chain Singh shot well for most part but lost his footing in the second elimination stage to end fourth with a score of 204.8. Singh had qualified sixth for the event with a score of 614.2. Apart from Sidhu and Bhaker, Jitu Rai has won a shooting sold so far, finishing top in 10m air pistol men’s event yesterday with a Games record.
