Indian shooters say earlier setbacks strengthened Asian Games effort

Indian shooters Surichi and Kamaljeet said earlier disappointments helped fuel their performance at the Asian Games, The Hindu reports. Surichi reflected on the individual events, saying it had perhaps not been their day then and that the later result represented India’s day. She described feeling upset and sad after the individual competition and said she kept thinking about what had happened.

The supplied material does not identify the specific event in which the shooters later competed, provide their scores or say whether they won a medal. It also gives no details about Kamaljeet’s individual result, the pair’s preparation or the competition schedule. The available account records the emotional impact of the earlier disappointment and the athletes’ interpretation of their subsequent performance.

Their comments suggest that the setback remained on their minds before the later Asian Games result. No reaction from coaches, opponents or sporting officials is included. The report therefore provides a limited account of the athletes’ reflections rather than a full competition report.
