Indian Archery Deepika Claims Gold

Sunday, October 10, 2010

India’s archer Deepika Kumari on Sunday made a giant leap to stardom, claiming the gold medal in the women’s recurve individual event at the Commonwealth Games.



On a day when India’s most experienced, Dola Banerjee had to settle for bronze, the 16-year-old Ranchi girl maintained her cool composure and defied the windy conditions at the Yamuna Sports Complex to thrash Olympic bronze medalist Alison Wiliamson in straight sets (6-0) for the yellow metal.


Double Olympian and winner of 2007 World Cup finals Dola went down to Athens bronze medallist Williamson 2-6, while Deepika beat Anbarasi Subramaniam of Malaysia 7-1 in the semi-finals.

In the bronze medal play-off, Dola got the better of Subramanian of Malaysia 6-2.
“The wind was blowing from right to left very strongly, something that did Dola in. I asked Deepika to maintain her cool and not to get disturbed by the wind factor. She did just that. I am so happy for her,” women’s team coach Poornima Mahato told PTI.

Daughter of an auto rickshaw driver, Deepika is the reigning cadet world champion and she recently won a silver medal at the World Cup stage 4 held in Shanghai last month, a performance that enabled her qualify for the coveted World Cup finals in Edinburgh.
In today’s final, an unruffled Deepika shot 10-9-8 to win the first set 2-0 by a slender one point margin that put pressure on Williamson.

With the crowd cheering ‘Come On Deepika... Jai Ho...”, for the Indian, the pressure was evident on the veteran 29-year-old Englishwoman as she managed 8-9-8 compared to Deepika’s 9-10-9 to lose the second set by three points.

Leading 4-0, Deepika was at her best in the third set as she shot three perfect 10s to clinch the issue. Williamson could only manage 9—8—7 to go down 0—6.

Crediting her parents, coaches (Poornima and Dharmendra Tiwari) at the Tata Archery Academy for her triumph, Deepika said, “I am over the moon. I am thankful to my parents, coaches who have supported through out.”

“I just focused on not to lose hope and concentrate on my shooting. I was hopeful to win this medal. I just wanted to be more confident,” he said

New world Champ in the Making is Gagan Narang

Saturday, October 9, 2010

Gagan Narang had taken to shooting as a pastime, not in pursuit of excellence. Now, after winning four golds at the Commonwealth Games and with at least two more expected, he is well on his way to be the world's best.





With four gold medals, all with Games records, and two events to go, the genial 27-year-old Hyderabadi, who is an MBA graduate, is the new shooting sensation.

The handsome Air-India executive's successful journey to a world of fame can largely be attributed to his strong mental make-up which helps him keep his cool and high levels of concentration whenever the going gets tough, say those who know him well.


The eligible bachelor from Begumpet in Hyderabad is not a revelation here at the Games - although he hit the headlines here - he had been around for quite some years.

He has been there and there about at the top, his guns blazing and he was as well known in shooting circles as Abhinav Bindra, the country's lone individual Olympic gold medallist. A gold at the World Cup finals (2008), two World Cup golds (2009, 2006), three World Cup bronze (2008, 09, 10), and bronze in the World Championship (2010), are a testimony to his immense talent and determination to excel.

Narang had heartbreak when he was not chosen for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna for the third successive year and the distraught shooter nearly pulled out of the Commonwealth Games in disgust. But the fighter in Narang persuaded him to let his guns talk and how well they roared at the ranges.

"I don't talk about my inner feelings and my satisfaction. I have, and will always let my gun do the talking," he said.And in the Games, Narang is a strong contender for finishing as the best athlete and win the coveted David Dixon award.

Narang, who is currently ranked World No. 3, is expected to win gold in both the remaining categories. And once he wins the award, it would be the second straight time that an Indian shooter will bag it.

In Melbourne four years ago, pistol shooter Samresh Jung won the award, introduced in 2002, by winning five gold to earn the nick name Goldfinger.

Right from the day one of the shooting competition at the Karni Singh Shooting Range, Narang looked determined to come out of the shadow of Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra.Though he is yet to win a World Championship gold or an Olympic medal, Bindra firmly feels that Narang has it in him to get them all.

"He is outstanding, one of the best in the world. I am sure he will win many more international tournaments, the World Championship and an Olympic gold medal," said Bindra.

Gagan, a double world record holder, remains modest and says that he still has a lot to learn from Bindra.
