India won its first medal at the Asian Games 2023 in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol

At the Asian Games 2023, Indian athletes are making history after taking home a medal in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men's Team competition. Adarsh Singh, Anish Bhanwala, and Vijayveer Sidhu earned the first-ever bronze medal in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men's Team competition, according to Union Minister for Sports Anurag Thakur. On X (formerly Twitter), the minister announced the information and wished the athletes luck.

With a new world record of 1765 hits overall, the Chinese competitors took home the gold medal, while the Korean athletes took home silver with 1734 hits. India and Indonesia both had total qualification scores of 1718, but because India had more inner-10s, its athletes came in third.

Adarsh Singh put on an exceptional performance to advance India's score, and the young Vijayveer Sidhu also played really well to help India win that medal despite some errors by Anish Bhanwala. The performance of the trio demonstrated India's promising future in the sport.

India's first-ever medal in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men's Team event demonstrates the progress we have achieved in the sporting globe and the effectiveness of the government's efforts to build cutting-edge, top-notch facilities for sports that guarantee our players' adequate preparation.
