00:45 the event.
00:46 She broke the world record, Asian record, Asian Games record in women's 50-metre rifle
00:51 three positions individual event.
00:54 It really feels so good and exciting and fun.
00:56 You know, I've been talking about like after winning this medal, we didn't have time to
01:01 celebrate but now it's a huge moment for you to celebrate because you have two medals to
01:05 celebrate.
01:06 Yes, and we will celebrate.
01:07 Whole India will celebrate.
01:08 It's a proud moment for all of us.
01:11 So yeah.
01:12 When you step on the podium and play the national anthem of India, that feeling, how do you
01:16 know it's right?
01:17 It's amazing.
01:18 That feeling is amazing.
01:19 When you step on the podium and play the national anthem of India, that feeling, how do you
01:26 know it's right?
01:27 It's amazing.

01:30 shooting team of Manu Bhakar, Ridhim Sangwan and Isha Singh.

01:41 Ashley Choksi bagged bronze in the 50-metre rifle three positions women's individual event.
01:47 So actually kneeling is my favourite position but it didn't went so good as I expected.
01:54 So after that, like many were asking me that I got stressed or what I was thinking but
01:59 I didn't get stressed, but actually it gave me the strength to do well in the prone.
02:05 So I was like, I just fixed the target that I want to shoot a 53 series and yeah, I shot
02:13 53 like three times and nobody in the final shot even once.
02:18 So yeah, I'm really happy for it that I did really good in prone and came up.
02:23 I think last shot of first shot, it's very stressful.
02:27 And it's just like we are having so much of pressure that time.
02:31 And like the first time I took my rifle for the last shot, I was just not getting it.
02:37 So I put it back.
02:39 And I just saw the timer so like only 30 seconds were left and at least we need 50 seconds
02:44 for a shot.
02:46 So I just missed the timing and if I could have get five seconds more, I think that shot
02:52 would have been better.
02:54 But yeah, it went like that.
