India’s rising shooting star Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar has once again made the nation proud by clinching the silver medal at the Shooting World Championships, held in Doha. Competing in the highly competitive 50m Rifle 3 Positions (Men’s) event, Tomar delivered a remarkable performance that showcased both composure and precision at the highest level of international shooting.
The 24-year-old shooter from Madhya Pradesh narrowly missed the gold after an intense final round, finishing just behind the eventual champion from China. His impressive display earned India yet another podium finish on the global stage, reaffirming the country’s growing dominance in rifle shooting events.
“I’m happy with my performance and proud to represent India,” said Tomar after the medal ceremony. “Every competition is a chance to learn and improve, and this medal motivates me to aim higher for the future.”
Tomar’s journey to the silver was marked by consistency — he topped the qualification rounds with a near-flawless score before holding his nerve in the final. Known for his disciplined technique and calm under pressure, he has been one of India’s most reliable shooters in recent years, having previously won medals at the ISSF World Cup, Asian Games, and World Championships.
India’s shooting contingent has been in top form throughout the championship, with multiple shooters reaching finals across different events. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) praised Tomar’s performance, calling it “a reflection of India’s world-class training and the spirit of young athletes who continue to raise the bar.”
Sports analysts see this silver medal as a strong sign of India’s preparedness ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where Tomar is expected to be a key medal contender.
Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar first gained international attention in 2019 when he won bronze at the ISSF Junior World Cup. Since then, he has risen rapidly through the ranks, combining technical mastery with mental resilience. His achievements continue to inspire a new generation of Indian marksmen and markswomen.
With this latest victory, Tomar not only strengthens India’s medal tally but also cements his reputation as one of the most promising shooters in the world today.
