Maheshware Chauhan (ISSF Photo) New Delhi: Each Indian suffered a heart break because only one point was separated by Maheshware Chauhan from what would be the historical Olympic bronze in the SKEET Mixed Team at the Paris Olympics last year. The main edge of the razor (43-44) against Chinese counterparts continues to scoring, long after the dust has settled. “In our sport, one point makes all the difference. It was a terrible feeling that I hope I will never have to experience again,” Maleshwari recalls.But if there is one feature that defines a 28 -year -old shooter from Rajasthan, it is its remarkable ability to turn pain into purpose.

The pressure of the comeback, associated with the high rod that it set for itself, weighed heavy.The uninhabited scar of the Olympic Games in Paris, which was this one -point loss in a bronze match with China, is something she has not forgotten. And he doesn’t intend to.“This loss gave me fire and confidence.
