In a groundbreaking moment for Indian shooting, 20-year-old Esha Singh has emerged as the first woman to claim an individual senior world championship medal at the ISSF World Championship in Cairo, Egypt. Esha's remarkable achievement comes on the heels of a stellar year, where she has already secured gold and silver medals at the World Cup stages. This bronze win in the 25m pistol event has left her on cloud nine, as she reflects on the immense pressure and expectations that came with competing against the world's top shooters. Esha, who has been preparing for this level of competition, found the clarity to shoot her highest qualification score of the season. 'Surpassing the pressure and delivering my best performance is a special win for me,' she exclaimed, beaming with pride. This historic win has not only brought prestige but also a sense of gratitude and humility for Esha. 'I'm grateful to be the first woman to achieve this milestone, but I'm keeping it grounded and focused on my daily routine,' she said. Esha's week in Cairo was filled with another notable achievement. Alongside Samrat Rana, she secured a silver medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, narrowly losing to China's Qianxun Yao and Kai Hu. The double-duty events have taken a toll on Esha, but she has learned to balance the demands of competing in both 10m and 25m events. 'It's not easy, but I've built up my endurance over the years, and I'm grateful for the experiences that have helped me perform at this level,' she concluded.
