"This is a moment of pride for me" - Ashi Chouksey

Back in the Tokyo Olympics, Ashi also plied her trade but failed to win a medal there. In December 2024, Chouksey defeated Olympian Anjum Moudgil by 3.1 points at the 67th edition of the National Shooting Championship that took place at the Madhya Pradesh Academy.

After taking an early lead, she held on to it until the very end of the 45-shot final of the women’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions event.

“I think I worked very hard for this, and I believe the credit goes to everyone who has supported me, including my coach, sponsors, family, and friends. This is a moment of pride for me, especially because there was no one from my sport before, and here I am, achieving this milestone,” Ashi said via Techno Sports.
