Asian Games 2026: Isha Singh’s Consistent Performance Adds Another Medal
At the 2026 Asian Games in a packed shooting range, Isha Singh showcased why she is regarded among the world’s elite pistol shooters. The Indian athlete entered the women’s 25‑metre pistol event with modest expectations after barely qualifying for the final, but she quickly turned the tables with a string of perfect shots.\n\nHer consistency paid off during the elimination rounds, where she navigated several high‑stakes shoot‑offs against seasoned opponents from China, North Korea and Vietnam. Despite a brief slip after three hits, Isha’s comeback with five consecutive perfect scores kept her medal hopes alive. In the final phase, a head‑to‑head clash with Jiao Jiaruixuan saw the two shooters exchange four‑hit bursts, forcing yet another tie‑breaker that ultimately awarded gold to China. Isha’s 38‑hit performance matched the record set in Hangzhou 2023, earning her a silver medal and reinforcing India’s growing stature in international shooting.
