Ganemat Sekhon tuning her shooting to peak on the big stage

Ganemat Sekhon tuning her shooting to peak on the big stage

The Hindu
Wednesday, July 19, 2023 2:54 PM GMT

Ganemat Sekhon has had a reliable season, winning silver at the Almaty World Cup and mixed skeet gold with Mairaj Ahmad Khan in Cairo. She has twice equaled the national record of 120/125 and narrowly missed the final in Lonato and Doha. She won bronze at the Delhi World Cup and junior silver at the Lima World Championship. Ganemat is confident of her technique and is grateful for the support of SAI and NRAI. She aims to peak at the World Championship and Asian Games.

It has been a remarkably reliable spell of performances by skeet shooter Ganemat Sekhon on the global stage so far this season. With the World Championship and the Asian Games coming up, the 22-year-old Ganemat — who won the silver in the Almaty World Cup — promises to give her best’.

Apart from the silver, Ganemat also won the mixed skeet gold with Olympian Mairaj Ahmad Khan in the Cairo World Cup. It was her second mixed gold, after the one in 2021.

“My goal this year has been to be consistent with my scores and to be able to peak at the right time. And I constantly work hard on my technique,” said Ganemat.

And consistent she was with the scores. Twice she equalled the national record of 120 out of 125 in the World Cups including the recent one at Lonato, Italy.

Interestingly, she missed the final by one point in Lonato as also earlier in Doha. She shot 120 and missed the chance to compete in the semifinals following a shoot-off with four others.

And when she shot 117 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Ganemat was brilliant in the new format of direct final after qualification.

Ganemat lost the gold in the shoot-off after being tied 50-50 with Assem Orynbay of Kazakhstan.
