NEW DELHI: last month, Esha Singh Winning his first World Cup gold medal at the 10 -meter water gun, set aside its competitors with just 0.1 points, the smallest winner margin in his sport. However, shooting is not his first love. Young and curious, he tried his hand in go-karting, tennis, and even skating, pulled into the fun of competition more than the sport itself. That feeling changed when he took a gun. “I find it very unique, very different from all other games. People don’t know many rare and special things to me. Catching looks simple from the outside, but when I try it, I realize that it’s 90% mental,” Esha told Timesofindia.com During a free wheel chat.
In shooting, physical work takes the back seat, and it is a true mental toll -actually demanding.Looking back for a moment from the past when he started out, the 20 -year -old said, “Honestly I don’t think I’ll be here for a long time. I took it as a hobby. So, I started chasing her. “But early motivation to win involves a betting that plays between father and daughter. “My dad kept a gift for me. That also encouraged me,” he remembered. “I work hard. I gradually start enjoying my game. I no longer care about the gift. That’s not my purpose in playing. “

Years later, on September 13, 2025, at the ISSF World Cup, he defeated Qianxun Yao of China in a women’s 10m air pistol with only 0.1 points: “Winning gold with 0.1 proves that the medal is really mine.“In shooting, the battle is within you, not with your opponent. This is my gun, my hand – that’s all to me, I have no competition with anyone. In sports, ego battle doesn’t make you win – your game doesn’t. “His excellence in the sport also stands out in the way he trains. He shared that he often liked to practice in the rain, and it, because he sounded, very difficult.“Shooting in the rain is very difficult – the light is low, the vision is poor, but I like the challenge, somehow, I trained better in the rain,” he said.
