2021 Clay target shooting World Cup (New Delhi): Ganemat Sek

March 21, 2021 is a date that will be remembered by Ganemat Sekhon and all Indians for a long time: the first World Cup medal in Women's Skeet for this Asian land! On the platforms of New Delhi the young athlete, who relies on Gemini chokes, won the bronze and carved her name into the annals of history.  

After qualifying with a 117 out of 125, for that matter her career-best score, the 20-year-old girl took the field ready to face her competitors one shot after another in a final which proved to be of the highest level. Despite the initial pressure and tension, Sekhon gave her best, placing third with a score of 40 out of 50!
The British Amber Hill got to the top step of the podium, defeating the Kazakh Zoya Kravchenko in the shoot off. The result of the other Indian athlete Karttiki Singh Shaktawat, placing fourth with a score of 32 out of 40 is also worth mentioning.

“I’m thrilled as I’ve realized this is a historic medal for my country on the side” - said the athlete availing herself of the Gemini chokes after the challenge. - “I have been training a lot for this competition and my aim was to reach the final for the first time against the top athletes … it is truly a huge satisfaction to climb the podium on the first attempt.” 

The athlete is no stranger to cutting a dash when it comes to world competitions: what is more she was the first Indian skeet shooter to win a 2018 ISSF Junior World Cup medal, attaining a further remarkable bronze.
Notwithstanding the class change and the stress due to the competition against the greatest athletes of this sport, Sekhon achieved India reaching the podium once again!

Thanks to our chokes the Gemini team boasts a central role alike on such a day that will remain etched for a long time in Indian sport. Congratulations to our young shooter on her success, we are proud to be by your side at all times and to have welcomed you into our big family!
