Asian Games gold medalist Rahi Sarnobat has stated that she wants to be psychologically and physically strong to achieve success in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Indian shooter credited her coach Munkhbayar Dorjsuren for the historic gold that she clinched in women's 25m pistol event at the Asiad.

Rahi Sarnobat, who bagged a gold medal in 25m women’s pistol on Wednesday, said that it was her technique that helped her win the final at the last moment. The Maharashtra-born shooter defeated Thailand’s Naphaswan Yangpaiboon in a shoot-off in the finals after the scores were level after 10 rounds.

The Indian shooters continue to show their skills on the third morning as well in the ongoing Asian Games as Saurabh Chaudhary bagged a gold medal in the 10m men’s air pistol event. Abhishek Verma from India finished on the third position in the same event and bagged a bronze medal.
