Neeru Dhanda Wins Historic Women's Trap Gold at 2026 Asian Games
Neeru Dhanda made history by winning India's first individual women's trap gold at the 2026 Asian Games, setting a new Asian Games record with 28 out of 30 hits. Overcoming illness that hospitalized her just 10 days prior and challenging weather conditions, she demonstrated resilience and mental strength. Supported by family, coaches Peter Wilson and Mansher Singh, and inspired by cousin Lakshay Sheoran, Neeru's victory ended a 48-year wait for an Indian gold in trap shooting. She also contributed to India's silver in the team event, dedicating her success to her family, coach, and the Indian Army.
