New Delhi, Jan 10 (PTI) A back injury proved to be a blessing in disguise for teenage shooter Nancy, who earned the biggest trophy of her nascent career by winning the women’s 10m air rifle gold at the Asia Olympic Qualifiers in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Nancy, barely 13 years and a few months old in 2018, suffered serious injuries to her back when she lost her stepping on an unpaved road, which left her bed-ridden for nearly a month.
The 19-year-old, however, was all grit and gumption on Wednesday while hitting the bullseye on every shot on way to clinching gold, beating compatriot Olympian Elavenil Valarivan and a host of international top-notch shooters.
“Nancy had just stepped out of the house to see off her class-mate when she lost her footing on a rocky road and took a nasty tumble. She was in and out of hospital for a month,” her father Azad Singh told
