(Motorsports news) The Indian shooters put up a convincing display at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, scoring their best-ever result in the continental event. The team has won 18 medals in several events over the course of six days, breaking the previous record of 14 in the 2006 Doha Asian Games.

Esha Singh has participated in four events (two team and two individual) in the ongoing showdown in China, the most of any Indian shooter in this edition. Esha, who is only 18, has been a shooting prodigy since breaking onto the scene. When Esha was 13, she defeated Commonwealth Games medalists Manu Bhaker and Heena Sidhu in the 10m air pistol national championships to become the youngest shooter to earn a gold medal in the senior category.

Esha also won silver at the 2019 ISSF Junior World Cup in Germany, finishing second in the 10m air pistol ladies. She also took bronze in the mixed team 10m air pistol event. Esha won gold in the 10m air pistol mixed team alongside Shiva Narwal at the 2023 World Championships in Baku.

However, her performance at the Asian Games 2023 will be near the top, and this article looks at the four medals Esha won at the Asian Games 2023.
