From Track Injury to Asian Games: Kamaljeet's Inspiring Shooting Journey

From Track Injury to Asian Games: Kamaljeet's Inspiring Shooting Journey

A young man from India named Kamaljeet loved sports, but he got hurt while running on a track.

That injury ended his dream of being a runner.

So he decided to try something new: pistol shooting.

He practiced very hard and got really good at it.

His family helped him pay for training even when money was tight.

A coach from his village taught him everything he knows.

Kamaljeet won a gold medal at a big junior world championship in 2023.

Now he is going to Japan to compete in the Asian Games, a huge sports event.

He will shoot in the Men's 10M Air Pistol event.

He hopes to shoot just as well in the big competition as he does in practice.
