Rifle Shooter Overcomes a large setback, Covid-19 on the way to Tokyo OlympicsPune: Among other things, shooting teaches introspection.
Just ask Apurvi Chandela.
Air Rifle Shooter prepares for the second Olympics, and besides working hard in the range, APURVI has done the best not to think of Rio 2016.
While he was in a good Nick before the 2016 Olympics, APURVI finished the 34th of the 10m Air Rifle Rifle event.
Many have changed since Rio, and Apurvi, 28, wiser than him five years ago.
“After every match is bad, it feels like the end of the world, and it’s the same after the Rio Olympics,” he told Toi.
Not the apurvi technique that failed.
The bad Cryotherapy session gave him burns on the foot of the Olympics.
The pain did not let him stand for hours.
“It’s disappointing when you do so much effort and things don’t go according to plan.” But some incidents that occur before Rio is not right for me.
It’s just because of my family that I can get from it.
They never pressed me and helped me be the world No.
1 After that, “APURVI said.
The shooter insists he is now for Rio’s heartburn.” I have moved because it’s just a match.
I took a positive from the good match I have.
The thought clearly went towards bad memories first, but my job was to divert myself positively.
“There are many learning that I get from Rio, there are many things that I don’t repeat on my way to Tokyo.
Of course there will be a new experience on this trip, but my focus is on my technique and basics..” Jaipur girl is One of the first shooters to reach the quota for Tokyo, but only a few days before departure for Croatia for the training camp, APURVI and his personal coach, the former Rakesh shooter, contracted Covid.
“The team departed on May 11 with rented flight.
We got a virus and got our negative report only on May 9.
Touch and go for us,” said Manpat.
Things are not easy even after reaching Zagreb.
APURVI was busy against the side effects of the virus but somehow made his enthusiasm high.
“We spent seven days of quarantine recovering.
But even after that, there was a disorientation and fatigue.
There was a moment when he went to the range seven times, because he would forget something or the other when packing his rifle kit.
Fatigue is a big factor but as it passes, He overcomes everything, “said Manpat.
APURVI shoots at the Osijek World Cup.
The score is 624.2 placing it in 11th place, but Rakesh said they did not see the score.
“The ease of shooting and the execution shown as long as the World Cup is very phenomenal.
He has satisfying training in Zagreb and shooting the score around 630 during the training session.
But the most important thing is his progress.” He is happy.
The country is in front of the Olympics, and it’s very important, “added the coach.
