HIS WORDS AFTER THE VICTORY

Vardhan says that it is nice and helpful to have the online shooting tournaments during the period of a global pandemic. Not only have the events lead him to some exposure, but he has also gained experience, slowly and steadily becoming a better shooter. He is understandably happy at his dominating victory and eyes to continue performing with some brilliance.

“It’s really nice and helpful to have these online competitions during these times as it not only helped me gain exposure but also helped me in growing into a better shooter. I am very delighted to see today’s results and will be looking forward to continuing it,” Vardhan said.

THIS WAS THE LAST, AND BIGGEST IOSC EVENT OF 2020

The organizer, Simon Sharif, said that not only was this the last of the IOSC events in 2020 but it was also the biggest of them, having shooters from twenty nations as participants.

“This was the year’s last and the biggest ever among the six editions of IOSC organised by us so far. We had shooters from twenty countries this time,” Sharif said.

Sharif maintains his happiness at the increasing popularity of online shooting amongst practitioners of the sports, as he believes that online shooting is the future of the sport.
