Arjuna Awardee rifle shooter Anjum Moudgil has expressed her delight at the introduction of the Shooting League of India (SLI) and said it will help unearth more talents and will be very helpful for the athletes to prepare for global events.
The inaugural edition of the Shooting League of India (SLI) was announced by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) last month, and the tournament will have the window between November 20 and December 2. The competition will witness some of the prominent national and international names in action.
"It's a first-of-a-kind league happening, and I am really excited. I have been playing the sport for the last 17 years, and I have seen it grow tremendously. Having a league for shooting will really boost the image of our sport, and people will get to understand the minute details of it," Anjum said.
The 31-year-old athlete is of the opinion that a tournament like this will be very helpful for the athletes to prepare for global events. "Having a league would really help the athletes to prepare for global tournaments because there is a certain pattern that has been followed for so many years by us, the senior athletes," she said.
