Baki secures bronze in SAG shooting
KATHMANDU, Dec 5, 2019 (BSS)- Bangladeshi shooter Abdullah Hel Baki won
bronze medal in the men’s S10m air rifle event of the ongoing South Asian
Games Shooting on Thursday.
Baki shot 228 to finish third on the podium at the shooting range
Satdobato.
India’s Pankaj Kumar took home the gold medal with 249.2, much to the
pleasure of the Indian fans, while his countryman Kiran Jadav bagged the
silver with 248.7.
In his immediate reaction, disappointed Baki said, “Many suffers
nervousness and pressure in the final and it also happened to me, which I did
not overcome in the last moment.”
Bangladesh Olympic Association Secretary General Syed Shahed Reza, who was
present there, said Baki played good all through the match but missed the
medal due to one bad shot in the last moment. It’s natural as it can happen
in the competition.
However, the BOA Secretary General was very much optimistic about winning
more gold medals by Bangladeshi athletes in the remaining disciplines.
He said they have some bright prospects in cricket, archery, fencing and
golf game, from where he hopes, the athletes will be able to secure more gold
for the country.
