For India, the 10m Air Pistol Women's Final was a double celebration as Palak won gold and Esha Singh took home silver to continue the country's successful shooting record at the Asian Games 2023.

With a winning score of 241.2 on Friday, the 18-year-old Palak managed to break the competition record on her way to the gold medal. Esha won her fourth medal, giving the team from India a total of 17 in shooting at the Hangzhou Olympics.

The Indian women's 10m air pistol squad, comprised of Palak and Divya Thadigol Subbaraju as well as Esha Singh, accomplished a great deal at the Asian Games in Hangzhou. By placing just five points behind China, the trio helped India win the silver medal.

Esha had already achieved success at the Games. She had already won a silver medal in the women's individual 25-meter pistol competition. She also competed in the women's 25m pistol team event, winning the gold medal with Manu Bhaker and Rhythm Sangwan.

Despite the intense strain of the final, Palak stunned the spectators by seizing the initiative and controlling the situation with remarkable composure. Esha was able to keep up with her but was unable to overtake her. As the competition heated up, Pakistan's Kishmala Talat presented a formidable challenge.

Talat finally settled for bronze, Pakistan's first shooting medal ever at an Asian Games. The Chinese athlete Qian Wiang kept the games record until 2018, when the Indian team continued competing and Palak smashed it to win the gold.
