Rifle shooter Shriyanka Sadangi believes the Shooting League of India (SLI), which was recently introduced by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), will be crucial in helping the athletes get notoriety and recognition.
Expressing her excitement about the inaugural edition of SLI, Shriyanka Sadangi said, “I am very excited. We have been wanting for a long time to have a shooting league and let’s see how it unfolds. It’s a great opportunity for everyone. SLI will motivate a lot of young athletes to pursue the sport.”
“It is a very good opportunity for the sport and for us. We have a lot of good, top international athletes who are going to be a part of this league. The standard of the Indian shooting team has gone up really high. I want them to get recognition at the world level. The sport should get a lot of popularity and I want people to know how much precision, finesse, and hard work goes behind it.”
“SLI will help people to get the understanding of the sport like how do athletes prepare, what are the formats, how do they train. Overall, they can get a more in-depth idea about the athletes. The league can play an important role in providing visibility,” she attached.
Reflecting on how to make shooting more exciting for audiences, the 30-year-old stated, “We can incorporate a lot of day-to-day things which can be shown to people because everyone connects with that, like what do athletes do in their off time or show a glimpse of their life. While connecting with the journey of the athlete, people can get an aspiration and can get inspired while watching it. So, I think if it is made in a good, fun format, then people will find it very exciting and connecting.”
Shriyanka Sadangi shared her thoughts on the wider impact of sports. “If we can make sports a part of our culture, then society will benefit a lot from it. The energy of youth will go in a positive way. I feel sports enhance your character and personality a lot. So, I think it is a very good building tool for society in general,” she concluded.
