Rashmika's journey from badminton to shooting
Rashmika didn't stop at gold—she also picked up silver in the individual air pistol event.
Inspired by Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker ("I see her as a role model," she shared), Rashmika's journey began only in 2022, coached by her Army officer dad after switching from badminton.
Her breakthrough came recently with a gold at the Asian Championships in Kazakhstan.
