\u201cIt is not enough, I can\u2019t let it go from here, I can do it,\u201d young Ganemat Sekhon told herself once she made it to the top six in the skeet final at ISSF Junior World Cup in Sydney on Tuesday. The 16-year-old, though, missed a couple of targets thereafter to slip a few places, before she pulled herself to finish with a bronze. The Chandigarh girl scored a total of 36 points to finish behind hosts\u2019 Aislin Jones (51) and Yufei Che of China (47).\u00a0 \u201cFrom round one she was leading in the final, but then she missed two-three birds\u2026 plus it is her first World Cup final, so she got little (nervous). You need to have some experience. She got a little nervous but then she pulled it,\u201d said a proud Amrinder Sekhon, Ganemat\u2019s father.\u00a0 \u00a0 The senior Sekhon, who was up early this morning to watch his daughter compete in the World Cup final, revealed that Ganemat was a bit low after \u201cnot so good round\u201d on Monday, but picked herself up to win a bronze for the country.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cYesterday, the rounds did not go really well so she was a bit upset. But she shot really well. The weather conditions there were really bad yesterday\u2026 In the morning she was pepped up and when she got into the top six she called me and I told her that I was really happy with her performance. But she said it was not enough, I can\u2019t let it go from here. I can do it,\u201d he said. Ganemat took to shooting in 2015 after one of her cousins took her to the shooting range, and since then \u201cthere has been no looking back\u201d. \u201cMy family is into shooting, but not at this level. My nephew is also a shooter and he took her (Ganemat) to the shooting range one day and then she really liked it, and them she said papa I want to do it, that\u2019s how it all started,\u201d Sekhon recalled.\u00a0 \u00a0 He, though, mentioned that things had not been so easy and Ganemat had to really work had to get to this position.\u00a0 \u201cEverything is really tough, but it\u2019s the hard work she puts in that makes things look easier. Otherwise, the sports fraternity, the school, they are all supporting us, so that\u2019s a positive sign,\u201d said Sekhon.\u00a0\u00a0 Ganemat, who studies in Vivek High School, travels to Patiala every day to train under Parampal Singh. \u201cShe is very hardworking. She travels all the way to Patiala and shoots there. The school gives her off at 11, then she goes there, she eats there, for four to five days a week. Then she comes back and does her study,\u201d said the proud father.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chandigarh, \u201cIt is not enough, I can\u2019t let it go from here, I can do it,\u201d young Ganemat Sekhon told herself once she made it to the top six in the skeet final at ISSF Junior World Cup in Sydney on Tuesday.
