Olympian Sift Kaur Samra is confident that shooting will be included in the 2030 Commonwealth Games, set to be hosted by India, significantly enhancing the nation's medal prospects. Samra emphasized that hosting the Games offers Indian shooters an opportunity to excel on home ground.

Shooting was absent from the 2022 Birmingham and 2026 Glasgow editions of the Commonwealth Games, but its return could spark renewed interest in the sport. Samra believes that such events inspire a new generation of athletes and enhance sports infrastructure.

With an impressive record, including recent victories at the Asian Championship and Khelo India University Games, Samra's current focus is on the upcoming ISSF World Cup Final in Doha. Looking to the future, she aspires to succeed at next year's Asian Games and eventually the Olympics.
