Samaresh Jung

National pistol shooting coach Samaresh Jung, who guided Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh to bronze medals at the Paris Olympics, returned to India yesterday only to discover that his family's home of 75 years in Delhi was scheduled for demolition.

Samaresh Jung's fairly big house became his mini-hospital after he tested positive for COVID-19 along with five of his family members.

Tibor was instrumental in the development of top Indian shooters like Samaresh Jung, Jaspal Rana, Anjali Bhagwat and Suma Shirur to name a few. Samaresh even dedicated his five gold medals and his 'Best Athlete Award' in 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games to Tibor.

Indian shooters put up a dismal show on another windy day as they drew a blank for the third day in running with only pistol expert and Melbourne Commonwealth Games hero Samaresh Jung coming up with something notable in the Asian Games on Wednesday.

Heena Sidhu won a silver while Samaresh Jung bagged a bronze for India in the Commonwealth Games shooting at Dr Karni Singh Range here on Wednesday.

India's ace pistol shooter Samaresh Jung might have ruled out emulating his Melbourne feat in the upcoming Commonwealth Games but he expects a good collective performance from the nation's shooting contingent in the October 3-14 megaevent.

Star boxer Vijender Singh finds the sports system in the country a "hell" while shooter Samaresh Jung has serious problems with the administrators and both reckon time is ripe for a structural overhaul.

Samaresh Jung shot down two more gold medals while Gagan Narang and Joydeep Karmakar combined to shatter a meet record as the Indians continued to rule the roost in the Commonwealth Championships here on Friday.

Setting three new records, Indian shooters continued their dominance on the shooting ranges for the fourth consecutive day. India reigns supreme in the medal tally with 13 gold, 9 silver and 5 bronze medals.

Samaresh Jung remained true to his nickname 'Goldfinger' and notched up one of India's three gold medals on Sunday as the country's shooters continued their dominance at the top of the table by taking their medal count to 17 on day four of the Commonwealth Championships.
