Ankita Deokule, a US citizen of Indian origin, will represent the US in the women's 25m sports pistol event at the Munich World Cup starting May 24. Her father, Amol Deokule, a former shooter from Mumbai now living in the US, is proud to see his dream fulfilled through his daughter. Ankita, who began shooting in 2021 and switched to 25m sports pistol in 2023, trains under Coach Emil Milev at Ohio State University. She will compete against notable shooters like India's Manu Bhaker. This is a moment of pride for her and her family, with Ankita aiming to give her best in the competition.
Ankita is the second shooter of Indian origin to join the US team after Suman Sanghera. Amol, who participated in national-level competitions in India before moving to the US, introduced Ankita to shooting post-Covid-19. Ankita's sister, Anjali, also accompanied her to the range but Ankita developed a keen interest and progressed rapidly, joining the Ohio State University team and improving under Milev's guidance.
