    ‘My Body Went Numb’: Ahvar Rizvi Ready For Asian Games Eight Years After One-point Heartbreak

    By IANS News September 09, 2026 • 17:50 PM View: 3
    ISSF Junior World Championship: Eight years after narrowly missing out on the Asian Games by a single point, trap shooter Ahvar Rizvi has finally earned his place in India’s continental Games team, with the 26-year-old set to compete in the men’s Trap event at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.

    The moment Rizvi received confirmation of his selection came in Kazakhstan, where years of disappointment gave way to an emotional celebration with his coach, Vikram Singh Chopra. For the shooter, the selection carried added significance following his heartbreak in 2018 and the subsequent removal of Double Trap from the international calendar.

    “As soon as I finished my round in Kazakhstan, my coach Vikram Singh Chopra came up and told me that I had been selected for the Asian Games. I was in complete disbelief, my body went numb, and I broke down in tears and hugged him. In 2018, I had missed the Asian Games by just one point. The Games come once in four years, and representing India on this stage has been a lifelong dream. The first thing I did was call my parents and elder brother,” Rizvi recalled.
