Throughout the pulsating women’s 25m pistol individual final at the Fuyan Yinhu Sports Centre’s indoor hall on Wednesday, where Esha Singh and Manu Bhaker were competing, there was someone whistling every time the Indians did well.
It turned out to be Esha’s father, Sachin. The 52-year-old is a champion national rally driver, but is happy to take a break from his sport to accompany Esha for international competitions.
