Maheshwari Chauhan

Maheshwari Chauhan is a 28-year-old Indian shooter from Siyana, Rajasthan, who gained attention for her near miss at the Paris Olympics, where her team lost the bronze medal match in skeet shooting by just one point. Growing up in a family of shooters, she picked up a gun at age 13, inspired by her grandfather and father, both of whom competed nationally. Despite the heartbreak of her Olympic experience, Maheshwari is determined to turn that pain into purpose as she prepares for future competitions, including the Asian Games and the 2028 Olympics.
