Apurvi Chandela was born on January 4, 1993, in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Her initial interest in sports journalism shifted towards shooting after being inspired by Abhinav Bindra’s gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Chandela began her formal shooting career in 2008 and quickly demonstrated natural talent. She pursued a B.A. Honours in Sociology while developing her shooting skills. Her early career saw her winning the All India School Shooting Competition in 2009 and the Senior National Shooting Championship in 2012, marking her entry into the senior circuit.
Chandela’s international breakthrough came at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where she won a gold medal in the 10m Air Rifle event, setting a new games record with 206.7 points. This was followed by her debut in the ISSF World Cup circuit in 2015, securing a bronze in Changwon and a silver in Munich. She made her Olympic debut at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, competing in the 10m Air Rifle Women’s event. Her consistent performance at the elite level earned her the Arjuna Award in 2016, recognizing her significant contributions to Indian sports.
Over the years, Chandela continued to achieve notable successes. She claimed a bronze medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta Palembang in the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team event, partnering with Ravi Kumar. The year 2019 was particularly significant, with Chandela winning two gold medals at the ISSF World Cups in New Delhi and Munich in the 10m Air Rifle Women’s event. Her victory in New Delhi included setting a world record of 252.9 points, further solidifying her status as a formidable shooter. She also secured a quota spot for the Tokyo Olympics (2020/2021) and competed in her second Olympic Games, demonstrating her continued presence at the sport’s highest level. Chandela is mentored by former National Champion Rakesh Manpat.
