Mairaj Ahmad Khan: 'I won't leave it until I win' as he returns for fourth Asian Games

Mairaj Ahmad Khan is preparing to return to the Asian Games for a fourth time, the Times of India reported on September 21, 2026.

"I won't leave it until I win," Khan said, and the Olympic gold that has eluded him for more than two decades remains his primary motivation. The 50-year-old moved from cricket fields in Bulandshahr to become India's first Olympic skeet shooter and the country's first men's skeet World Cup champion. He reflected on Rio, COVID, personal loss and Cairo, and described his guiding philosophy as "one target at a time."
