Cancer-stricken former India shooter Pournima Zanane has died aged 42, prompting the country’s shooting fraternity, including Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra, to mourn the untimely death. An International Shooting Sport Federation-licenced coach, Zanane had been suffering from cancer for the past two years and also underwent extensive treatment for the same. According to ex-India rifleman Joydeep Karmakar, she almost recovered after receiving treatment. She had represented India at multiple ISSF World Cups, Asian Championships, Commonwealth Championships, among others.

Zanane, who was a national record holder in 10m air rifle event, took to coaching and was honoured with the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports award by the Maharashtra government.

The shooter, who was diagnosed with cancer during the Nationals in Kerala two years ago, started her career in Mumbai before shifting base to Pune. She was born in Nanded.

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) sent out a condolence message after she succumbed to the dreaded disease.

“The National Rifle Association of India condoles the untimely sad demise of our international shooter and a coach – Ms Pournima Chinmoy Zanane, at a very young age.”

“Ms Pournima Zanane was an Air Rifle shooter and took part in many international competitions as Pournima Gawahne. At a later stage, she started coaching shooters and also coached the Sri Lankan team,” the sport’s top body in the country said in a statement.

Beijing Games gold medallist Bindra said the shooter will be greatly missed.
