Sabeera Haris, a first-year BBA student at Jamia Millia Islamia, has secured the top position in the Senior Women's category at the Perazzi Cup shotgun shooting competition in Lonato, Italy, with a score of 187 out of 200. The competition took place from July 23 to 26.
Sabeera currently holds the top rank in India in the Junior category and became Asian Junior Champion in September 2025 with an Individual Gold Medal at the Asian Shooting Championship in Shymkent, Kazakhstan. She has also won Bronze Medals in Porpetto, Italy, Peru, and Cyprus, and a Silver Medal in Germany. Her coach is JMI alumnus Rayyan Rizvi.
JMI Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mazhar Asif and Registrar Prof. Md. Mahtab Alam Rizvi congratulated Sabeera. She is now preparing for the World Cup in Porpetto, Italy, scheduled for September 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Sabeera's achievement stands out because the Perazzi Cup is a high-level international shotgun event that attracts elite shooters from multiple countries, making her win significant beyond just the scoreline. She is one of the few Indian women competing at this level in shotgun, a discipline where India has traditionally been stronger in rifle and pistol events. Her consistent medal record across Italy, Peru, Cyprus, and Germany shows she is a rising contender. The next major test will be the World Cup in Porpetto in September 2026, which could help her qualify for future global championships and potentially the Olympics.
