Day five

Karni Singh Shooting Range: Olympians Rhythm Sangwan and Swapnil Kusale did the star turn on Wednesday, Day Five of the Rifle/Pistol National Selection Trials (Group A) at Delhi’s Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range (DKSSR) here. Rhythm Sangwan (women’s 25m pistol T2), Swapnil Kusale (men’s 50m rifle 3 positions - T1) and Arya Rajesh Borse (women’s 10m air rifle T2) took home the winner’s bragging rights at the end of it.

Haryana’s Rhythm was the day’s first winner, emerging best after a couple of shoot-offs, from a finals group that had four other Olympians in the fray, among them Paris Olympics double bronze winner Manu Bhaker, who finished second.

Swapnil was next and was a class apart in the men’s 3P T1 final, while Arya Rajesh Borse registered a memorable triumph in a high-quality scoring women’s air rifle T2 final, falling just one short of the world record score, achieved at the same venue.
