Final live

Nicosia Shotgun World Cup: Abhay Singh Sekhon, the youngest member of the Indian men’s skeet shooting trio at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Shotgun in Nicosia, Cyprus, raised hopes of a final entry, ending day two of qualifications in fifth place and a tally of 98 after four rounds.

The Punjab youngster was just one off the pace, with former world champion and Olympic silver medalist Jesper Hansen of Denmark and former junior world champion Elia Sdruccioli of Italy, leading the 91-strong field with 99 hits each.

Abhay (25,24,24,25) had missed just one target over two rounds on Monday and repeated the feat on day two Tuesday, only this time finishing with a perfect-round instead of beginning with one.
