Asian Shooting Championship Rifle: Elavenil Valarivan, Shambhavi Kshirsagar and Naraen Pranav, all picked up their second gold medals, as India won both the senior and junior 10m air rifle mixed team events, to take their gold count to 22 at the ongoing 16th Asian Shooting Championship Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun, in Shymkent, Kazakhstan on Saturday.

Ela (316.3) and Arjun (317.7) shot 634.0 in qualification to top the 27-team field in the Olympic event, while India’s second pair of Mehuli Ghosh (317.7) and Rudrankksh Patil (314.9) also shot well for a tally of 632.6, giving them second on the leaderboard.

However, given the rules of the tournament, Mehuli and Rudrankksh missed out on a shot at a medal as Ela and Arjun set up a gold medal clash with the young Chinese pair of Peng Xinlu and Lu Dingke, who were third with 632.3.
