Asian Shooting C'ship: Teenagers Help India Dominate Gold Rush In Shymkent
Asian Shooting Championship Rifle: Teenaged Indian shooters dominated the headlines on day four of the 16th Asian Shooting Championship Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, picking up as many as four of the five gold medals India won across individual and team competitions. It bulged India’s medal tally to 26 medals, including 14 gold, six silver, and bronze medals each, firmly cementing their position at the top of the standings.
Earlier, while all three shooters in the men’s 10m air rifle senior event shot brilliant qualification rounds to give India yet another team gold, Rudrankksh Patil and Arjun Babuta could not convert the opportunity into individual medals, finishing fourth and fifth in the final, respectively.
Patil looked more in contention for a medal right through the final, before bowing out after the 20th shot of the 24-shot final on a score of 207.6. Teammate Babuta had departed two shots earlier with 185.8 as local favourite Islam Satpayev of Kazakhstan took gold, Lu Dingke of China silver, with Park Haejun of Korea claiming bronze.
