Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar: Sift Kaur Samra stole a march over her four rivals in the Olympic Selection Trial (OST) in the women’s 50M Rifle 3 Positions (3P), winning back-to-back trials here at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting range in the national capital. Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, also entered the OST winners' circle, winning the men’s 3P T2 final in a classic 0.22 scrap to the finish line.
Sift, the reigning Asian Games champion, world record holder and the undisputed India number one in women’s 3P for some time now, shot 465.1 in the OST T2 final, to leave Ashi Choksey 2.4 behind in second. Anjum Moudgil was third, after coming second-best in a shoot-off with Ashi. Shriyanka Sadangi and Nishchal came in fourth and fifth.
On Wednesday, Sift Kaur also won the women’s 3P OST T1 at the same venue. As things stand, one more good performance in Bhopal, where the OSTs 3&4 are scheduled next month, should see Sift through to Paris.
