Asian Shooting C'ship: Neeru’s Double Gold Sees India's Tally Reach 50 Medals On Day 8
Asian Shooting Championship: Indian shooters logged 50 medals at the 16th Asian Shooting Championship in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, after Neeru Dhanda won the women’s trap gold and the junior women’s 25m pistol trio of Payal Khatri (gold), Naamya Kapoor (silver) and Tejaswini (bronze), registered a podium sweep in the individual event, as competition day eight concluded at the Shymkent Shooting Plaza.
In the women’s trap, Preeti Rajak fell short at 105, but Neeru (20,23,20,23,21) and Aashima Ahlawat (21,23,22,20,21), who won bronze with 29 hits, shot five-round totals of 107 each to finish fifth and sixth in qualification. A three-shot shoot-off was needed to decide their bib numbers. Qatar’s Ray Bassil took bib one, winning a three-way shoot-off at 110.
The final was a tight contest between the two Indians, the Qatari and Japan’s Nanami Miyasaka in the initial stages, and later, Chinese Taipei’s Liu Wan-Yu emerged as the challenger as Miyasaka faded.
