International Shooting Sport Federation: Parth Rakesh Mane picked up a double gold as he crowned junior world champion in the 10m air rifle along with winning the team event as India's medal tally continued to surge at the end of competition day three of the on-going International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Championship Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun.

After pocketing the 10m air rifle individual title, Parth, combining with Ajay Malik and Abhinav Shaw, won gold in 10m air rifle men's team event . India’s third gold of the day came when Gautami Bhanot, Sambhavi Kshirsagar and Anoushka Thakur, won junior women’s 10m air rifle team event.

Parth Mane’s effort was, however, the highlight of the day as the 16-year-old overcame a field-oozing class with consummate ease to deliver a virtuoso performance. He shot 250.7 in the 24-shot final to pip reigning junior Asian champion Huang Liwanlin of China by 0.7.
