Centre Fire Pistol Men: Young Indian shooter Manini Kaushik clinched her maiden individual international medal, winning a bronze in the women’s 50m rifle prone at the Asian Shooting Championships on Friday. The 24-year-old from Jaipur also played a key role in helping India secure the team silver in the same event.

Manini shot 617.8 to finish fifth overall, but was elevated to the podium as two shooters above her — South Korea’s Yelin Choi (620.1) and India’s Sift Kaur Samra (617.9) — were competing in the Ranking Points Only (RPO) category, which does not count for medals.

The gold and silver medals went to South Korea’s Hana Im (620.2) and Eunseo Lee (620.2), respectively. Manini’s consistent series of 104.0, 103.8, 101.2, 103.3, 103.2, and 102.3 proved enough to secure the bronze.
