International Shooting Sport Federation: On a day when European nations dominated competition, Akhil Sheoran won the bronze in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions (3P), his first world cup final medal and Ganemat Sekhon set a new national record in women’s skeet, on day two of the on-going International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Final Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun New Delhi 2024, being played here at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting range (DKSSR).

Akhil’s effort meant India now have two medals in the annual ISSF season-ender with one more competition day left, given Sonam Uttam Maskar snared the women’s air rifle silver on day one.
