Indian Shooters Shines Bright In Munich, Returns Home With Two Gold And Two Bronze
ISSF World Cup Buenos Aires: The Indian pistol and rifle shooters showcased exceptional performances at the recently concluded ISSF World Cup 2025 in Munich, securing four medals, including two gold and two bronze. This achievement propelled India to an impressive third-place finish in the overall points table, trailing only China and Norway.
India's medal quest began with two-time Olympian Elavenil Valarivan, who clinched a bronze in the women's 10m air rifle category. The 25-year-old demonstrated remarkable skill, registering a score of 231.2 in the final. Earlier in the qualification round, Valarivan set a new national record with an outstanding score of 635.9.
Adding to India's bronze medal tally was Sift Kaur Samra in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions event. The 23-year-old, who holds the current world record in this discipline (recorded during the 2022 Asian Games with a score of 469.6), secured her podium finish with a final score of 453.1. This win follows her gold medal triumph in the same category at the 2025 ISSF World Cup Buenos Aires earlier this year.
