Shooting World Cup: Suruchi, Saurabh Pair Strikes Gold In Lima
International Shooting Sport Federation: The pair of Suruchi and Saurabh Chaudhary struck gold at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun in Lima, Peru, winning the 10m air pistol mixed team title 17-9 over the Chinese pairing of Yao Qianxun and Hu Kai. It was the teenager Suruchi’s third ISSF World Cup gold and Saurabh’s ninth, including his fifth mixed team gold to go with a mixed team World Cup silver.
The pair made the gold medal match at the Las Palmas range with a combined 580 in qualification, with Suruchi outscoring Saurabh by a couple of points. The Chinese pair topped with 585. In the decider as well, the Chinese pair got a head-start shooting off to a 2-6 and 4-8 advantage, before a time out called by Indian coach Samaresh Jung brought a change in the momentum of the match.
Suruchi shot splendidly throughout, and the couple of times she missed the 10-ring, her Tokyo Olympian partner made up with high 10s, including a 10.9 for his first hit of the match.
