Skeet shooters win two bronzes
It was a mixed day for India in shooting. The women’s 10m air pistol trio of double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker, Suruchi Singh and Esha Singh could not win a medal in either the team or individual event. Bhaker was the only Indian from the trio to qualify for the individual final, but she finished fifth. The 24-year-old Paris Olympics bronze medallist later broke down while speaking about the emotional impact of the death of her childhood coach Jaspal Rana in June.
The skeet shooters, however, ensured India did not leave the shooting range empty-handed. The men’s and women’s teams both won bronze medals.
The women’s team of Raiza Dhillon, Maheshwari Chauhan and Parinaaz Dhaliwal finished third with a combined score of 331. China won gold with 357, while Kazakhstan took silver with 336.
Raiza and Parinaaz also qualified for the individual finals but could not finish on the podium.
In the men’s event, Anantjeet Singh Naruka, veteran Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Bhavtegh Singh Gill won bronze with a total score of 346. Anantjeet was the only Indian from the team to qualify for the individual final, where he finished fourth.
