Earlier, Arjun Babuta and Sonam Uttam Maskar won silver in the 10m air rifle mixed team event as India ended the day with one gold and two silver medals to their kitty. Anuradha Devi had opened the team\u2019s account with a silver in the women\u2019s 10m air pistol on Friday evening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rhythm, who won her second consecutive World Cup mixed team gold in Cairo, and Ujjwal finished second behind the Armenian pair in qualifying with a total score of 580. The Armenians were a point ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indians, however, proved far too superior in the final, going up 7-1 very quickly as Benik had a horror final. The closest the Armenians got was when the scores read 11-7, but Rhythm picked up in the later stages and despite low scores all-around, the Indians prevailed 17-7 in the end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the air rifle mixed team, Arjun and Sonam had topped qualification, piping the British pair of Dean Bale and Seonaid Mcintosh by a point but then went down 3-9 at the beginning of the race to 16 points final. It was soon 6-12, as whatever the Indians threw at the British pair, they would return in kind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But Arjun and Sonam held their composure as Dean showed nerves and inexperience and soon it was 14-14. On match point, Mcintosh showed her class and hit a 10.9 and despite solid 10s from the Indians, the British pair snatched gold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
No Indian shooter, however, was able to make the Trap Shooting finals over at the Shotgun ranges.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zoravar Sandhu shot 118 to finish 12th in the men\u2019s trap even as Bhowneesh Mendiratta (114) and Prithviraj Tondaiman (112) finished further down. In women\u2019s trap, Rajeshwari Kumari was 13th with a score of 110 while Manisha Keer (109) and Bhavya Tripathi (106) finished 15th and 18th, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/issf-world-cup-2024-rhythm-ujjwal-win-mixed-team-pistol-gold.jpg", "alt_img": "ISSF World Cup 2024: Rhythm, Ujjwal win mixed team pistol gold", "alt_title": "ISSF World Cup 2024: Rhythm, Ujjwal win mixed team pistol gold", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ISSF World Cup 2024: Rhythm, Ujjwal Win Mixed Team Pistol Gold On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ISSF World Cup 2024: Rhythm, Ujjwal Win Mixed Team Pistol Gold, Egypt International Olympic City Shooting: India picked up their first gold of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup.", "seo_keywords": "Rhythm Sangwan, International Shooting Sport Federation, World Cup Rifle, New Delhi, Elmira Karapetyan, Benik Khlghatyan, Day Two, Egypt International Olympic City Shooting, Arjun Babuta, Sonam Uttam Maskar, Anuradha Devi, World Cup, The Armenians, The", "tag": "", "tagging": "Rhythm Sangwan, International Shooting Sport Federation, World Cup Rifle, New Delhi, Elmira Karapetyan, Benik Khlghatyan, Day Two, Arjun Babuta, Sonam Uttam Maskar, Anuradha Devi, World Cup, The Armenians", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "issf-world-cup-2024-rhythm-ujjwal-win-mixed-team-pistol-gold", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1194", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-01-27 17:56:02", "updated": "2024-01-27 17:56:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Rhythm Sangwan, International Shooting Sport Federation, World Cup Rifle, New Delhi, Elmira Karapetyan, Benik Khlghatyan, Day Two, Egypt International Olympic City Shooting, Arjun Babuta, Sonam Uttam Maskar, Anuradha Devi, World Cup, The Armenians, The", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-27 17:56:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "857906", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/issf-world-cup-2024-rhythm-ujjwal-win-mixed-team-pistol-gold-12654" }
