Suruchi had caused more than a flutter in this new season after winning seven gold medals at the Nationals and then a couple more at the National Games. She continued in the same fashion in the National Selection Trials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The day\u2019s other two finals, the men\u2019s 50m rifle 3 positions (3P) T2 and the men\u2019s 10m air pistol T1, were also bagged by the respective newly-crowned national champions in the event -- the Navy\u2019s Kiran Ankush Jadhav taking the 3P title while Army\u2019s Varun Tomar emerging triumphant in men\u2019s air pistol.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Unstoppable Suruchi<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Asian Games champion Palak was closest with 584 while Manu qualified third with 581.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
