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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The pair regained the lead they had lost after the first series of single shots, in the 10th series, going ahead 11-9 after a tied eighth series had levelled the scores at 9-9. They did not look back thereafter and needed just the next three series to wrap up the win as the Chinese misfired first under pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They did it in style, too, closing out with 10.6 (Suruchi) and 10.5 (Saurabh) with both the Chinese failing to hit the 10-ring.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
