Mayank shot 239.2 to win comfortably from Chandigarh\u2019s Dhairya Prashar (235.3). Madhya Pradesh\u2019s Yug Pratap Singh Rathore bagged the bronze with 214.8. \u201cI am happy that I was able to do well in both events in my first Khelo India Youth Games competition. I am looking forward to a podium finish in the Asian Championships later this year,\u201d the 16-year-old Mayank said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Khelo India Athlete Prachi Gaikwad (Maharashtra) edged out Tilottama Sen of Karnataka in the girls 50m rifle 3 positions event. Taking part in her second Khelo India Youth Games, Prachi improved on the previous edition\u2019s showing when she had won bronze. The Maharashtra girl scored 458.4 against Tilottama\u2019s 455.6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI was lucky enough to be focussed ahead of this event. I am happy with the result. It has been a consistent growth since training at the Khelo India Accredited Academy (KIAA) in Pune and I have enjoyed playing in the Khelo India Games,\u201d the 17-year-old said. She takes inspiration from Paris 2024 medallist Swapnil Kusale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Competing in the 50m rifle 3 positions for the first time in a Khelo India Youth Games, Tilottama is taking her experience forward. \u201cI\u2019m happy with the performance, though I\u2019m not focused much on the colour of the medal. I\u2019m getting used to the 50m event, which I started just after the Paris Olympics trials. My focus will be both rifle events,\u201d said the Bengaluru-based 17-year-old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
