The Indian shot 51 targets in the 60-shot final, to finish behind Phoebe Bodley-Scott of Great Britain, who shot 53. Home favourite Annabella Hettmer won bronze.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Raiza\u2019s effort saw her win her first individual ISSF World Cup medal at any level as she played out her last junior year. It was also India\u2019s third medal of the prestigious Suhl Junior World Cup and the second silver to go with Kanak\u2019s gold on Wednesday in the women\u2019s air pistol.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Classy effort<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Raiza had quite a bit of work to do in the day, beginning in fourth place with a score of 71 after three rounds of qualifying. She shot rounds of 22 and 23 to eventually qualify second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Crucially, what confirmed the second place was not the tally of 116 that she had conjured over five rounds, but coming up trumps after a three-way 24-shot shoot-off between Phoebe, Hettmer, and herself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She took that confidence into the final, to begin with four clean hits on the first Station 3, and was slotted in second behind Phoebe after the first 10 targets with one miss to her name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYesterday was ok, but today was really cold and windy,\u201d said Raiza after the final, and as conditions started to become really tricky, misses started happening all around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lidiya Basharova of Kazakhstan was the first to be eliminated after 20 targets and next to go was reigning junior world champion Madeleine Russell of Britain, followed by reigning junior European champion Arianna Member of Italy, as Raiza assured the nation of a medal with 32 hits in the first 40 targets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With eyes on gold, she struck down 19 out of the next 20 targets, but the lead of three that Phoebe had taken into the final 10 targets could only be brought down by one as Raiza settled for silver.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s nice to have an ISSF World Cup medal. After changing my technique before the Olympics and settling down to it only after them, I knew results would come. I reached the final at the Peru Senior World Cup and took that confidence here. I now have my sights set on the next Lonato World Cup,\u201d she signed off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
