The Indian also notched up the qualification national record earlier in the day, finishing second with a score of 635.9, which is almost 10.6 per shot over 60 shots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Wang, who completed a hat-trick of world cup wins this year, bettered Ela with a world record (also junior world record) qualification score of 637.9 to top the table. The earlier mark of 636.9 by Germany\u2019s Anna Janssen was shot in the New Delhi World Cup Finals last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With both the reigning Olympic champion (Ban Hyojin of Korea) and World Champion (Han Jiayu of China), qualifying for the top-eight final, it was always going to be a high-quality, intense final, and so it was.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The difference between the first five shooters after the first five-shot series was a mere 0.6, after the second it was 0.1 between the first four, and when Norwegian Rifle ace Jeanette Hegg Duestad went out in fourth after the 20th single shot, the difference between her and Ela, the leader at that stage was 0.6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After hitting nothing below 10.1, Ela\u2019s 21st shot scored 9.8, and that was enough for her to miss out on gold as she fell 0.2 short of Kwon after 22 shots, despite closing out with a high 10.6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The only non-Olympian in the final was Turkiye\u2019s Elif Altun, who was the first to bow out after the 12th single shot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ela\u2019s scores in the final were 10.7, 10.4, 10.8, 10.3, 10.7; 10.4,10.9,10.8,10.3,10.5; 10.8; 10.6; 10.5; 10.1; 10.4; 10.1; 10.7; 10.8; 10.3; 10.7; 9.8; and 10.6<\/p>\r\n\r\n
