Jr World Cup Shooting: India Sweep Women’s 50m Rifle Prone Podium, Add Men’s Silver And Bronze
ISSF Junior World Cup: India made a flying start to their ISSF Junior World Cup campaign on Thursday, with the women shooters sweeping all three podium spots in the 50m rifle prone event, while the men added a silver and bronze on the opening day of the event at the Dr. Karni Singh Ranges.
Continuing her golden run from the Asian Championships in Kazakhstan earlier this month, young Anushka Thokur clinched the women’s title with a score of 621.6. The 18-year-old had recently bagged the junior gold in 50m rifle 3 positions and showed similar poise in the non-Olympic discipline.
She was followed closely by compatriot Anshika, also 18, who registered 619.2 to take silver, while 20-year-old Aadhya Agrawal secured bronze with 615.9, completing a clean sweep for the hosts.
