Indian Army Marksmanship Unit: For Neeru Dhanda, the road to Asian Games gold has been built one target at a time. On Tuesday, the 26-year-old Indian shooter finally had a medal around her neck that had eluded every Indian female trap shooter before her.

Neeru produced a commanding performance in the women’s trap individual final in Aichi-Nagoya, finishing with 28 hits to win gold and set a new Asian record. China’s Sun Yunong claimed silver with 26, while Kuwait’s Hajar Abdulmalik took bronze on 21.
