    Jr Shooting World Cup: Kanak, yet another upcoming talent from Haryana, won India their first gold of the ongoing International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany, shooting 239.0 in the 24-shot eight-women 10m air pistol final, to upstage Anna Dulce of Moldova, a two-time Olympian and reigning European Champion by a margin of 1.7 points. Chinese Taipei’s Chen Yen-Ching won bronze.

    Earlier India had two shooters qualify for the junior women’s air pistol final with Prachi qualifying a spot behind Kanak in fifth as the two shot scores of 571 and 572 respectively.

    Kanak, a junior world championship silver medalist in Lima last year, then showed her experience at this level, by bringing out the big 10s when it mattered most towards the closing stages of the final, to win in a canter in the end.
