Shooting: Raiza Dhillon Finishes Fifth In Her Maiden World Cup Final
Paris Olympian Raiza Dhillon: Paris Olympian Raiza Dhillon made it to her first World Cup final, finishing a credible fifth in the women’s skeet event, as India ended competition day two of the second leg of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun, with a tally of two golds, one silver and a bronze medal, second behind China in the standings.
Raiza, a former junior world championship silver medallist and a bronze winner at the Asian Championships last year, shot a solid final for a debutant in an awe-inspiring field, bowing out at the 30-shot stage of the 60-shot decider with 26 hits to her name.
She could not get the better of fourth-place finisher Jiang Yiting of China, a Paris Olympics mixed team bronze medallist, whom she had to beat given the disadvantage of having the highest bib number. She had shot 19 out of the first 20 to fend off the second Chinese finalist Che Yufei.
