National Shooting C'ships: Olympian Raiza Dhillon Sets One And Equals Another National Record
National Shooting Championship Competitions: Olympian Raiza Dhillon of Haryana made the skeet finals in both women's senior and junior sections of the ongoing 67th National Shooting Championship Competitions (NSCC) for Shotgun events at New Delhi’s Dr. Karni Singh Shooting range (DKSSR), creating one new national record and equalling another en route.
Raiza, who represented India in the Paris Olympics, shot a score of 122, which helped her top both the junior women’s and women’s qualification rounds, was two better than Simranpreet Kaur Johal’s junior record of 120 achieved in the 2018 Jaipur Nationals and equal to Ganemat Sekhon’s effort at the recently held ISSF World Cup Final in Delhi.
Seasoned Ganemat, infact, followed Raiza into the six-woman final in the second spot with a tally of 118 hits over five rounds and two days of qualification. Madhya Pradesh’s Vanshika Tiwari and Rajasthan’s Yashasvi Rathore were among those who made both the junior and senior women’s finals.
