    International Shooting Sport Federation: Olympian Gurpreet Singh came close to becoming world champion in the men’s 25m Center Fire Pistol event but had to settle for silver after losing on inner 10s to Ukraine’s Pavlo Korostylov at the Olympic Shooting Range, marking his second individual medal in the ISSF World Championship 2025 after a silver in the 25m Standard Pistol event in Changwon in 2018, while Yann Pierre Louis Fridrici of France claimed bronze.

    India wrapped up their International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Championship campaign in third place with 13 medals—three gold, six silver and four bronze—finishing behind China, which topped the table with 12 gold, seven silver and two bronze, and South Korea, which secured seven gold, three silver and four bronze to take second position.

    Gurpreet shot a total of 584-18x across two days, recovering from ninth place after the precision stage where he scored 288-8x (95, 97, 96), to fire an exceptional 296-10x (98, 99, 99) in the rapid stage to clinch the silver, while Korostylov, who led with 291-14x after precision, shot 293-15x in rapid to tie Gurpreet’s score and win gold on the basis of superior 29 inner 10s including a perfect 100 in the final rapid round.
