Shooting: Esha Strikes Gold With World Record In 25m Pistol At Munich World Cup
International Shooting Sport Federation: Olympian Esha Singh, a three-time world championship and double Asian Games medallist, bossed the women’s 25m pistol final with a world record (and junior world record) score of 43, en route to gold at the year’s second International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol leg, at the hallowed Olympic Shooting range in Munich on Wednesday.
In a power-packed final, Esha shot perfect fives in half of the 10 series of five shots, leaving home favourite and former world champion Doreen Vennekamp, a full five shots behind in silver. Bulgarian Miroslava Mincheva won bronze in a field where reigning Olympic champion Yang Jiin bowed out in fifth.
It was also India’s first medal of the Munich World Cup after two days of competition.
