By IANS News November 24, 2023 • 22:14 PM View: 437

International Shooting Sport Federation: Anish Bhanwala scripted history on Friday after winning bronze in the men’s 25m rapid-fire pistol (RFP), a first ever medal for the country in the event at the prestigious season-ending International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Final (WCF) at the Lusail Shooting range.

It capped a momentous year for the 21-year-old, where he broke through with a first ever senior individual ISSF World Cup stage medal and a first senior Asian Championships medal and a Paris Olympic quota place to boot.

Anish shot 27 in the final on Friday evening, finishing behind world championship bronze medallist German Peter Florian who took gold with 35-hits, and reigning world champion and double Olympic medallist Li Yuehong of China, who was second with 33-hits after eight series of five rapid-fire shots.
