    Buenos Aires World Cup: Indian shooter Arjun Babuta pocketed a silver in 10m Air Rifle event at the ISSF World Cup 2025 after finishing just 0.1 points behind reigning Olympic champion Lihao Sheng of China.

    Babuta, who had finished fourth in the men’s 10m air rifle at the Paris Olympics last year, finished with 252.3 points while the Chinese scored 252.4.

    Babuta had a strong opening part to the second competition stage, but Sheng managed to slowly close the gap, sitting just 0.3 behind into the last two shots. A 10.3 and 10.5 looked good enough to seal the title, but Sheng pulled out a 10.9 and a 10.3 to sneak ahead, with the totals finishing 252.4 to 252.3.
