Shooting: Sift, Niraj, Win First Olympic Selection Trials In 3P
Olympic Selection Trials: Asian Games champion and world record holder Sift Kaur Samra, emerged victorious in the first women’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions (3P) Olympic Selection Trial (OST T1) while Niraj Kumar outgunned his four rivals in the men’s event, as the on-going OSTs 1 & 2 at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting range here, entered their sixth day on Wednesday.
Sift was up against in-form Ashi Choksey, the qualification topper by a distance, leading after the first 15 Kneeling position shots. She then recovered brilliantly to absolutely blaze through the Prone position and by the end of it, she had not only wiped out the deficit, but in-turn taken a lead of 2.4 over her nearest rival. In the end, her 466.3 was a healthy 3.7 above Ashi’s tally.
Olympian Anjum Moudgil took the final podium point with a third (449.2) place finish. Nishchal (433.6) and Paris quota holder Shriyanka Sadangi (416.7) had to be satisfied with fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
