Shotgun Shooting: Zoravar Sandhu Wins Men's Trap Bronze At Athens World Championship
Shotgun Shooting World Championship: Around 31 years after he shot his first junior world championship and 27 years after he shot his first senior world title, Zoravar Singh Sandhu of India, at the ripe young age of 48, clinched the men’s trap bronze at the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) World Championship Shotgun 2025.
Shooting at the Malakasa Shooting Range in Athens, Greece, on Friday, the Indian overcame rain, shadows, and the most unsuitable bib number to nail down 31 of the first 40 targets in the 50-shot final. He finished behind former Olympic champion and now world champion Josip Glasnovic of Croatia, who won gold with 44 hits, and junior world champion Andres Garcia of Spain, who won silver with a score of 39.
“It was a great experience. It was a tough range, tough conditions to shoot, but that’s how it is, and here we are. I would like to thank my family, my coaches, and teammates for their support,” said a visibly pleased but amazingly calm Zoravar after the final.
