Meanwhile, the Indian pair of Shambhavi Shravan and Naraen Pranav grabbed the gold medal in the 10m air rifle mixed team junior event, defeating China 16-12 after a dominant show in the latter part of the series.

The Indian team had finished third behind the two Chinese teams in the qualification round. Since only one team from each nation can compete in the final, the Chinese 2 team, comprising Tang Huiqi and Han Yinan, qualified after topping the qualification. The Indian team totalled 629.5, finishing behind China 2 (632.3) and China 1 (630).

Shambhavi scored 105.4, 105.2, and 104.4 in her series, while Pranav started slowly with 103.7 but improved in the next two series, scoring 105.7 and 105.1.

Another Indian team in the fray, comprising Isha Taksale and Himanshu, finished fourth in the qualification with a total of 628.6.

This is the second gold medal for Shambhavi, who had won the women’s junior 10m air rifle event with Hrudya Shri Kondur and Isha Anil, setting a junior world record score of 1896.2 on Friday.
