Indian shooters continued to shine at the ISSF World Cup here on Tuesday, as Ganemat Sekhon and Angad Vir Singh Bajwa claimed the skeet mixed team top honours.

Ganemat and Angad, who had topped the qualification with a score of 141, produced another good show to beat the Kazakh pair of Olga Panarina and Alexandr Yechshenko 33-29 in the gold medal showdown.

Table-toppers India’s gold haul at the ongoing event went up to seven with this win. The hosts have also won four silver and as many bronze medals for a total of 15 medals so far in the tournament.

Another Indian pair of Parinaaz Dhaliwal and Mairaj Ahmad Khan, however, missed the bronze medal by a whisker.

Qatar’s Reem A Sharshani and Rashid Hamad claimed the bronze medal with a score of 32 against the Indian team’s 31. The duo had produced a perfect score in the final four shots but 19-year-old Dhaliwal crumbled under pressure and missed a shot to miss out on a third place finish.
