He showed incredible calmness under pressure during the intense final round, finishing with twenty-eight successful hits. Shortly after, Rohit Kanyan secured India’s second individual gold of the day with a brilliant performance in the men’s three-position rifle competition.
The country’s female athletes also shined brightly on the global stage. Prachi Gaikwad fought hard to secure a silver medal, finishing as the proud runner-up in the women’s rifle event.
India’s success extended deeply into the team categories as well. The men’s rifle trio, featuring individual champion Rohit Kanyan alongside Vedant Waghmare and Hithesh Srinivasan, combined their skills to capture a bronze medal. Another bronze medal was quickly won by the men’s rapid-fire pistol team, thanks to the accurate shooting of Sameer, Abhinav Choudhary, and Sahil Choudhary.
With these latest victories, India comfortably maintains its position at the very top of the tournament’s overall medal standings.
