The Indian junior shooting team once again proved their exceptional skills at the ongoing International Shooting Sport Federation Junior World Championship, adding another gold to their impressive collection. This brings their total to 11 gold medals so far. The talented trio of Mukesh Nelavalli, Raajwardan Patil, and Harsimar Singh Rattha dominated the team competition in the junior men's 25m rapid-fire pistol event.
Mukesh, in particular, has been on a winning streak, claiming his fourth gold at the championship, including one in the individual category. With a silver and four bronze medals also under their belt, India remains firmly at the top of the medal tally. China trails behind in second place with three gold and one silver medal.
Both Mukesh and Raajwardan also qualified for the individual final in the rapid-fire pistol event. However, Raajwardan narrowly missed the podium, finishing in fourth place with 17 hits in the first six series of shots. Mukesh, unfortunately, was unable to replicate his previous success and was eliminated in fifth place after scoring 10 hits out of the 25 available targets.
Meanwhile, in the junior men's 50m rifle prone event, Parikshit Singh Brar was the highest-ranked Indian shooter, finishing with an impressive score of 623.0 over 60 shots. Shivendra Bahadur Singh and Vedant Nitin Waghmare also gave their best efforts, finishing in 14th and 24th place, respectively. Overall, team India continues to dominate the competition, showcasing their immense talent and determination.
