Indian Skeet Shooters Compete Amid Strong Field at ISSF Shotgun World CupPreviousNext

At the ISSF Shotgun World Cup in Lonato, Italy, Indian skeet shooters showed competitive performances amid a strong field. Bhavtegh Singh Gill and Mairaj Ahmad each missed one target on day one, placing joint 14th, while Parinaaz Dhaliwal led the Indian women, finishing tied 11th initially and joint 23rd after four rounds. Despite solid scores, most Indian shooters, including Olympians Raiza Dhillon and Maheshwari Chauhan, faced challenges qualifying for the finals, with top competitors like Vincent Hancock maintaining perfect scores.
