New Delhi: The gold rush continued for Indian shooters at the ISSF World Cup here as Ganemat Sekhon and Angad Vir Singh Bajwa claimed the skeet mixed team top honours on the fifth competition day here on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old Ganemat and 25-year-old 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. It was the only final lined up for the day.

With this, table-topper India’s gold haul at the ongoing event went up to seven. The hosts have also won four silvers 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 at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range on Tuesday.

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 even as 19-year-old Dhaliwal crumbled under pressure and missed a shot to miss out on a third place finish.

For Angad, it was his second gold after having claimed the yellow metal along with Gurjoat Khangura and Mairaj Ahmad Khan in the men’s skeet final on Monday. India’s youngsters have also been in stupendous form in the tournament and won the mixed team gold medals in both the 10m air pistol and 10m air rifle events on Monday. While Saurabh Chaudhary and Manu Bhaker netted the 10m air pistol mixed team gold, Divyansh Singh Panwar and Elavenil Valarivan claimed the top finish in the 10m mixed air rifle event. Indian men won the skeet team event, while the women settled for silver.

Ganemat started shooting on the insistence of her father Amrinder Singh Sekhon in 2015 and soon completed a hat-trick of silver medals in the senior National Shooting Championship in 2018 at Jaipur. In the selection trials held at KSSR in January, Sekhon had topped qualifying with a score of 120, which was a huge six points ahead of the second place. Ganemat also competed in the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, where she finished 10th.
