Apurvi Chandela attains top position in 10m Air Rifle rankings

Apurvi Chandela achieved a new milestone in her career as the shooter became the new world No 1 in women’s 10m air rifle event, according to the latest rankings released by the International Shooting Sport Federation on Wednesday. Anjum Moudgil occupies the No 2 spot in the same event to make it a one-two for India.

Expressing her happiness, Chandela tweeted about the moment saying she “touched a milestone in my shooting career.”

Chandela has been in good form and won the gold medal with a world record sore in the 10m air rifle event at the season-opening shooting World up in New Delhi earlier this year. Moudgil won a silver at the World Championship last year. Both shooters had booked a quota place for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics for India at the championship in Changwon last September.
