Divyansh Singh Panwar breaks 10m air rifle world record to win ISSF World Cup gold

The Indian shooting team had yet another day to remember, when Sonam Uttam Maskar, competing in her first ISSF World Cup, bagged silver in the women’s 10m air rifle competition in Cario late on Sunday.

Masker shot 252.1 in the eight-woman final, finishing 0.9 behind Germany’s Anna Janssen. Poland’s Aneta Stankiewicz won bronze. India is now firmly on the top of the season opening World Cup stage with two golds and three silver medals in their kitty after three days of competition.

Two Indians, Masker and Nancy had made the final after shooting scores of 632.7 and 633.1 to finish the 60-shot qualification round in fifth and fourth spots respectively.
