India is second in the overall medal table with one gold, one silver and four bronze medals.
Pistol ace Manu Bhaker won India’s sixth medal at the ISSF World Cup in Bhopal on Saturday, picking up a bronze in the women’s 25m pistol event at the MP Shooting Academy range. China however, continued their domination of the tournament, winning a sixth gold medal out of the eight decided so far. The final competition day comes up on Sunday with two more finals left to be played – the women’s 50m 3-Position rifle and the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol.
In the women’s 25m pistol, two Indians made the ranking round with Manu shooting a solid 294 in the second rapid-fire stage to finish third with a score of 584. Esha Singh bagged the seventh spot with 581. That meant both Indians found themselves in the first ranking match together from where, eventual gold medallist Doreen Vennekamp of Germany and Manu, qualified for the medal match with 14-hits each out of 20. Esha was third with 11-hits while Alejandra Zavala Vazquez of Mexico was fourth with 10-hits.
