At the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range on Friday, Sift Kaur Samra, the ruling Asian Games champion and world record holder in women’s 3P, displayed her dominance by capturing the women’s 50m rifle 3 positions (3P) Olympic Selection Trial (OST) T2 final with a score of 465.1. Ashi Choksey and Anjum Moudgil followed closely behind in second and third place, respectively. Sift had previously triumphed in the women’s 3P OST T1 earlier in the week at the same venue.
Meanwhile, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, India’s number one in men’s 3P and a Paris quota holder, emerged victorious in the men’s 3P OST T2 final. In a nail-biting climax, Tomar secured the win with a final score of 463.6, overcoming Akhil Sheoran by a mere 0.1 point.
