Olympian Ayonika Paul regained her confident touch on the trigger with a silver medal in women’s air rifle in the International Shooting Competition of Hannover in Germany.
Ayonika missed the gold by 0.8 point to Jennifer Mcintosh of Britain, who shot 10.8 on the penultimate shot to clinch the issue, after having taken a 0.1 point lead over the Indian before the last two shots.
Anjum Moudgil who had qualified in the second place with a score of 418.5, however, could not get among the medals.
The seasoned Gagan Narang also had an impressive fare in men’s 50-metre rifle prone event as he won the silver medal, a mere 0.1 point behind Karl Olsson of Sweden. Gagan had led by 0.1 point before the last two shots but a 9.9 on the penultimate shot possibly cost him the gold.
Gagan had qualified for the air rifle final as well, but had placed eighth.
