The Indian shooters had won so many medals in the Junior world championship in Lima, Peru, that the organisers had a tough time keeping tab of the count.

After being credited with 16 gold, 15 silver and nine bronze medals at the conclusion, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) had pointed out that the count was wrong to the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).
