India’s pair of Rudrankksh Patil and Arya Borse clinched the silver medal in the 10m air rifle mixed team event at the ISSF World Cup Lima.
Patil and Borse went down 11-17 to the Norwegian pair of Jon-Hermann Hegg and Jeanette Hegg Duestad in the gold medal match at the Las Palmas shooting range on Sunday.
This was India’s third silver in the Lima leg of the World Cup to go with two gold medals and a bronze. India is third in the medal standing behind China and the USA.
The pair had shot a combined 632.5 to make it to the gold medal match, finishing 0.1 points behind the table-topping Norwegian pair.
Another Indian pair, Arjun Babuta and Narmada Nithin shot 630.0 to finish seventh in the 24-team competition.
Meanwhile, it was not a good day for the Indian trap shooters as they fell short of the final.
Pragati Dubey finished at the best spot — seventh — with a 113. The top six make the cut to the final. Bhavya Tripathi finished 12th while Neeru took the 18th spot.
