Indian Shooters Shine: India secured GOLD in the 10m air pistol men's team event with a remarkable score of 1734-50x points. The winning team consisted of Sarabjot Singh, Arjun Singh Cheema, and Shiva Narwal. Sarabjot and Arjun also successfully qualified for the finals in the individual event.
The Indian shooters' performance was nothing short of extraordinary. Initially, they weren't among the top 10 in the individual standings, and their team was ranked fifth in the standings. However, their fortunes turned in the last three series, culminating in a gold medal.
As the competition progressed, India found itself in a promising position for gold in the men's 10m air pistol team event after six rounds. However, in the individual category, no Indian athlete was currently in a qualifying position.
Swimming Update: India's Shivangi Sharma faced an uphill battle in the 50m women's freestyle heats and finished 7th with a time of 26.92 seconds, unlikely to advance to the medal round.
Badminton Success: India had a successful outing in the badminton women's team event round of 16, defeating Mongolia 3-0. After convincing wins by Sindhu and Ashmita, Anupama Upadhaya sealed the victory with a 21-0, 21-2 win in her singles match, negating the need for doubles matches.
Wushu Battle: In a closely contested match, Roshibina Devi faced a 2-0 defeat against China's Wu Xiaowei in the wushu women's 60kg final, securing a well-deserved silver medal for India.
