ISSF World Cup: Sifat Kaur Samra won Bronze, Norway’s Gonate Hague captured Gold

Norway’s Gennet Hague Dusted won the gold medal with 466.9 points while Emily Jigi of Switzerland won the silver medal with 464.8 points. Emily finished ninth in qualification with 590 points but managed to make it to the final as two shooters in the top eight were shooting for the ranking points (RPO) only.

In the qualification, Sifat finished second by scoring a total of 592 marks in three phases of Neeling, Prone and Standing. He won the gold medal in the World Cup at Buenos Aires earlier this year, which made a great start of this session after a disappointing performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

France’s Agathe Cell Camily Girrd also scored 592 points in the qualification but was at the top due to more targets in the interiors (X) of 10 points. Switzerland’s Audrey Goganiat finished third in qualifying.

Among other Indians, Ashi Chowk was ranked 11th with 589 points in the qualification, while Anjum Maudgil finished 27th with 586 points. Shrisanka Sadangi finished 53rd with 582 points and Nischal finished 60th.
