In the Women’s 10m Air Pistol event, the 17-year-old sensation Palak has emerged as the gold medalist, while 18-year-old Esha Singh adds another feather to her cap with a silver medal.
Palak, 17, headed a thrilling one-two finish for India in the 10m air pistol final on Friday, even as her compatriot Esha Singh clinched her fourth medal in the ongoing Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Palak, who had only started shooting after the Jakarta Asiad, surprised everyone with her calm demeanour, jumping straight to the top of the leaderboard during the final eight. She never lost her place en route to a Games record total of 242.1 in the final.
