India’s young shooter Ramita Jindal won a bronze medal while teammate Mahuli Ghosh finished fourth in the women’s 10m Air Rifle competition at the 19th Asian Games at Hangzhou on Sunday.
The 19-year-old Ramita finished with a score of 230.1 to finish third behind two Chinese shooters to claim India’s second medal on the opening day of shooting competitions at the Fuyang Yunhi Shooting Range just outside Hangzhou City.
Ramita had qualified for the final in the second position Sunday but a poor score midway through the final hampered her progress and she had to be satisfied with a bronze medal.
The score of 9.9 pulled her back and though the youngster from Haryana tried to recover with consistent shots in the range of 10.7 in her last five attempts, it was still not enough in the end to help her overtake the Chinese opponent.
