International Shooting Sport Federation: India’s World Cup debutants continued to impress as Simranpreet Kaur Brar finished a creditable fifth in the women’s 25m pistol, at the ongoing combined International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup stage in Cairo, Egypt, on Monday.

The teenager, competing at this level for the first time in individual events, had earlier in the day, topped qualification with a score of 586, ahead of the likes of Germany’s reigning world champion Doreen Vennekamp and former Olympic champion Anna Korakaki of Greece, among others.

Two other Indians in the fray could not make the top eight as Rhythm Sangwan shot 582 to finish ninth and Manu Bhaker ended 14th with a score of 580. Doreen and Anna won gold and silver respectively with scores of 39 and 37 in the final, while Hungary’s Veronika Major was third.
