International Shooting Sport Federation: Ganemat Sekhon reached the final only to finish sixth in Women’s Skeet even as none of the men in contention made the top-six cut on the penultimate day of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Shotgun in Lonato, Italy. Ganemat only managed 16 hits out of the first 20 in the 60-shot final, to be the first finalist to be eliminated. Rio Olympic champion Diana Bacosi won gold with 57 hits.

Ganemat had earlier in the day shot a perfect 25 for her fifth and final qualification round for a total of 120 over five rounds. That tied her with three others for the final three qualification spots. A shoot-off ensued and Ganemat shot the first three to clinch the sixth spot at the expense of Peru’s Daniella Borda.

The Indian shooter then began the final well, gunning down all four targets on the first station, along with Dania Jo Vizzi of the USA and the champ Diana.
