Shooting: Sabeera Haris Wins Bronze In The Junior World Cup In Italy
International Shooting Sport Federation: Sabeera Haris won a bronze in the women’s trap to help India open their account on competition day two of the ongoing International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup in Porpetto, Italy, on Friday. Sabeera shot 29 out of her first 40 final targets, to finish behind Sofia Gori of Italy who won silver with 39 hits out of the full quota of 50 targets in the final. Carey Garrison of the United States won gold with 40 hits to her name.
Qualifying from the 38-strong field with a score of 113, Sabeera further boosted her confidence ahead of the six-woman final as she defeated Sofia in a shoot-off to decide fifth and sixth spots.
She also began the final strongly, shooting down her first four targets, but then missed three in a row to be in a spot of bother. She came back well, missing just three of her next 18 to get right back into contention. She was at par with Sofia and just one behind Carey at that stage. As the competition heated up and shooters began to fade away one by one, Sabeera missed six of her next 15 targets to Carey and Sofia’s three, to settle for bronze in the end. It was, however, a commendable effort.
