Khelo India Youth Games Champion: India's international shooters Ramita Jindal, Swapnil Kusale and Anish Bhanwala, emerged triumphant on day two of the national rifle/pistol selection trials 1, currently underway at the Karni Singh Shooting range.

Ramita won the women’s 10m air rifle trial 1 in a close encounter with Haryana state-mate Nancy. Paris quota-winner Anish, was a class apart in the men’s 25m rapid-fire pistol (RFP), while over at the only final to be played at the 50m range, Swapnil, yet another Paris quota-winner, halted a Haryana sweep, registering a facile win in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions event.

Ramita was behind in the qualifications to both Nancy, who topped with a sizzling 634.9 and third-placed Swarnali Roy of West Bengal. Her 630.4 placed her fourth, but she was solid throughout the final, only losing the lead by 0.1 once to a late surge from Nancy after the 20th shot. That extended to 0.3 after the 22nd, but two solid 10.8 and 10.6 to close out, meant she clinched it by 0.5 in the end.
