Divyansh claimed the men’s 10m air rifle and Elavenil clinched the women’s 10m air rifle final in a cliff-hanger.

Qualification topper Sarabjot Singh was fourth while Naveen was the lowest ranked finalist.
In the women’s air pistol, Esha extended her excellent run by winning the OST T2 final in convincing fashion. She was a whole point ahead of second-placed Rhythm Sangwan, after the first series of five-single shots.
She kept getting stronger as the match progressed to finish with a final tally of 244.9, 3.1 ahead of Rhythm.
Palak came in third to pick up the final podium place as Surbhi Rao and Manu Bhaker finished fourth and fifth respectively.
