Indian shooter Anish Bhanwala secured the silver medal in the men’s 25m Rapid Fire Pistol event at the Asian Shooting Championships in Shymkent, Kazakhstan on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Anish scored a total of 35, just one point behind the gold medal winner, China’s Su Lianbofan. The bronze medal was claimed by Korea’s Lee Jaekyoon.
Anish initially held a one-point lead after the first four series but fell behind in the subsequent rounds.
On Tuesday, Olympian Sift Kaur Samra delivered a remarkable performance, winning the individual women’s 50m rifle 3 positions gold and contributing to India’s team title victory.
India has so far won 72 medals in the competition, which also includes junior events. Thirty-nine of these medals are gold, largely due to the outstanding performances of junior shooters.
