Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): India’s Manu Bhaker won India’s sixth medal at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol Bhopal, picking up a bronze in women’s 25-metre pistol at the Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy range on Saturday. China continued its domination, winning the sixth gold medal out of eight so far.

In the ranking matches before the final, two Indians made the ranking round with Manu Bhaker shooting a solid 294 in the second rapid-fire stage to finish third with a score of 584. Esha Singh came seventh with 581.

India stands second with lone gold medal won by Sarabjot Singh in men’s 10m air pistol, one silver and four bronze medals.
