Indian shooter Om Prakash Mitharwal strikes gold at World Championships

Indian shooter Om Prakash Mitharwal picked up his maiden gold medal at the ISSF World Championships, claiming the top honors in the 50m pistol event in Changwon, South Korea on Tuesday. The 23-year-old, a bronze-winner in the 10m air pistol and the 50m pistol events of the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast earlier this year, shot a score of 564 to finish on top.

Jitu Rai
Jitu Rai finished at 17th with a score of 552

The silver was won by Serbia's Damir Mikec (562), while the bronze went to local favorite Daemyung Lee (560). The seasoned Jitu Rai, who won a silver medal in the 2014 edition of the tournament, endured disappointment as he finished 17th in the field with a below-par score of 552. The ongoing championship is the first qualifying event for the 2020 Olympics.

ISSF
Manjit failed to make the finals along with Rai

The International Shooting Sport Federation's (ISSF) premier tournament is offering as many as 60 berths across 15 Olympic events. In the team competition of the same category, Mitharwal, Rai, and Manjit (532) combined for a fifth-place finish with a total score of 1648. Manjit signed off 56th in the individual field, failing to make the finals along with Rai.

Women Shooters
The women shooters failed to make final at World Championships

The women shooters faltered in the 10m air pistol event. Manu Bhaker, after a medal-less Asian Games campaign, and senior shooter Heena Sidhu failed to make the finals. Bhaker shot a score of 574 to be 13th, while Sidhu was further down at 29th with a total of 571. The Indian team finished fourth combining for a total of 1713.

Olympics
Anjum Moudgil and Apurvi Chandela secured quota places for Olympics

On Monday, Anjum Moudgil and Apurvi Chandela became the first set of Indian shooters to secure quota places for the Olympics by winning a silver and finishing fourth respectively in the women's 10m air rifle event. Though the two shooters have secured quotas, as per the stated policy, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) will take the final call on selection.
