Bharat’s Anant Jeet Singh Naruka claimed the silver medal in men’s
skeet event at the Asian Games, adding to the team gold he won alongside Angad
Vir Singh Bajwa and Gurjoat Khangura.
Naruka performed very well and looked on course to win the gold
medal, having not missed a shot until the business end of the final.
Naruka finished his last round with 10/10 to finish his event with
an impressive 58/60 but it was still not good enough for gold as Kuwait’s
Abdullah Alrashidi equalled the world record with a perfect 60/60 to finish on
top of the podium.
Nasser Al-Attiya of Qatar bagged the bronze with 46.
Earlier in the day, the trio of Naruka, Bajwa and Khangura shot a
total of 355 to win the team bronze.
Hosts China won the gold medal while Qatar claimed the silver.
The Indian women’s team, however, crashed out of the shotgun skeet
event by finishing in the fourth position behind Kazakhstan, China and
Thailand.
