Baku: The stage was set for a remarkable display of skill and precision as the young Indian duo, Shiva Narwal and Esha Singh, clinched the gold medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event at the ongoing ISSF World Championship. This victory not only marks India’s first gold but also secures its second medal at this year’s prestigious tournament.
Their victory came in an intense face-off against Turkey’s Yusuf Dikec and Sevval Tarhan, resulting in a resounding 16-10 victory in favor of the Indian pair. Shiva and Esha’s exceptional performance in the Olympic event not only showcased their proficiency but also underscored their potential to excel on the global stage.
Impressively, Shiva and Esha demonstrated their dominance early on by emerging at the top of the qualification stage, surpassing 65 competing teams. Their consistent performance earned them a score of 583 after 30 shots each in the first qualification relay. This prowess allowed them to lead not only in both relays combined but also outshine the experienced Turkish duo of Dikec and Tarhan, who secured the second position with a score of 581. The bronze medal went to China, who defeated Iran in a nail-biting bronze medal match.
As the final unfolded, the Indian duo showcased their mettle by winning the first two single-shot series, establishing an early lead of 4-0 in the race to 16 points. Although Turkey mounted a comeback, drawing level and even briefly taking the lead at 6-4, Shiva and Esha remained unshaken. Their resilience shone through as they made a remarkable turnaround, securing two solid 10s in the sixth and seventh series, while their Turkish opponents faltered with two 9s. This shift in momentum allowed Esha and Shiva to regain control, eventually seizing the lead at 10-6. With unyielding determination, they held onto this lead, clinching the coveted gold medal. https://www.sportiwe.com/
