Asian Games: Record-Breaking China Cruise to Mixed Team Rifle Gold; Indians Finish 4th
On Wednesday, the Indian women's skeet team of Maheshwari Chauhan, Parinaaz Dhaliwal, and Raiza Dhillon secured bronze at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, with a combined score of 331.
Three days of intense qualification rounds led to the team's podium finish, as their combined performance placed them in third position among international competitors at the Aichi-Nagoya Games.
China claimed gold with 357 points while Kazakhstan secured silver with 336; individual scores of 111 for Dhillon and Dhaliwal plus 109 for Chauhan reveal team consistency.
Both shooters qualified for the individual final scheduled for later Wednesday, extending India's medal prospects beyond the team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Games.
This bronze marks India's sixth shooting medal at the Asian Games, adding to a tally that now includes four silver and two bronze medals from the range.
Chu Ga-eun fired the golden shot in the women's 10m air pistol event at the Asian Games. This is the first gold medal for Korean shooting at this competition. On the 23rd, at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games shooting final held at the Aichi Prefectural Shooting Range in Japan, Chu Ga-eun scored 246.3 points (a new Games record)
