Hyderabad: Anjali Bhangwat put aside her indisposition to claim a silver medal in the women's 10m air
rifle final, while Jaspal Rana made amends for the October 27 below-par show to clinch a silver in the
men's 25m Standard Pistol on the third day of the shooting events at the Afro-Asian Games on October
28.
It was a creditable performance by Rana, who scored 574 points to secure the second spot behind Tack
Park Byung of Korea who won the gold with 578.
China's Guohui Liu, whose gun malfunctioned in the first detail, took bronze medal with a tally of 570.
On the other hand, Bhagwat, who was indisposed and vomitted twice before her event, did not exert
much but still managed to win the silver with an aggregate of 497.2, 1.4 points behind gold medal winner
Kyong Un Park of Korea.
Bhagwat was leading by 0.2 points at the end of eighth shot in the final round where she had scored a
superb 10.5 as against 9.6 by Park, who had three perfect scores and a 97 while the Indian recorded
scores of 99, 98, 99 and 100 in the qualification event.
