India won one gold and one bronze medal in the ISSF Shooting World Championship on Tuesday. The trio of Isha Singh, Manu Bhaker and Divya Thadigol Subbaraju won gold in the women’s 25m pistol team event. Meanwhile, Aishwarya Pratap Singh Tomar, Akhil Sheoran and Neeraj Kumar won bronze in the men’s 50 meter rifle three positions team event.
The women’s team scored a total of 1761 points. South Korea stood second with 1748 points and Vietnam stood third with 1745 points. This is India’s second gold in this championship. Earlier, the men’s 50 meter pistol team had also won gold.
Isha and Manu could not achieve Olympic quota
India did not get Olympic quota in women’s 25 meter pistol individual event. Isha Singh and Manu Bhaker, who won team gold, could not win medals in the individual finals. Manu was fourth with 27 hits and Isha was eighth with 11 hits. In this, the countries of the top-3 players were to get a quota place for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Both had performed well in the qualification round. Isha reached the finals by standing third with 590 points and Manu reached sixth position with 587 points. Divya Thadigol Subbaraju finished 10th with 584 points and could not make it to the finals.
India has so far got one individual Olympic quota in this championship. Jaipal Malviya had secured the quota for Los Angeles Olympics by winning silver in the men’s 10 meter air pistol event.
Manu Bhaker had won 2 medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Isha collected maximum 590 points
In the 25 meter pistol team event, the ranking of India’s team is decided by adding the scores of all three players. Isha scored 590, Manu scored 587 and Divya scored 584 points. Isha’s score was the highest in the team.
In this event, players have to aim in two parts. The first precision round gives more time to aim. After this there is rapid round, in which one has to fire rapidly within the stipulated time.
Isha scored 292 points in precision and 298 points in rapid. Manu scored 289 and 298 points in both the rounds respectively. Divya got 289 points for precision and 295 points for rapid. The Indian team performed particularly well in the rapid round. All three players scored a total of 891 points in this part.

Men’s rifle team won bronze in a close match
Earlier, the team of Aishwarya, Akhil and Neeraj secured third place in the men’s 50 meter rifle three positions event with 1751 points. Czechia won gold with 1754 points and Norway won silver with 1752 points. There was only one point difference between India and the silver winning Norwegian team.
To understand this event, it is important to know the meaning of the ‘three positions’ included in its name. In this, the player has to aim while standing in three different positions. The first is done by sitting on the knees (kneeling), the second by lying on the stomach (prone) and the third by standing straight. The total score of the player is formed by adding the scores of all three positions.
Aishwarya scored 587 points, while both Neeraj and Akhil got 582-582 points. Aishwarya was the highest scoring shooter of the team.
