Cairo, Nov. 9 -- A late slip notwithstanding, double Olympian Elavenil Valarivan came up with a fine performance to win bronze in the women's 10m air rifle event on the first competition day at the World Championships in Cairo on Saturday. The 26-year-old was on course to take the top spot but a below par 10.0 on the 19th shot triggered the drop. Having slipped to third from the pole position, she had a poor 9.9 on the 22nd shot to bow out in third place with a score of 232.0. This is Elavenil's first individual Worlds medal to add to multiple Asian titles. South Korea's 2024 Paris Olympics champion Ban Hyo-jin won gold with a score of 255, while China's junior world champion Wang Zifei, who trailed Elavenil till the 19th shot, took silver with a score of 254. The Indian women's team of Elavenil, Meghana Sajjanar and Shreya Agrawal took bronze with an aggregate of 1893.3. China (1901.7) and South Korea (1899.9) took gold and silver respectively. Meanwhile, Ravinder Singh achieved the biggest success in his career by winning gold in 50m pistol, a non-Olympic discipline. The 29-year-old Naib Subedar in the Indian Army won individual and team bronze in the 2023 edition in Baku....
