Shooter displays nerves of steel in the men's 50m rifle 3 positions final in World C'ships to win bronze & an Olympic quota for India
DESPITE some noteworthy wins under his belt at the elite level in the past, rifle shooter Akhil Sheoran had been in the shadows. For many, especially outside shooting, he was an unknown. He doesn't even possess a Wikipedia page; that speaks for itself. On Sunday, Akhil's stocks would have risen massively as he displayed nerves of steel to carve out a medal-winning performance at the ongoing ISSF World Championships (an event which is considered only second to the Olympics) in Baku. In a high-quality field (men's 50m rifle 3 positions), Akhil was ice cool and generated some solid scores to finish on the podium. In the process, he clinched an Olympic quota for India. That takes India's quota tally to five.
