India soar to top of medal tally
Orissa POST
|August 21, 2025
Olympian Anant Jeet Singh Naruka, was third time lucky, as he turned his silver from last year to gold, overcoming former Asian Games champion Mansour Al Rashidi’s challenge 57-56 in the process, in the men’s skeet final of the 16th Asian Shooting Championship in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.
Shooting on Day Three at the Shymkent Shooting Plaza, Naruka first finished third in qualifying with a score of 119 over two days, before shooting a confident final from the very first shot of the 60-shot decider, to land the biggest medal of his career.
He shot 29 of the first 30 targets, then took the lead for the first time in the match, shooting 35 of the first 36, and went into the final 10 shots, one hit ahead of the champion Kuwaiti. He held on gamely as both missed one in the final round, erasing memories of his silver to another legendary Kuwaiti in Kuwait City last time around.
