The New Indian Express Tirupati
|May 22, 2025
IT was a tense battle among some of the brightest youngsters at the Shooting Center in Suhl, Germany on Wednesday.
In the eight-woman final, India's Kanak Budhwar emerged the brightest as she captured the gold medal, handing India its first yellow metal in the ongoing ISSF Junior World Cup.
After opening with 9.9, 9.4 and 9.5 (scores considered below-par), she retained her cool to stay in the hunt before going on to finish as topper with an aggregate score of 239 ahead of Olympian Anna Dulce, who garnered 237.3. It's her first gold medal at this level and this is a step in the right direction for the 17-year-old from Haryana, who has tall ambitions to be part of the 2028 Olympics. This outcome certainly means a world to Sandeep Nehra, her coach.
