Smoking gun: Suruchi Singh, India's latest golden girl in shooting
The New Indian Express Mysuru
|April 17, 2025
LATE on Tuesday, pistol shooter Suruchi Singh nailed her second gold medal in as many weeks.
LATE on Tuesday, pistol shooter Suruchi Singh nailed her second gold medal in as many weeks. For an 18-year-old (who'll turn 19 soon), who was taking part in just her second World Cup, it was mighty impressive.
In a sport defined by the finest of margins, Suruchi was operating with an air of calmness, especially during crunch moments, to trump some big-hitters of the game including her senior compatriot Manu Bhaker, double Olympic medallist.
In a tense final of the women's 10m air pistol event at the Las Palmas Shooting Range in Lima, Suruchi and Manu were the last women standing (eight had started the final). Both ended with scores below 10, but it didn't matter as the teenager had done enough to clinch gold with a tally of 243.6. Manu had 242.3 while China's Yao Qianxun finished third. Less than 24 hours later, Suruchi kept up her medal streak by winning gold alongside partner Saurabh Chaudhary in the mixed team event.
