Rahi Sarnobat: Shooting

Rahi Sarnobat left behind all expectations to become the first Indian woman a gold medal in shooting for the country at the Asian Games. It was India's second gold in shooting at this edition after Saurabh Chaudhary won it yesterday in Men's 10m Air Pistol event.

Rahi clinched the yellow medal in Women's 25m Air Pistol event to kickstart India's day at the medal tally. Along with Sarnobat, 16-year old sensational and Commonwealth Games gold-medalist, Manu Bhaker was also there in this event. All eyes were on her, but Rahi had other plans to surprise everyone.

Though, Manu also started very well with an Asian Games record at qualifying round but failed to capitalize that in the final round and was forced for an early exit.

The final match of Rahi was really a nail-biting one as it went to the shoot-off against Naphaswan Yangpaiboon from Thailand and Rahi just managed to bag the gold at the penultimate shot.
