Vanshika shot 241.3, while Sejal ended with 239.6 after the 24-shot final, cementing India’s position at the top of the medal tally with a haul of three gold, four silvers and three bronze medals as competition day three drew to a close. Liao Ke Rong of Chinese Taipei won bronze with a tally of 218.3 after 22 shots.
