Esha Singh asserted her efficiency in the final as she defeated qualification topper Rhythm Sangwan (584) to the top spot in women’s air pistol in the second Olympic shooting trials at the Dr. Karni Singh Range, Tughlakabad, on Saturday.
Asian Games gold medallist Palak Gulia took the third spot ahead of Surbhi Rao. Manu Bhaker, who had the second best qualification score of 580, slipped to fifth following a 7.8 on the 16th shot. She did respond strongly with 10.5 on the next two shots but to no avail.
