ISSF World Cup Bhopal: Rifleman Rudrankksh Patil bags his second bronze medal

BHOPAL: The 19-year-old Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil put his hand on his chest to feel his heart after his last shot. "I think it was racing at around 200," he said with a smile following his second bronze-medal finish at the ISSF World Cup here at the Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy.

Patil didn't get a good start in the ranking match after finishing fourth among the top eight qualifiers with a score of 631.0. But he erased the deficit of 0.8 in the fifth series of five shots to break into top three that was until then being dominated by the Chinese trio of Sheng Lihao, Du Linshu and Yu Haonan (261.7), who was left in fourth place by Patil's 262.3 for a bronze medal.
