Sameer Ghulia missed the gold by one point to Yan Chesnel of France in the Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany, on Wednesday.
The 16-year-old Sameer, who had won the Junior World Championship silver in Cairo last year, led by two points before the last series of five shots. While the French boy rose to the occasion and had five hits, Sameer could manage only two which resulted in him being pushed to the silver by one point.
