Shoot-off denies skeet gold for Raiza Dhillon in Junior World Championship

Raiza Dhillon missed the gold in the women’s skeet final shoot-off after being tied on 51 hits with Miroslava Hockova of Slovakia in the Junior World Championship in Changwon, Korea, on Tuesday.

It was a commendable effort from the 19-year-old Raiza after qualifying for the final in the sixth place with a modest score of 110. She overcame a bad start in the final to stay in contention for the gold before being beaten 2-1 by the Slovak.

It was the second World Championship medal for Raiza after her team gold last year.
