BHOPAL: India's opening-day high delivered by Sarabjot Singh's air pistol gold was overshadowed in style by China with a sweep of gold medals on three of the five competition days of the ISSF World Cup held here at the Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy.
It's the first World Cup in 2023 that China chose to participate in, and possibly because the World Cup stages are no longer Olympic quota events, the Chinese decided to field a second line of shooters, while names like reigning Olympic champions Yang Qian (women's air rifle) and Zhang Changhong (men's 50m 3P) remained at home, preparing for the more important World Championships and the Asian Games later this year.
