India took silver in the men’s 10m air-rifle team event; China’s reported world record awaits official confirmation.
India won silver in the men’s 10m air-rifle team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Monday, with Rudrankksh Patil, Himanshu Dhillon and Parth Mane combining for 1890.1 points. China won gold with 1899.0 and South Korea took bronze with 1884.2, according to reports from the event.
Patil also finished third in individual qualification with 631.8, while Dhillon was seventh with 630.0. Both advanced to the individual final. Mane placed 10th with 628.3 and did not qualify.
The result gave India its third medal of the Games, all three in shooting. The other two were the women’s 10m air-rifle team silver and Elavenil Valarivan’s individual silver, according to the International Shooting Sport Federation.
Reports described China’s 1899.0 as a world record, but no official men’s event result sheet or primary-source record confirmation was available in the material checked. China has the gold and, for now, the paperwork-shaped final word.
