Young Indian shooter Apurvi Chandela once again proved herself as she clinched the silver medal in women’s 10m air rifle event of the ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Cup Finals on 3rd September 2015 in Munich, Germany. She finished second on the podium after she tallied 206.9, just 0.6 behind Ahmadi Elaheh of Iran. Ahmadi won the gold medal with a tally of 207.5. Andrea Arsovic of Serbia bagged the bronze.
National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Raninder Singh was delighted about Chandela’s performance. “Her record suggests that she is the best finalist among all Indian shooters as every time she makes the final rounds, she comes back with a medal of some colour. This medal will surely boost her confidence even more towards the aim of winning an Olympic medal, hopefully gold,” Raninder said.
