Vijay-Udhay win shooting gold in Khelo India

Pune, January 14 

City twins Vijayveer Sidhu and Udhayveer Sidhu were within a fifth of a point that is 0.2 points, of winning both the gold medals in shooting at stake at the Khelo India Youth Games here Monday. Coming in the way of that dream was World Junior Championship bronze medallist Arjun Singh Cheema of Punjab, who edged out Vijayveer Sidhu in the Under-21 final by the slenderest of margins.  Vijayveer made a gallant bid to upstage his rival with two very good shots for 10.5 and 10.7 in the climactic moments. But even though his team-mate got only 9.9 and 9.8 with his last two shots, Cheema had done well from the start of the final to hold on to a victory by a wafer-thin margin (241.2-240.9) in the Under-21 final, it said. Later, Udhayveer made light of qualifying in sixth place and kept challenging leader Rajkanwar Singh, again of Punjab, until he crumbled in the last four shots. —PTI
