Moudgil went down 12-16 in the gold medal match to Denmark’s Rikke Maeng Ibsen. Moudgil, also a World Championships silver medallist, had on Thursday qualified for the top-eight ranking round with a score of 587 out of 600. That gave her a fourth-place finish in the 60-player field.
Today, she finished second to Ibsen in Stage 2 with 406.5 to the Norwegian’s 411.4. She then put up a strong challenge in the final but could not put it across the Dane.
It is her second individual World Cup silver in the event.
