Doha, November 23

India’s Ganemat Sekhon reached her first title round of an ISSF World Cup Final and finished fifth in the women’s skeet event at the Lusail Shooting range today.

In the process, she equalled her own national record score of 120 yet again (third time in ISSF competitions this year) when she finished second in qualification behind American Dania Jo Vizzi, going down 5-6 in a shoot-off to determine the qualifying positions.

After shooting three rounds of 24 on Wednesday, Ganemat came back with a 23 and 25 today to make the top six with ease. Kazakh Assem Orynbay won gold and Italian Chiara Di Marziantonio won silver as Dania took home bronze.

In the men’s trap event, Prithviraj Tondaiman shot five rounds of 23 each over two days to finish with a score of 115 and 13th overall.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
