Baku (Azerbaijan), August 18

Shooters Esha Singh and Shiva Narwal brought cheers to the India camp, clinching the 10m air pistol mixed team gold in the ISSF World Championship here today.

The Indian duo defeated Turkey’s Ilayda Tarhan and Yusuf Dikec 16-10 in the gold-medal match to take the country’s medals tally to two.

India are currently second on the medals table with a gold and a bronze medal, while China lead with five gold and two bronze medals.

The Indians shot superbly in the qualification round, with Esha notching up 290 and Narwal 293. Their aggregate score of 583 helped them top qualification and push Turkey to second spot with an aggregate of 581.

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).
