India’s Ganemat Sekhon won the bronze medal at the women’s skeet event at the ISSF World Cup being held in Delhi. Her compatriot Karttiki Shaktawat finished fourth, just missing out on a medal. UK’s Amber Hill went on to win the gold medal after beating Kazakhstan’s Zoya Kravchenko in a shootout, after the two ended at a tie after 60 targets.  Shaktawat had started strong, leading for the first two sets of 10 targets, and staying either tied at the top or very close behind for the third set, before falling behind in the fourth. Sekhon, on the other hand, came back from a slow start to grow into the game and stayed neck-to-neck with Hill and Kravchenko. But in her final round of four shots, she missed three, as Kravchenko went ahead of her.

Amber Hill put in a consistent performance throughout, as she stayed tied at top for majority of the game before breaking ahead. Zoya Kravchenko was nearly eliminated in the first round itself, but came back strong to make it to the final two, before tying with Hill after 60 targets with 51 successful shots each.

In the shootout, the Kazakh missed her fourth shot, and with Hill hitting all four of her targets till then, took the gold medal.
