India's shooting contingent endured another disappointing day at the ISSF World Cup in Hangzhou, finishing without a medal for the second consecutive day. The result has added to concerns as the competition serves as an important build-up event ahead of the Asian Games.
The standout Indian performance came from Vidarsa Vinod in the women's 50m rifle three positions event. She advanced to the final but was unable to climb into the medal places, ending her campaign in sixth position.
Other Indian shooters also fell short of the podium, continuing a difficult stretch for the team at the World Cup. With medals proving elusive across events, the overall showing has drawn attention because of the timing of the meet and its value as a form guide before the next major continental test.
The back-to-back medal-less days underline the challenge facing the Indian squad as it looks to regain momentum. While reaching finals remains a positive sign, the team will be hoping for sharper finishes and stronger execution in the remaining events in Hangzhou.
