Dhanda's form powers India's trap medal push
Nagoya witnessed Neeru Dhanda's impressive trap shooting performance on Sunday, as she consistently hit 48 out of 50 targets to share the top position in the women's qualification of the Asian Games. The New Delhi-based shooter, who recently clinched an individual World Cup title in Italy, appeared to be in top form. Neeru missed just two targets out of the first two rounds, scoring 24 and 24 respectively, thereby finishing the day jointly at the top with Qatar's Bassil Ray.
Her strong performance kept India in contention for the women's team medal, alongside Aashima Ahlawat and Manisha Keer, who together scored 130 points, occupying joint second place with Qatar and Kuwait, while China led with 136 points.
