Indian shooter Neeru Dhanda clinched the women's individual trap gold medal at the Asian Games 2026 on Tuesday, overcoming challenging weather conditions. Holding her composure, Dhanda secured the top spot in the eight-shooter final, netting 26 points. As soon as she rang the bell, her coach Peter Wilson erupted in jubilation.
