NEW DELHI: Tejaswini Sawant has won silver in the finals of the women’s 50m rifle prone, finishing behind Singapore’s Martina Lindsay Veloso. Her medal on Thursday at the Belmont Shooting Centre is India’s 25th, and with Neeraj Kumar and teenage pistol sensation Anish Bhanwala placed first and third respectively after Stage 1 of qualifying in the men’s 25pm rapid fire pistol event, India looks in line for more shooting medals.
This is the sixth CWG medal for 37-year-old Sawant, following two golds in 2006 and a pair of silvers and a bronze in 2010.
