The skeet event, which tests precision and consistency with each shooter aiming for a maximum of 125 points, saw India’s women display resilience and accuracy under pressure. Their performance reflects the growing depth of India’s shooting talent, especially in shotgun disciplines where podium finishes have been rare.
This bronze adds momentum to India’s shooting contingent, which has already delivered multiple medals, reinforcing the nation’s reputation as a rising powerhouse in the sport.
