Adarsh Singh clinched the men’s rapid fire pistol silver in the Junior World Championship shooting here. Adarsh was in the race for the top spot after a strong start of two perfect rounds in the final, but was overtaken to the gold by Henry Turner Leverett of USA, 32 to 28.

The Sidhu twins, Udhayveer and Vijayveer, also made the final but were placed fifth and sixth respectively.

The trio of Rhythm Sangwan, Naamya Kapoor and Manu Bhaker won the sports pistol team gold by beating USA 16-4 in the climax.
