Gurpreet Singh Wins Silver in 25m Centre Fire Pistol

Indian shooter Gurpreet Singh almost became the world champion in the 25m Centre Fire Pistol competition.

He earned a silver medal after a very close match against Ukraine's Pavlo Korostylov, who won gold.

Gurpreet had to settle for second place because Korostylov had more 'inner 10' shots, which are used as a tie-breaker.

This is Gurpreet's second World Championship silver medal.

Another Indian shooter, Harpreet Singh, finished ninth, and Sahil Choudhary was 28th.

Overall, India had a good showing at the championships, finishing third in the medal count with 13 medals.
