New Delhi: India completed a historic 1-2 in 10m air pistol as Palak and Esha clinched the gold and silver medals, respectively, in the final, on Day 6 of the ongoing Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou on Friday.

It was the shooting team, comprising Palak, Esha Singh and Divya Thadigol, which won India’s first medal of the day, clinching an Asian Games silver in women’s 10m air pistol team event. Indian shooters – Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Swapnil Kusale, Akhil Sheoran – again extended the medal tally by winning a gold in men’s 50m rifle 3 positions team event with a new world record.
