New Delhi: Teenaged Indian shooters continued their fine form in the ISSF World Cup here on Monday by clinching gold medals in both the 10m air pistol and 10m air rifle events.

The 18-year-old Saurabh Chaudhary and Manu Bhaker, 19, clinched the 10m air pistol mixed team gold medal as the hosts consolidated their top position in the overall tally.
