India\u2019s Sangram Dahiya won silver in men\u2019s double trap and Amanpreet Singh bronze in 50m free pistol to give the hosts their first individual medals in the ISSF World Cup Shooting Final at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range here on Friday.<\/p>\n

Amanpreet Singh\u2019s third spot in the 50m free pistol gave India their first individual medal. He once again showed his temperament by withstanding pressure despite an uneven day through the qualification and final rounds.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old gave a tough competition to Hu Binyuan of China before eventually finishing second to pick up silver.<\/p>\n

Dahiya shot 76 out of 80 targets, three behind gold-medallist Hu Binyuan (79), who set a new world record.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Italy’s Davide Gasparini (56) picked up bronze after scoring 56 points.
\nSangram’s first-ever medal in senior level. He won a gold at the Asian Shooting Championship as a junior shooter way back in 2009, in the event made famous by Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.<\/p>\n

This was India’s third medal at the ISSF year-end event. Heena Sindhu and Jitu Rai had won the gold medal in the 10-metre air pistol mixed-team event on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
