NEW DELHI: Indian shooter Apurvi
Chandela broke the world record on
way to winning gold in the women's 10
metre air rifle event at the Swedish
Cup Grand Prix.
Chandela shot 211.2 in the event held
on Tuesday to surpass the feat of
Chinese Olympic gold medallist Yi
Siling, who held the record with 211.
The result marked a positive start for
Chandela, who has already qualified
for the Rio Olympics.
The silver and bronze went to Swedish
shooters Astrid Steffensen (207.6) and
Stine Nielsen (185.0).
An elated Chandela said: "This gold at
Sweden has further strengthened my
resolve to bag a medal at the Rio
Olympics this year. The support,
encouragement and wishes received
from my well wishers from Rajasthan
has stood me in good stead in various
international tournaments."
Chandela had won the gold in the
National Championships held last
month. http://m.timesofindia.com/sport/mor...-world-record-effort/articleshow/50468608.cms
