Anjali, Rajyavardhan bag gold at AAG

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Anjali Bhagwat won gold medals on the fourth day of the shooting competition in the AAG.

Anjali Bhagwat and Major RVS Rathore brought the 'golden' smile back to the Indian shooting camp. Anjali , the ace rifle shooter came up with a superb show, despite ill health, to complete the daunting task of overcoming Kazakhstan's Olga Dovogun, who only a couple of day back recorded a perfect 600 in 50m sports rifle prone.

Rathore, who recently won a medal at the World Championship in Nicosia, shot 130+43 for the double trap gold.

Conditions were not easy but I am happy I won gold, “ said Rathore..

Trailing all through the contest in the 50m three-position event at the Hyderabad University Ranges, Anjali, who has secured a quota place for the Athens Olympics, came up with a final shot of 9.9 to the Kazakh shooter's 7.9 to win by 0.2 points.

"I didn't expect gold in three-position because it is not my favourite event. I was also conscious of the fact that Olga was there”.
