Sports News | Aashima Ahlawat Narrowly Misses out on Women's Trap Medal

New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI) Indian woman trap shooter Aashima Ahlawat finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a medal by virtue of having a higher bib number, on the penultimate day of the ISSF Junior World Championship in Lima, Peru.

She was by far the best Indian on show on the day, which had both the men's and women's trap finals on the roster.

Aashima had trapped 25 targets after the first seven five-targets series of the 10-series six-women final, the same as Sofia Gori of Italy.

However, the Italian had qualified second with a score of 115, while Aashima's effort of 113 over two days of qualification had given her the fifth final qualifying spot.
